1. Design and Build

• Frame Style: The RW4006 uses the timeless Wayfarer shape, characterized by its thick browline, gently sloped angles, and sturdy build. The frame offers a universally flattering design suitable for a wide range of face shapes.

• Material: Constructed from premium cellulose acetate with embedded metal components for structure and durability. The frame is engineered to conceal integrated electronics while maintaining a slim profile.

• Weight Distribution: The weight is balanced evenly across the front and temples to compensate for the added tech components, enhancing comfort for prolonged use.

• Color Options: Available in a range of finishes, including matte black, gloss black, and limited-edition translucent colorways.

  • Classic green G-15

2. Camera and Media Features

• Dual Integrated Cameras: Equipped with discreet 12-megapixel cameras embedded in the front corners of the frame. The placement is optimized for point-of-view photography and video capture.

• Photo and Video Capture: Supports hands-free capture of high-resolution photos and videos. Videos are typically recorded in short clips (around 60 seconds).

• LED Indicator: A small LED light signals when recording is in progress to inform people nearby, supporting privacy and transparency.

3. Audio and Microphone System

• Open-Ear Audio: Built-in directional speakers near the ears deliver sound without fully covering or inserting into the ear. This allows the wearer to remain aware of their surroundings.

5. Battery and Charging

• Battery Life: Offers around 4 to 6 hours of active use, depending on activity (recording, calls, music).

• Charging Case: Comes with a custom-designed case that doubles as a charging dock. The case holds multiple charges and uses USB-C.

• Fast Charging: A short 10-15 minute charge provides enough power for brief usage when needed.
