What is Meta Ray-Ban Display?
It's Ray-Ban Meta with a full-colour screen in the right lens. You control it with the Meta Neural Band, a wristband that reads signals from your forearm muscles so small finger movements scroll and select (MIXED). VR.org lists a 20° field of view (VR.org). Meta's UK store lists up to 6 hours of battery.
What does it cost in other countries?
MIXED reported launch prices of £749 in the UK, $799 in the US, CA$1,149 in Canada and from €899 in France, Italy and Germany (MIXED). The US price was unchanged from its 2025 launch (9to5Google).
Can you actually get one?
Meta describes UK inventory as "very limited". If your size or colour sells out, you can join a waitlist, and Meta has a tool to size the Neural Band at home. Orders have a 30-day return window from delivery (MIXED).
What's missing in the UK?
At UK launch, some features were US-only, including English calendar controls. Mirrored phone notifications were "coming soon", and the Explore browser and Threads feeds were on the way (MIXED). Prescription ordering was confirmed for the US, Canada, France and Italy, but MIXED's report doesn't list the UK.
Watch out for: if you need a prescription, check with Meta before you buy. If you don't need a camera, Even G2 (from £599) has a screen, takes prescriptions from -12.00 to +12.00 and sells in the UK. See Smart glasses with a screen: what you can buy in the UK and US.
Is it worth £749?
It depends on whether you want a screen. Without it, Ray-Ban Meta Gen 3 does the camera, calls and Meta AI for £409 (Ray-Ban Meta Gen 3 price in the UK and US). With it, you're paying £340 more for messages, directions and previews in your view, on a first-generation display product with short battery life.
