I Wore Even Realities G2 for 6 Months | Here's What Changed

0:00 When I first reviewed the Even Reality's G2 glasses, I love the hardware, but I was still waiting on the software. Months later, these are my go-to glasses. Would I spend my own money on another pair? Abso freakingutely. But let me show you why. What apps do I actually use? What's changed since they've came out? and the things you should definitely know before you go out and buy these. Hey guys, this is Spencer with Tech with Spencer. And if you're new to these, the Even Reality's G2 are smart glasses with a display inside the lenses. There's no

0:47 camera and there's no built-in speakers. You're seeing things like notifications, captions, and information right in front of you inside the lens. And through Evenhub, even's app store for the glasses, you can add apps that do a heck of a lot more than just that. I've already done an in-depth hands-on review and a full translation test and a review after my first month using them. If you want to see those original tests, I'll link them down below. But I wanted to come back to these because of the software and what I actually use these glasses for have changed a lot since the first review. So, let's pick up where they left off and get right back into it.

1:33 Let's start with what's changed in the even G2 software since the first reviews because that is the biggest reason that these are still my go-to glasses. In my first month review, the hardware wasn't the thing holding me back. It was the software. I thought the AI was weak. I wanted more customization and I was still waiting to see where the app ecosystem would actually go. I said that if I lost these, I probably would wait to see how the software evolved before buying another pair. Now, today though, my answer is completely different. The dashboard gives me more customization now. The controls feel better. And teleprompter is really, really great still. Even has still kept working on things like teleprompter controls, voice

2:20 pickup, and follow-up conversations with the AI. The built-in AI is better. It gets by with basic questions, but it still isn't amazing. I would much rather use my own agent. I've also been reviewing other glasses in this category, like say the Meommind 1 and the Reo IO's. Memoine is making quick work since they started and they are getting better and better every single day and has even started to open up its developer tools so that people can start developing applications. Raino IO only started selling last month in September of 2026. So more to come on their software. They're obviously still very very early. Those are newer ecosystems and I want to see where they go and I will be closely monitoring them before I

3:05 give a full review. Now, even has had a couple years to build out their software ecosystem, so they obviously have a huge head start, but out of all of these glasses, evens are the one that I keep coming back to, and it's worth looking beyond the AI. We've been going through owner discussions to find apps that people are actually trying to use, things like music controls, navigation, and smart home controls. That's the kind of stuff I actually want to show you what these glasses can actually do in your day. But the app I use the most obviously is Oclaw. And that's where this thing gets really freaking cool. Next up is connecting my Even G2 to my

3:51 own AI agent, Hermes. And this part is what gets me so excited. Literally imagine saying, "Hey, even and having an AI agent connected to your computer ready to start working on something for you through the glasses that you're already wearing." That is insane. I have Hermes running now with Oclo connecting it to my G2 glasses. In my setup, I say, "Hey, even or use the ring to get it going." And behind that, I can choose a supported AI model and give the agent the tools I actually want it to use. So, what does that actually open up? With computer access configured, Hermes can find and work with files, write and run code, research things online, and use a browser to get things done. In actual

4:37 email, it can work with that, too. You choose the access and connections, but there's a whole lot you can give it to work with. And you can set up automations. You can say what you want to research on a topic in the morning, and it'll put together a report for you every day. You can schedule that. You build a workflow around something you keep doing so you don't have to explain every step again. It also has memory. With that enabled, it can remember your preferences, details about you, and the projects you've been working on. It can save a useful procedure as a skill and use it again later. So over time, you can build an assistant that knows more about how you like to get things done. That's the part that's really freaking cool. For me, one of the coolest things has been making a website through prompting. Being able to describe what I

5:22 want and have it work on the site is so good. Let me show you what that actually looks like. This is easily my favorite thing that I'm doing with these glasses right now. And when I look back at the very first review that I did, this is exactly the kind of software progress that I was hoping for when I first reviewed these. The hardware is still the same pair of glasses, but now I can use them to talk with an agent to access real tools and real projects. And that makes me way more excited about where these things are going in the future. Getting it all connected has always had hiccups, though. I've run into them and a lot of you definitely have to, which is exactly why I'm working on a walkthrough. All right, guys. Quick heads up. A lot of you have said getting open claw setup was still a huge

6:07 headache. I've hit plenty of hiccups, too, in the past. So, I'm working with AAU, the creator of Oclaw, on a complete Hermes agent walkthrough from start to finish. We're working through the rough spots to make it easy as possible to follow along with that's coming up so soon. So, make sure that you're subscribed if you want to be the first person to see the walkthrough when it drops. Now, live captions are next on the list, and a lot of you have been asking about them, especially people who are deaf or heart of hearing or looking into these glasses for somebody like that in your family. The feature you're looking for is called Conversate, and there's more

