**Bottom line: the Meta Adventurer is the better buy for most people at $200 less, unless you need the lighter fit.**

- Buy the Even Realities G1 if you want the lighter 44g fit (vs 53g), you need longer battery life (36 hours vs 8), and you want adjustable lens dimming.
- Buy the Meta Adventurer if you want to spend $200 less ($299 vs $499) and you want a built-in camera.
