Snap, the parent company of Snapchat, launched its
first hardware product last year in the form of shades called Spectacles. They
have an integrated camera that makes it very easy to Snapchat all day.
The company only released the device in limited
quantities at first and that was through pop-up vending machines. People waited
in long lines to get their hands on them. Now that the hype has died down, Snap
is finally selling the Spectacles on Amazon, making it easier than ever to get
them.
Snap was selling Spectacles through the vending
machines for quite some time before allowing customers to order them online
directly. And now it is easier to purchase them. All three colors: black, coral, and teal are available for US$ 129.99 on Amazon. They’re eligible for next-day delivery too. Snap is selling
them directly while orders are fulfilled by Amazon.
Snap doesn’t seem to have sold that many units. I
mean they were hard to get. Pop up vending machines were not a great plan to
move many units. A report last quarter suggested that Snap had only sold around
60,000 units. Now they should sell more.
