The Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 1 is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 49,000 for the RW4006 in size 50 with a black frame and graphite lenses, brand new and sealed. This first-generation model from Ray-Ban and Meta builds a 12MP ultra-wide camera, 1080p Full HD video, 32GB of storage, open-ear speakers and a five-microphone array into the square Wayfarer frame. Meta AI responds to spoken requests, and the bundled case recharges the glasses between uses. Our store sits at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, where the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 1 is ready to try.
Designed for field engineers, NGO field staff and logistics coordinators, the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 1 documents work and keeps you reachable when your hands are busy. An engineer checking a plant in Industrial Area can photograph a fault while holding a ladder steady. NGO teams in Turkana or Kajiado can log site visits on video while carrying equipment. The graphite tint, a neutral grey, dims harsh light evenly across long days under open sky in dry, dusty counties. With calls and music playing through open-ear speakers, the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 1 replaces earbuds that block out the people around you.
Mascom International stands apart by stocking both lens options and both generations together, so you can compare the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 1 against its green sibling and the Gen 2 on one counter. Shoppers who compare tints in store often say graphite feels calmer for long outdoor days and pairs better with dark clothing. At KSh 49,000, the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 1 with graphite lenses costs KSh 10,000 less than the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 2. Come to Kimathi Street, or place an order and pay only when the parcel reaches your door.
Common Questions About the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 1
How much is the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 1 Graphite in Kenya?
The Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 1 with graphite lenses is KSh 49,000 at Mascom International in Nairobi, brand new and sealed. For that you receive the black RW4006 frame in size 50, the charging case, a lens cloth and 12-month warranty coverage, with delivery you pay for on arrival. The same Wayfarer with green lenses costs KSh 48,000, so graphite adds KSh 1,000. Moving up to the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 2 costs KSh 59,000, a further KSh 10,000.
Graphite or green: which Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 1 lens should I choose?
Both versions of the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 1 share identical electronics, frame and size, so the real difference is lens tint and a KSh 1,000 price gap. Graphite is a neutral grey that dims light evenly without tinting what you see. Green uses Ray-Ban's G-15 tint, which adds a slight green cast that many wearers like for contrast. Graphite suits people who want a cooler, understated look with dark clothing. Green suits those who prefer the traditional Ray-Ban appearance. Try both side by side at our Kimathi Street counter.
Will the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 1 cope with dust, heat and power cuts in Kenya?
The Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 1 handles daily Kenyan conditions when kept in its case, which shields the lenses and camera from dust on murram roads. Avoid leaving the glasses on a car dashboard in direct sun, since heat is hard on any battery. Treat them like other electronics: keep them out of heavy rain and never swim in them. When the power goes off, the case's reserve of up to 32 hours keeps the glasses running, and it recharges from a car charger or power bank.
Can I take hands-free WhatsApp calls with the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 1?
Yes, the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 1 links with WhatsApp and Messenger, so you can place calls and dictate messages by saying "Hey Meta" and a contact's name. Incoming calls are answered with a tap on the right arm. Your phone handles the network, whether that is Safaricom 5G in Nairobi or 4G upcountry. That suits logistics coordinators directing drivers while carrying stock or tools. Messages read aloud play quietly through the open-ear speakers, though privacy is lower than with earbuds in a crowd.
How many photos and videos fit on the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 1?
The Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 1 has 32GB of storage, listed as holding more than 500 photos or over 100 videos of 30 seconds each. That covers a wedding, a field trip or a week of casual shooting before you need to import. Transfers to your phone run over Wi-Fi through the Meta AI app, and once files are safe on your phone you can delete them from the glasses. There is no memory card slot, so the 32GB is fixed; importing at a lunch break keeps space free during long events.
Which buyers suit the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 1, and which should skip it?
The Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 1 suits outdoor professionals, travellers and casual creators who want neutral grey sunglasses that also record and play audio. Field engineers, safari drivers and logistics coordinators get the most use from it. Skip it if you need clear lenses for indoor work, because graphite is a sunglass tint. If filming is your daily job, the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 2, at KSh 59,000 from Mascom International, lasts longer per charge and records sharper video. Budget buyers wanting a cat-eye look can choose the Ray-Ban Meta Skyler Gen 1.
Do people know when the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 1 is recording?
Yes, an LED on the front of the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 1 lights up whenever the camera takes a photo or records video. If that light is covered, the glasses refuse to capture, a safeguard Meta built in for privacy. In Kenya, as anywhere, ask permission before filming people in private homes, offices or hospitals. Journalists and estate agents should explain the glasses to subjects before recording. Courteous use keeps clients comfortable and protects you from complaints.
What does Meta AI do on the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 1?
Meta AI on the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 1 answers spoken questions, starts photos and videos, controls music and sends messages through your phone's connection. Say "Hey Meta" and ask anything from a quick fact to converting dollars into shillings before paying a supplier with M-Pesa. Some features, such as describing what you are looking at, depend on Meta's regional rollout and may not respond on every Kenyan account. Our staff at Mascom International will show you which features work on your phone before you pay.
