Right, because it's impossible to do this with an iPhone?

You're right but it's more obvious with a phone. But just walking around in shades is not the same....
I ran the Berlin Marathon last Sunday. For such events I would like something like this. 10 seconds every mile would make a nice video in the end.
Cameras are part of the game. There is a million spectators with smartphones along the track and there are live TV broadcasts all over the world. No one would care for that little thing.
And no, I would not carry a smartphone. No pockets to carry it safely. Too difficult to use the touchscreen while running.

Half of the commenters seems to think that this is for everyday use.
The other half understands this is for partygoers and festivals. Perfect for events and not a single person will care because everyone throws themselves into the picture if they see a camera, phone, drone or gopro user. Everyone wants to be in the afterparty video.
If you see a 40+ male walking around the kids section at walmart with this, just go and slap them off his face. You won't see that though..

Why are the cameras so big in this era of tiny smartphone camera modules?
Because they're meant as a toy. They're supposed to be fun, silly and most of all disarming.
And they're meant to be noticed. So they're the last thing somebody is going to wear to take clandestine photos. They're also sunglasses, so not exactly meant for indoor wear either, though I expect you'll see a few at parties.
Chick repellent? I don't think so. His fiancee is a Victoria's Secret model:

I think something a little more sports oriented would suit you better, this just looks like a Miley Cyrus fever-dream.
Maybe it's a good idea, but it's a poor execution.

That's good, when she's around, nobody will look at his ridiculous glasses.
Obivously not exactly this product, but something similar with better quality, more optimized. For sports it must be duarble, lightweight and waterproof and it shpuld not fall down all the time even when jumping etc. There are also safety considerations. This thing is close to your eyes in case of an accidant.
And yes, I don't want to look like an idiot using it.

Shocked how 90% of the comments in here are taking shots at this guy getting a model, or how bad an idea it is. I thought the Apple Watch complaints were bad...
