Which should you buy?
What decides this is not the score, it is the display. Quark AI Glasses S1 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 0.1 points, but that score averages six criteria and you will only use some of them.
Battery is not close: Quark AI Glasses S1 lasts 24 hours against 8 h for the Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2. At that gap, one lasts the day and the other does not.
Only Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 has manufacturer-confirmed support for your language. That changes daily use more than any spec, and most comparison sites skip it.
