  "account": "I recently had the chance to wear the L Atitude 52°N smart glasses for a week on vacation, and I learned quite a bit about the rugged side of Santorini. These bold, Euro-designed glasses are aimed at adventure seekers and come equipped with AI features like Goya AI, an AI Tour Guide, and Live Translation. The glasses retail for $465, which converts to about £345, and currently only available in the US and EU. They come with a 12-month complimentary trial of all AI features upon purchase, but the cost of the subscription plan after that has yet to be confirmed. While the design and durability are impressive, the heavy frames and hefty price tag may make them a tough sell for some.",
  "summary": "The L’Atitude 52°N are a promising debut from this new player in the smartwatch game, but they’re not without their issues.",
