A Must Have

Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2017

They work! They are easy way to use and I think they look fine not funny on me. Most people don't even notice the Spectacles emblem nor even realize when they are being recorded which can lead to some interesting snaps! The upload to your snap acct is seamless the snaps automatically import to Snap on your cell app when they are within Bluetooth range or closer. They are really convenient when you're driving especially if you live where it's a violation to get caught holding your cell. I enjoy them on bike rides anywhere u need 2 hands!
When I don't have them on I find myself reaching for the record button on my regular sunglasses if I see something Snap worthy!
The Only drawback is that since I do enjoy them so much I wish they were Polarized. They are not. But they are good quality dark glasses just not polarized.
I was really surprised how well the batteries hold up and it's so easy and fast to recharge. The care itself is the charger. The case will recharge the glasses 4x before the case itself needs a charge.
They honestly save me a lot cell battery as I tend to Snap often.
Besides not being polarized the only other draw back is that unlike the Snap App that has a glad feature the glasses do not. Therefore in very low light conditions they are useless... Unless you wear a Lighted led hat ( can get on Amazon). So for the bedroom... Haha
Oh maybe one last drawback they aren't waterproof but then neither is my cell. I still wear carefully in the pool though.
Seriously considering buying for my kids so they will be even more inclined to Snap me from college.
They would also make a great gift and maybe function just as well as wearing a Go pro..
Although GoPro does have a dog harness mount and my husky refuses to wear these to record his adventures!!!
Hands free Snapping!

The shipping of this product was good, but it said it was new while i found an open box , then the battery case of my spectacles didnt work i just charge my spectacles directly with the USB cable ! I didnt expect to buy a non working case product while said it was a new product !!

Highly Recommend!

I was skeptical at first when I first purchased the Spectacles as the reviews were hit or miss. Now that I have owned the spectacles for about two weeks, I cannot get over how easy and useful these glasses are. Although it takes a bit to get used to (about an hour or so), you soon realize how fun these glasses can be! The ability to film in HD is a game changer and the spectacles allow you to film sporadic events without having to take out your phone. Was at a barbecue over the weekend and everyone was obsessed with the glasses. Three people ended up ordering a pair of their own by the end of the night. Highly Recommend!

These are so fun! They make the Snap Chat experience very different for those who are watching it. Plus I like that I can snap while driving and be hands free, and I can post it to my story when I get to my destination. It took me a minute to pair them to my phone but once I figured it out they were ready to go. Plus the case is the charging dock! I would highly recommend these if you love snap chat. If you're not sure you want to invest in these there are a few YouTube video reviews out there that you can watch to help you make the leap.

Hands-free video recording

Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2017

Verified Purchase

Having used these for a couple weeks now, I've really enjoyed being free to experience what was going on around me and record videos hands-free. After syncing the videos to the app, I get to choose what I share. The round videos are really cool to watch on snapchat full screen by rotating my phone to see horizontal with wider viewing angles and vertical with taller viewing angles (as well as any angle in between). The transfer of HD video is a little clunky and although I would want to record videos at night but these are sunglasses which makes that difficult--so I'm removing a star. Otherwise, I'm a fan.

These work pretty well. Transfers are slow

Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2017

Verified Purchase

What have I become? These work pretty well. Transfers are slow. I wish I could post straight to my snap without having to download, select, then upload. Case is AMAZING, love that it has a batter in there as well. I wear these while riding my motorcycle, and the video is great - unfortunately the keyhole in the middle creates a jet stream of air that rams straight into your eyes. I fixed this with some black gaff tape- it may be ugly, but it works great! I wish I could find the mic on these, to cover as well. Wind noise is insane. Exporting videos for use outside of snap is pretty worthless as well. The resolution, once cutting a 16x9 out of the circle video, is pretty low.

Love my specs!

The media could not be loaded.

This is my second pair of Snap Spectacles. I absolutely love them. I am able to take hand free videos of my Disneyland 5ks, ziplines and other adventures. I have used them while in the pool BUT they are NOT waterproof. I do not get them wet. They charge quick in either the charging base or with the usb plug provided. The charging base when fully charged can give me about 4 full charges for my glasses. These glasses only take videos in 10 second intervals up to 30 seconds if you press the button 3 times. They import to your snapchat and you have the choice to edit, save and share. They do NOT take pictures. I hope soon they will. Mine are comfy enough to wear daily. You must charge your charging base also. The base will light up with charging and so will the glasses.

OMG I freaking love these!

OMG I freaking love these!!!!!! They are so fun, easy to set up with your phone, stay charged for a longer time than I thought they would, the case actually charges the glasses so you don't have to always have the plug with you. The recordings are almost like putting myself in my eyes again when I watch the video. I will say I'm a little said you can't take just a snap with them you can only make 10 second video clips.

Fun accessory to have but it's not perfect

Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2019

Verified Purchase

I've enjoyed having my first-generation Specs. I use them every day to record content and as regular sunglasses. They are perfect for brief, handsfree recording and I always get great feedback when I use the footage in my social media (which is VERY often). I recommend these for older Snapchat users, not for children.

I'm also glad that Snap Inc. has updated the design of the Specs. I don't care for the first/second generation design because it's so recognizable to those who know about Specs or who notice the camera in the corner when it's not recording (it lights up when it is recording).

Because I'm a heavy user, I have had some tech issues with these in the past, including uploading content and charging. Additionally, the nose guards have popped off and get dirty fast if you wear makeup on your nose. But Snap Inc.'s Customer Service has been great to me and has helped me with my issues quickly and successfully. If you ever have problems with your product.

Really cool concept and they present some interesting perspectives

Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2018

Really cool concept and they present some interesting perspectives. I got some black O shaped stickers on ebay to cover the yellow trim (was like $3) around the camera and LED circle, it makes a huge difference and I feel like I call less attention to myself.

PROS:
- First person perspective viewing without wearing a go-pro
- You can still focus on the event without fooling with a camera
- Relatively comfortable and light-weight

CONS:
- Kinda flashy, Snapchat clearly wants everyone to recognize the glasses as their brand
- The shape is a little more on the feminine side for my taste (I'm a male)
- Sometimes it takes awhile to export snaps from glasses to phone
