Which should you buy?
Both belong to the same family, so here the scores are genuinely comparable.
Ray-Ban Meta Gen 1 wins the overall score by 1.5 points, but that score averages six criteria and you will only use some of them.
Battery is not close: Amazon Echo Frames lasts 6 hours against 4 h for the Ray-Ban Meta Gen 1. The reason is the camera: recording is what drains the cell.
Ray-Ban Meta Gen 1 has a camera and Amazon Echo Frames does not. If you want to capture without reaching for your phone, the comparison ends there.
Only Ray-Ban Meta Gen 1 has manufacturer-confirmed support for your language. That changes daily use more than any spec, and most comparison sites skip it.
