Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 1) Smart Glasses Get 20% Price Drop Ahead of Black Friday
Meta is offering a limited-time 20% Black Friday discount on its Ray-Ban Meta Gen 1 smart glasses — bringing the price down to approximately $240. These AI-enabled glasses, originally launched in 2023, support features like video/photo capture, music playback, and voice calls. The deal is valid across all Gen 1 styles and lenses until December 1, and is available directly from Meta and partner retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and Ray-Ban outlets. In addition, buyers can get 20% off prescription lenses when purchasing either Gen 1 or Gen 2 Ray-Ban Meta, or Oakley Meta HSTN glasses — again, through Meta’s store until the end of the promotional period.
The Key points
- Meta has introduced a 20% price reduction on all Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 1) smart glasses.
- The discounted price brings the starting cost down to roughly $240.
- The promotion runs until December 1, giving roughly a week’s window to order.
- You can buy the offer directly from Meta, with expedited shipping included.
- Major retailers — Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and Ray-Ban stores — are also participating in the deal.
- The sale is global, applying in regions such as Europe, India, Australia, Canada, Mexico, UAE, and the UK.
- In addition to the glasses, Meta is offering 20% off prescription lenses when bought with Ray-Ban Meta Gen 1 or Gen 2, or Oakley Meta HSTN.
- Compared to Gen 1, the Gen 2 version has better battery life, higher-resolution video, and louder speakers.
- Despite the discount, Gen 1 remains less advanced in specs than Gen 2 — for instance, video capture tops out at 1,440×1,920 at 30 fps.
- Meta seems to be using this sale to clear older Gen 1 inventory, without making the offer so steep that it cannibalizes Gen 2 sales.
