Which should you buy?
What decides this is not the score, it is the display. Even Realities G2 shows information on the lens, while Ray-Ban Meta Gen 3 shows nothing and answers through the speakers. Reading is far faster than listening, but you pay for it in battery, price and discretion.
Ray-Ban Meta Gen 3 wins the overall score by 1.1 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 9 h for the Ray-Ban Meta Gen 3. The reason is the camera: recording is what drains the cell.
Ray-Ban Meta Gen 3 has a camera and Even Realities G2 does not. If you want to capture without reaching for your phone, the comparison ends there.
Both have manufacturer-confirmed language support.
Watch the warranty: Even Realities G2 offers 2 years and Ray-Ban Meta Gen 3 offers 3 years.
