The editors didn't like
Syncing video back to your phone is a bit slow
Need to use a forwarding service to buy them in Australia
Can't wear them with regular glasses
Societal ramifications of having a camera strapped to your face
They're more expensive than before. Recording clips longer than 10 seconds means you have to keep pressing the button

They're more expensive than before. Recording clips longer than 10 seconds means you have to keep pressing the button, which is annoying, and the glasses still work only with Snapchat
Spectacles are fun to use, but the improvements aren't enough to make Snapchatters pay more for version two...

Abstract: You capture some amazing things when you take the camera out of your hands and put it on your face. You also capture some annoyed people who’d like to punch you in the face.
