Even Realities G2 review: $599 smart glasses without cameras or speakers

The Even Realities G2 are privacy-first smart glasses from a Chinese startup: a 40-gram titanium-magnesium frame, a monochrome green micro-LED display at 640×350 with up to 1,200 nits and a 27.5-degree field of view, and IP65 protection. There are no cameras or speakers; navigation uses taps and swipes on temple touchpads. The glasses cost $599, with an optional R1 ring at $249.
