Posting Spectacles videos to Snapchat is a convoluted process
Recording and transferring clips is easy and quick. The glasses don't look as outlandish as the first version
They're more expensive than before. Recording clips longer than 10 seconds means you have to keep pressing the button, which is annoying, and the glasses still work only with Snapchat

Fun and quirky, Clever charging case, Good build quality and lenses, Easy to use
Syncing video back to your phone is a bit slow, Need to use a forwarding service to buy them in Australia, Can't wear them with regular glasses, Societal ramifications of having a camera strapped to your face
