The G1 anchors the veneer end of DEPLOY's AI-wearable spectrum. The verified-vs-claimed framework exists for exactly this: separating a genuine, well-built display device from the thin 'AI' marketed on top of it.
💡
The honest read is two-sided: the G1 is a good minimalist display HUD (navigation, teleprompter, translation work), but its 'Even AI' is a light cloud Q&A wrapper, not a genuine assistant. Buy it for the display, not the AI.
The $599 above is a verified actual sale price for the base G1, plus $150 for prescription lenses and $100 for a sun clip. There is no subscription.

Real-world status
The G1 is a well-reviewed minimalist display device: a 44g titanium frame with a monochrome green waveguide HUD and, deliberately, no camera, speakers, or audio. It does navigation, teleprompter, real-time translation, notifications, and transcription well. Its 'Even AI' is a thin cloud Q&A wrapper (Perplexity/ChatGPT), which is why DEPLOY places it at the veneer end of the AI-substance spectrum: a good display product whose 'AI' is a light add-on, not a genuine assistant. This page is editorial honesty about the AI claim, not a recommendation against the glasses.

The G1 deliberately has no camera, speakers, or audio: it is a 44g titanium display HUD whose navigation, teleprompter, translation, and transcription features are well-reviewed.
⚠
Mind the AI claim. 'Even AI' is a thin cloud Q&A wrapper, which DEPLOY tags veneer-tier: the AI marketing outruns what the feature actually is. The glasses are good; the 'AI' is a light add-on.
