A new version of Snap's camera glasses are here — and they have some major improvements over the original model.
Snap on Thursday released the second-generation Spectacles, a slimmer, lighter, better-looking version of the company's camera glasses, and the first hardware update since they were first released in late 2016.
The new Spectacles have a few basic aesthetic improvements — including no obvious yellow rings on the front and more sophisticated colors — but Snap also made some technological tweaks, like adding waterproofing and a still-image mode.
Here are all the major differences between the new Snap Spectacles and the original version:

The new Spectacles cost more than the first generation.
Spectacles now cost $150, a $20 increase over the first version.
The new Spectacles come in slightly different colors.
The new version comes in sapphire, ruby, and onyx.
While they're the same general colors — the original Spectacles came coral, teal, and black, as depicted in the image above — the new Spectacles colors are darker and more high-end.
You'll now have two different options for lens colors with the new Spectacles.
With each color, you can choose between a darker or lighter lens option.
If you want sapphire Spectacles, you can decide between "twilight" and "midnight" lenses. Ruby Spectacles come with "daybreak" or "sunset" lenses, and onyx Spectacles have either "moonlight" or "eclipse" lenses.
