Warby Parker will start taking pre-orders on November 12 for its first Intelligent Eyewear collection, the smart glasses it built with Google, and expects to ship them in time for the holidays, according to its third quarter earnings release, which put out the date before Google did. Warby Parker didn’t give a price, but shoppers can already book in-store demos. The glasses use a version of Google’s Android XR software built around audio, with cameras and quick access to the Gemini assistant. Warby Parker’s 2026 forecast now counts on a modest sales contribution from the glasses.
