Snapchat Spectacles Now Available Online

Snapchat Glasses are now available to buy online. Purchase a pair on Spectacles.com for The states$129.99 in black, coral, or teal. They should ship in 2 to 4 weeks, and each pair comes with a charging case and cable.

Spectacles were announced in September alongside a company rebranding; Snapchat would now exist known as Snap, Inc. Spectacles are smart spectacles that record ten-second bursts of video with just a tap, much like the company's ephemeral app. They arrived in November, simply only via yellow kiosks at random locations around the country, from Venice Beach, California, to New York Metropolis.

The marketing gambit paid off; Snapchat fans (and re-sellers) lined upwards for blocks to grab a pair. PCMag got our hands on some Spectacles in early December and institute them to be "a stylish, playful wearable accessory to take your outset-person social media curation to the natural next level."

Once you go your easily on some Spectacles, pair them with your phone and start snapping. Clips will be uploaded to your account for you to share.

The motion comes as Snap, Inc. prepares for an IPO.
