I'm sure it's good enough with that resolution and other high tech stuff. But can you work in it for extended periods of time? I never wear wristwatches or smart watches unless I have to (hiking, running etc) because I dislike any trinkets that touch the skin 24/7, regardless of the material. This thing is almost like a diving mask, just not airtight. How about wearing it several hours straight?

People ski and snowboard for multiple days at a time. And the mask is typically not the limiting factor. And most people can wear glasses, wedding rings and watches all day without issue.

  Weight placed on the face makes a qualitative difference. More weight means bigger straps and more pressure against the face to keep it there. If the Apple vision is light enough then it might not be an issue, but the size of the strap they're using hints that it's much more significant than most everyday wearable objects.

    * Oakley Flight Deck Ski Goggles = 370g * Quest 2 = 503g Apple's headset has no battery and they are pretty good with weight management so likely to be on par with a pair of ski goggles. Which again people typically wear for many days at a time.

      It’s not a completely valid comparison - the ski goggles are much closer to your face so have less of a moment on your neck. While the vision pro notionally looks like a set of goggles from the front, the side view shows that they’re just as big as every other VR headset. I don’t think we’re really going to know what they feel like until someone not from Apple puts them on their head!

      Idk if it's accurate to say ppl "typically" wear them for that long. Perhaps occasionally, but not without significant breaks I'd imagine

I regularly wear my Quest for 9-10 hours a day. It's plenty comfortable with the right equipment. I forget I'm wearing it after a while.

  Quest 2? You re some kind of world champion, most people get tired

    Tired of what? I don't understand. I have a very comfortable third-party head strap (BOBOVR M2) and cooling facial interface so I don't really notice that I'm even wearing a headset after a few minutes.

      Do you have any negative side effects? My brother has sinked many hours into it and it seems to have become a huge issue for him socially in the “real” world.

My guess is that if you dislike even wristwatches then something like this is just going to be a nonstarter right? For me, I'm comfortable with nearly 24/7 wear of watches and an hour or so in the quest on beatsaber - if they manage to improve image quality I think k that's a major factor for making it more comfortable. Beatsaber is fine, but I couldn't imagine doing anything that actually required reading or the like, that would hurt my eyes pretty fast
