Meta’s $59 smart glasses stand is missing the one thing you need to power it

• Meta has launched a $59 standalone Charging Stand alongside its expanded smart glasses lineup.
• The dock features a premium stainless steel body, silicone base, and comes in Natural Titanium or black finishes.
• Meta ships the $59 dock without a USB-C cable or wall adapter.

Meta is hoping to make its smart glasses a permanent feature of your face, but its latest accessory shows the company is also adopting some of Big Tech’s most annoying habits. Along with its now-expanded in-house smart glasses lineup, the company also just quietly rolled out an official standalone Charging Stand.

The company recently branched out from its exclusive Ray-Ban partnership, launching its own self-branded Meta Glasses lineup — including the new $299 Fury and Adventurer models — on top of its existing eyewear portfolio. Unlike traditional smart glasses that are charged by placing them in a case, this new dock treats them more like a smartwatch.
