What was the problem with the Oakley Romeo?

On the last day of February, Oakley shipped 1 pair each to select stores. Like many first of its kind, the Romeo had its flaws.

The frame was also criticized for being too large for the average head and too heavy for prolonged wear.

Which is better the Romeo 2 or the original Romeo?

Appearance-wise, Romeo 2 is a vast improvement over the original in my opinion. I’ve come to like the half-rim styles from Oakley, and the square-ish lenses are much more modern than the ovals on Romeo. The little “fins” on the outside edges of the lenses are a neat little styling element.
