Google opens Intelligent Eyewear pre-orders from $395 ahead of December 10 sale

Google has opened pre-orders for its Intelligent Eyewear collections, built with Warby Parker, Gentle Monster and Samsung, with prices from $395 and a December 10 on-sale date in stores and online.

Warby Parker's three styles start at $395. The lineup covers Alden, Reid and Wren in optical or sun versions, in Pine, Saddle and Jet Black. Buyers can choose prescription, width and lens options. Guided demos can be booked at more than 360 Warby Parker stores.

Gentle Monster's six designs start at $449. The frames come in dark red, pink, gray and yellow, paired with tinted, clear, blue or brown lenses. Most of them take prescription lenses, and the collection is sold in the United States and South Korea.

The frames weigh around 41 grams and run up to nine hours. Battery life varies with use and settings, and the included charging case refills the glasses up to seven times. A 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera handles photos and video, while open-ear speakers play YouTube Music, Spotify, Apple Music and Audible.

Wearers call up Gemini by saying "Hey Gemini" or tapping the frame. Messages and phone calls also work hands-free.

Gemini handles directions, translation and visual help. Google Maps reads turn-by-turn directions through the speakers, and Google Translate converts live speech across more than 70 languages with automatic language detection. A new Guided Vision feature gives spoken descriptions to people who are blind or have low vision. Saying "Hey Gemini, open Aira Explorer" streams the camera feed to a trained human visual interpreter.

Camera images sent to Gemini stay out of Gemini History. Google says those images are not used to train AI models or target ads, and the glasses are designed to redact bystanders' faces before Gemini processes them. Data on the glasses is encrypted, and so is data leaving them.

An indicator light shows when the wearer records a photo or video, and recording is designed to stop if that light is covered or disabled. Owners set which apps can reach the camera and microphone, and every pair has an off switch.

Sales open December 10 in stores and online. Pre-orders are live online and in store at Gentle Monster and Warby Parker, with hands-on demos at select Gentle Monster, Warby Parker and Google Store locations. Use requires an 18+ Google account from the United States or South Korea.

The glasses pair with Pixel 7 and later phones on the Android 17 September 2026 update, Galaxy S, S FE, Z Fold, Flip and Fold Ultra phones on One UI 9.0 or higher, and iPhone 13 Pro and later. At launch, Guided Vision, Aira and Audible work only with an Android phone.
