Chapter 04 — The story
M08A is no longer in production. Every pair already shipped is still on warranty.
M08A was the most expressive frame we made — Rose Gold or Silver, three lens options, two gigabytes of onboard memory. It was the one you wore when the room mattered.
We are closing this chapter. The studio is consolidating the $169 metal-trim frame around M08C, and the onboard-memory story around M14, which carries 4 GB. M08, M02C, M08C and M14 continue. M08A does not.
If you already own an M08A, nothing changes for you. It stays on our two-year international warranty, and we will service it for as long as you wear it. Some frames belong to a season.
Retired — Chapter 04
M08Ais no longer in production. Every pair we ever shipped stays on our two-year international warranty — we'll service it for as long as you wear it.
The manual continues in acetate.
I wear these as my everyday pair. Half-rim keeps them light. The rose gold tone matches warmer skin tones better than most wearables. Nobody has clocked the camera in three weeks of wearing.
Image quality surprised me — colors feel neutral, not over-saturated like action cams. The 2 GB of onboard memory means I can record short-form all day without tethering to a phone. Rose gold reads as jewelry, not hardware.
Everyone talks about the camera but the directional mic is what converted me. I can shoot interviews outdoors and the wind-rejection holds up. 2 GB onboard memory also means I don't tether to a phone to keep shooting.
The silver pair is my work look, rose gold for weekends. Both frames feel the same in hand — the metal is not a sticker. 2 GB lets me go off-grid for a full afternoon.
