Ray-Ban Meta Zena vs Skyler: Price, Colors and Lens Options

The short answer on Ray-Ban Meta Zena vs Skyler: choose the Zena (Gen 3), from RM2,019, if you want a bold cat eye frame and the newer generation. Choose the Skyler (Gen 2), from RM1,729, if you want the lower starting price and a wider spread of colours, including three lighter frame colours.

Both are official US versions, bought new from the Meta Store USA. The rest of this guide covers frame style, the full colour and lens lists, and what to weigh against the price difference.

Ray-Ban Meta Zena vs Skyler at a glance

Here is how the Ray-Ban Meta Zena (Gen 3) and the Ray-Ban Meta Skyler (Gen 2) compare on the points the product listings cover.

Both prices are “from” prices. Each one is the lowest price among that model’s colour and lens combinations, and other combinations can cost more, so check the product page for the exact pair you want.

Frame style: bold cat eye or a softer look

Meta describes the Zena as a “bold cat eye style”, and that is the reason to buy it. If you want the frame shape to be the first thing people notice, the Zena in Shiny Black or Havana is the stronger statement of the two models.

The Skyler is described as “inspired by an era of jet-set style”. Its softer side comes from the colour list. Shiny Transparent Peach, Shiny Chalky Gray and Shiny Mystic Violet are all lighter than a black or tortoise-style frame, and each is paired with a Transitions lens in a matching tone.

There is a middle route. The Zena in Milky Grey Lilac with Transitions Copper lenses keeps the cat eye shape in a paler colour, which suits you if you like the shape but find black too heavy.

Frame measurements are not part of our listing data. Compare the photos on both product pages side by side, and check the brand’s spec sheet for sizing before you order.

Colour and lens options: 6 versus 8

The Zena comes in 6 frame and lens combinations:

• Havana / Gradient Brown Lenses
• Milky Grey Lilac / Transitions Copper Lenses
• Shiny Black / Clear Lenses
• Shiny Black / Polarized Green Lenses
• Shiny Black / Transitions Graphite Green Lenses
• Shiny Black / Grey Lenses

The Skyler comes in 8:

• Shiny Black / Green Lenses
• Shiny Black / Polarized Gradient Graphite Lenses
• Shiny Mystic Violet / Clear to Amethyst Transitions Lenses
• Shiny Chalky Gray / Clear to Sapphire Transitions Lenses
• Shiny Black / Clear to Graphite Green Transitions Lenses
• Shiny Black / Clear Lenses
• Shiny Black / Clear to Amethyst Transitions Lenses
• Shiny Transparent Peach / Clear to Brown Transitions Lenses

The two extra combinations are only part of the difference. Five of the Skyler’s eight options use Transitions lenses, and the names spell out the change, for example Clear to Sapphire. The Zena has two Transitions options, Copper and Graphite Green.

The Zena leans more towards fixed sun tints. Gradient Brown, Grey and Polarized Green are all there, while the Skyler has Green and Polarized Gradient Graphite. Each model has exactly one polarized option, and in both cases it sits on the Shiny Black frame.

If you want clear lenses, both models offer Shiny Black with Clear Lenses. Both also offer Shiny Black with a Graphite Green Transitions lens, so on those two combinations your choice comes down to frame shape, generation and price.

What Gen 3 and Gen 2 have in common

The two listings describe the same core uses. You use your voice to get answers from Meta AI, capture memories, make calls, send messages, listen to music and livestream.

Both pairs need the Meta AI app on a compatible phone, a Meta account and internet access. AI and voice features depend on your country and language, so confirm what is supported where you live before you order.

Our product data does not list the hardware differences between Gen 3 and Gen 2. If you are paying more for the Zena because of the generation and not the frame, read the specs on each product page or the brand’s spec sheet first.

Price and how ordering works

The Zena starts from RM2,019 and the Skyler from RM1,729. For reference, on 10 November 2026 the Meta Store USA listed the Zena at USD 449 to USD 529 and the Skyler at USD 379 to USD 459, depending on the combination. A US list price does not get the glasses to your door, so when you compare, factor in currency conversion, delivery and how a return would work from where you live.

Both models are preorders. We buy your pair new from the US brand store after you order, and estimated delivery is 30 calendar days.

You can pay in full. Where the product page offers it, you can pay a 50% deposit now and the balance later, and checkout shows when the balance is due for your country.

Delivery is free within Peninsular Malaysia. Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan pay RM21 per item, or nothing on orders over RM 2,200. Buyers in every other country see their fee at checkout, and the shipping fees page has the details.

Returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery. A change-of-mind return must be in new condition, carries a 10% restocking fee, and the cost of shipping it back to the seller is deducted from your refund. Report any damage with photos as soon as the parcel arrives. Exchanges are only for items that arrive damaged, so choose your colour carefully, and read the refund and returns page for full terms. All Meta glasses we list are on the Meta brand page.

If neither frame is quite right

A third option sits between the two on price. The Meta Glasses LISA Edition, from RM1,779, is a limited edition with a signature star detail on the temple. It comes in two styles: Adventurer in Moonlit Sky / Blush and Capri in Eclipse / Grey.

The listing gives it open-ear audio, a built-in camera and hands-free Meta AI, with standard and low bridge fits, and it is prescription-ready. The same app, account and internet requirements apply.

If you want a Zena or Skyler colour that is not listed, ask us to buy it from a US store through the buy for me service.
