Our Favorite Smart Glasses Are on Sale for Black Friday (2025)
Whatever you want To say about Meta and its various corporate policies (trust me, we’ve said a lot), there is one indisputable fact. Meta has already won the smart glasses race. By partnering with Essilor Luxxotica, the company has found a way to make smart glasses that everyone wants to wear, even if they come with a heavy dose of artificial intelligence.
If you’ve decided that you simply must have a great facial assistant (don’t be ashamed, me too), you’re in luck. For Black Friday, Meta is offering discounts on the original Ray-Ban Gen 1s, as well as a host of other related discounts.

Smart Meta Glasses
These were the original Meta glasses that became a smash hit. The new version costs $80 more, has better battery life and a better camera. But if you primarily use your smart glasses for listening to music, responding to texts, and taking quick photos of things you need to remember, the original Wayfarers will do the job for you. The OG Meta Ray-Ban Wayfarers are now $239, which is $58 off. Prescription lenses for the new Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) and Oakley Meta HSTN glasses are now 20% off.
Garmin watches are also on sale

To trigger the Oakley Meta Vanguard’s auto-capture feature (8/10, WIRED recommends), you need to wear a compatible Garmin smartwatch. That’s why you can buy some Garmin watches on sale at Meta.com. You can get $250 off the Garmin Fenix 8 47mm, $200 off the Garmin Venu X1, or $100 off the Garmin Forerunner 970, which is our favorite running sports watch. If you purchase one with an Oakley Meta Vanguard, you receive a $50 credit that can be used on any future devices on Meta.com. Meta will email you the $50 credit in February 2026.

Finally, you can get $50 off what we call the best VR headset for n00bs and 40% off Meta Store titles with code BFCM25. The code is reusable, so you can get as many games as you want over the long holiday weekend.
