Which should you buy?
What decides this is not the score, it is the display. Meta Ray-Ban Display shows information on the lens, while Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 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 2 wins the overall score by 0.5 points, but that score averages six criteria and you will only use some of them.
Battery is not close: Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 lasts 8 hours against 6 h for the Meta Ray-Ban Display. At that gap, one lasts the day and the other does not.
Both have manufacturer-confirmed language support.
Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 is 19 grams lighter, which you feel on your nose after eight hours.
On price, Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 is 420 $ cheaper.