6:53 to it than the live text that you see just in your lenses. After you finish a conversation, you can open it in the even app and get an AI summary with the main points and the next steps alongside with the full transcript so you can follow along while someone's actually talking, then go back afterwards and review what was discussed. Now, I don't rely on captions every day myself. So, I put them through real test. Speed, accuracy, a noisy room. The questions coming up are very specific. How quickly does the text appear? How accurate is it? What happens with background noise? And can you comfortably follow a conversation for a long stretch? So, let's show the actual review. Now, >> our first topic is family. And my

7:40 question is, who do you think that you're the most like? >> Who am I the most like? In appearance. >> Yes. >> Both. Both appearance and character. >> Yeah. Oh. >> Okay. So, appearance. I look mostly like my mom, I think. >> Okay. >> I have more of her like skin tone. I have her eyes. >> And on her side of the family, most of the people are pretty skinny. And I'm a rather skinny guy. My dad. >> Our first topic is family. And my question is, who do you think that you're the most like? >> I have the most in appearance. >> Yes. >> Both both appearance and character. >> Yeah. Okay. So appearance I look mostly like my mom like

8:27 her like skin tone her eyes and on her side of the family most of the people are pretty skinny and a rather skinny guy. My dad owner discussions have been useful here because people are describing more than whether captions work at all. Some say that they're very helpful to follow meetings, but they also talk about delays, misspe, and getting tired from reading along. That makes sense. where the text sits and how long it stays visible matter as well. Quiet room, noisy room, that's what you just saw. If captions are the main reason that you're

9:13 buying these, test them where you're actually going to use them. Now, let's talk about battery life on the Even G2s because what is the point of having these if the battery sucks and you can't use them all day? For me, the battery life has been pretty great. To give you an actual example, I had a day of medium use around 7 in the morning to 11:00 at night. A couple 30 minute convers sessions, AI running for a couple of hours, and some tasks and applications open here and there. And by the time I went to charge them, I still had about 60% battery left. I would consider that a full day of very mixeduse activity. I wasn't running

10:00 captions continuously for 16 hours though. But for the way that I use these, I think that's really good. But what if you need Conversate running for most of the day? I looked at reports from other G2 owners. One person using a Samsung phone got just under 12 hours of nearly continuous captions at around 40% brightness with captions only. That same person said that at lower brightness, they normally finished a 12-h hour workday with about 30% battery left. Another owner reported around 6 hours with Conversate running at roughly 75% brightness. So, there's a lot of differences and a pretty big difference between people's setups there. These are older owner reports, though, and we don't have matching software versions or

10:47 we don't know what they are at all with those settings. So, I wouldn't promise everyone 12 hours, but just keep in mind that there's a pretty big difference based on the settings and how people are using it. And keep an eye on your phone battery as well. People mention conversate draining your battery as well. For my everyday use, I've been really happy with the battery though. If captions are something you really need all day, keep the case handy and plan around your phone as well. I noticed a little battery drain, but nothing crazy or out of the ordinary. Now guys, these are super comfortable glasses for me, and they've held up really well over time. Here's some close-up shots of the glasses and the rings today, so you can see how they look now after nearly 8 months of use.

11:43 The exception is the long computer sessions. With my prescription, I find myself squinting when I'm doing really focused work for hours. That's when I switch back to my regular glasses. Now, since the beginning, that's been my experience with my eyes and my prescriptions for these glasses. As always, I wish the frames were a little bit bigger cuz I have a really big head, but that's okay. Maybe with the G3s, they will give us big head users a chance. Now, outside of that kind of computer work though, these are pretty much my go-to glasses. So, what still needs work on the Even G2 glasses? For me, the biggest thing is getting the most out of the software can

12:28 still take a little bit of setup. The native AI is better, but it still isn't what makes these special for me. Getting your own AI agent connected adds to the setup, and different apps have different requirements. Some needs accounts or some need services running elsewhere which is really annoying to set up. Some are still in beta. Going through the owner discussions though. We have also found examples of apps having trouble when say a phone locks or controls that still need refining. That's why I want to demonstrate the useful stuff and show the rough spots as well. And on the hardware side, my long computer session issue is still there. More software customization hasn't changed how these work with my prescription during that kind of focus use. I'm happy with these,

13:14 but I want you to know what you're getting into before you spend this type of money. So, where do I stand on the Even G2s after all this time? When I first got these, I love the hardware, but I was waiting to see where the software would go. Now, these are my go-to smart glasses. Being able to connect them to your own agent is a huge part of that. Would I spend my own money after another pair? Abso freakingutely. Uh if you're interested in these kind of inlens displays, there are a lot more that you can do with it. Now, just figure out which features you actually want to use and what setups that they require. For me, the hardware has held up, the glasses are super comfortable, and the software gives me enough useful things to do that I keep reaching for

13:59 them. I'll link my original reviews down below so you can see the difference for yourself. Now, if you want to see more information about the Even Reality G2, the link is also there as well. Thank you so much for watching, guys, and I will see you in the next video.
