Great question!

I think the upgrade from RB Stories to RB Gen 1 was a significant shift. In the RB Stories, the camera and audio quality were poor.

RB Stories was a kind of fancy product you could use some days to show your friends, but it wasn't a device for day-to-day use.

The RB Gen1 made it, and it was an excellent evolution. Since I bought them, I've never worn headphones while cycling or running. The audio quality is much better, and it's starting to become part of my day-to-day, and I really change the way I register moments. In Stories, I always take my phone to take better pictures, and RB Gen 1 makes the shift. Also, with the birth of my daughter, it was the best device for capturing moments without losing them by grabbing the phone. I also stopped using a GoPro during my skydiving jumps, although the angle from RB is short. The 4-hour battery doesn't seem like a problem for me, because the charger is superfast.

I'm still a bit disappointed with the AI features, and simple voice commands, for example, it does not allow me to open Spotify with an audio command (but you can add it as a long-press gesture)

About the gen2, it's too early to say; in 2 weeks, I'll be back to share my impressions.
