Which should you buy?

Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 wins the overall score by 0.9 points, but that score averages six criteria and you will only use some of them.
Battery is not close: Even Realities G2 lasts 48 hours against 8 h for the Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2. The reason is the camera: recording is what drains the cell.

Both have manufacturer-confirmed language support.
