Warby Parker Seemingly Spilled The Beans On Google's Android XR Smart Glasses Launch

Warby Parker said its first “Intelligent Eyewear” collection, built on Google’s Android XR platform, will open for pre-orders on November 12, with customer deliveries targeted for the holiday season, co-founder and co-CEO Dave Gilboa disclosed in the company’s third-quarter earnings release. The eyewear brand has not disclosed pricing, but customers can already book in-store demo slots. Partner Gentle Monster will also sell Intelligent Eyewear, though it has only said its versions will arrive in the fall. The timing matters because it marks the first concrete launch date for Google’s Android XR smart glasses push, which pairs the platform with fashion eyewear brands rather than a single Google-designed device. Next, watch for official pricing, Google’s confirmation of the date, and whether Gentle Monster’s lineup lands alongside Warby Parker’s.
