Notes

Smart glasses are wearable electronics exposed to sweat, drops, and daily charging cycles. Repair is typically limited to accessories like charging components and minor fit parts.

Replace is usually the better option when battery capacity declines significantly, when the camera or audio hardware fails, or when durability issues affect comfort and consistent everyday use.
