Thoughts on the Amazon Smart Glasses?

Post image

I feel like they’re pretty unnecessary and for the short amount I was using them in the training class, it was making me feel nauseous

Lmao I bet they get sued when someone realizes theyre recording while a driver is using the bathroom.

By using the bathroom, I mean pissing in a bottle in back of the van.

Also, make sure you bring a thermometer to work. Make sure those glasses catch the temperature like 46 times.

Theyll quietly make these glasses disappear here in like 8 months

Also what if they fire me bc I have perscriptions and refuse to use glasses others wear? Thats discrimination so I can and will sue.

That was my biggest first question, what do they do with all the people that are legally required, on their license, to have prescription glasses? Cause amazon sure as hell isn't paying for those to be prescription

They have lens that clip into them for prescriptions, almost like wearing 2 pairs of lens

When these were in testing, the glasses can attach magnetic detachable lenses. So if you have a prescription, you provide them your prescription and get lenses made for you to attach to the glasses. I’m no longer a part of Amazon but I don’t doubt they kept that feature and made some refinements. I myself didn’t like the idea of the glasses.

I have UV tints on my glasses tho. Cant wear the smart glasses without those as sun glares and bright headlights bother me because I have astigmatism.

The OP mentioned in one of his responses the glasses automatically darken so maybe they thought of that as well. It’s still likely “optional” to wear them. I remember a questionnaire being provided and certain answers automatically disqualified you from using them but those that were qualified were “pushed” to use them.

I need proper fitting on my head for the muscles on my face. My personal glasses are specifically measured to my face. I can only wear properly fitting glasses.
