A comment on the photchromatic aspect of these lenses, it is very slight and not comparable to standard rx transition lenses. The blue mirror mineral glass version for example has these stats:
25% transmittance lightened lens - 16% transmittance darkened lens
89% blue light blocked lightened lens -93% blue light blocked darkened lens
So even if it isn't triggering or the effect has weakened with use they are still perfectly good sunglasses. You can get the stats and see the tint simulator on their website https://www.serengeti-eyewear.com/en-us/uv-solar-lens/555nm-blue
The blue mirror is a dark amber/bronze/light brown tint imo which the manufacturer describes as "555 nanometers marks the center of light’s visible color spectrum, right on the border of yellow and green." There is also a very light AR coating on the inner side of their mineral glass lenses.

just to throw it out there, but i have this technology in my prescription eyeglasses and they dont darken while driving. supposedly car windows block UV from getting through and thats what triggers the reaction in lenses.

So the lenses in one pair seem to be gray/green, but what ab the other? Says mirror blue, but that’s what others see.... what does the wearer see??? MD almost never states this and it’s a really important feature of sunglasses

jjdgA little late but they are both "555 nanometers marks the center of light’s visible color spectrum, right on the border of yellow and green" the difference is the mirror color (slight silver versus blue) and light transmission ratings

Mine arrived today, but I ordered two pair, and only one in the box. Anyone else have issues like this? As far as the glasses go, they are nice. I like the color and they seem to brighten things up a bit. Very clear and sharp vision. I have not noticed the photochromic changing yet, but just unboxed the one pair I was sent. The frames seem to be really good quality.

baxterday1Just wanted to follow up, I still love the sunglasses, not sure if they are changing, but I will give it more time. They do have a manufacturer warranty. I also contacted Massdrop about my missing pair, they are sending me my second pair now. This is the first time anything like this has happened to me and I have purchased many things from Massdrop. Their customer service seems to be top notch. I have and will continue to recommend them to my friends and family.

Those glasses are not going to last you a long time. The reason for me saying this is because the photochromic lenses won't last for very long (saying this as a chmical engineering who read about the technology)
I cancelled my order as a result.

Okay, I googled it and the consensus for transition lenses appears to be about 3 years. I guess it depends how long you plan to use the same sunglasses. In my case I find most break before the three year mark. Oakleys seem especially fragile or maybe I've just had bad luck.

DeviltoothMight be the case for you, but I seem to hold on to sunglasses for around 5 years, and the number increases as I get older, so I don't see myself buying those.
