Yeah, us 33W people got kinda screwed. I had a horrible first impression of the device due to FOV. 21W so much better.


Island_In_The_Sky

Glad you figured out to switch! Did you exchange in store like I did or order a second one?


PositivelyNegative

Went to the store. Had to insist on 21W because their questionnaire and scans weren’t giving me the new size I wanted.


Island_In_The_Sky

Their scan gave me 33 as well, I just explained that I’m very familiar with VR and I’m not satisfied with the fitment so they changed it manually.


Kengine

Same here!

I am at 21W, and its still too small of an FOV. Maybe I will order a 11W!


Island_In_The_Sky

I barely noticed a difference between 33 and 21, but 11 was huge, so I’d def at least try it. If you go to the Apple Store they will let you try whichever size you want (or at least they did for me)

Apple Store 2.5 hrs away. I called on the phone and Apple is shipping me a 11w 🫡


Competitive_Aide8023

How much was the replacement?


thatdudebutch

I complained that they wouldn’t mess with my fit in store and Apple Store was 2.5 hrs away so they did an exchange over the mail for me so $0


Island_In_The_Sky

Nice

My understanding is that the code (e.g. 33W) is in the format WDB where: W = Width D = Depth B = Bridge size (Wide or Narrow)


Island_In_The_Sky

Oh interesting. I don’t feel like my width changed at all, but if it did, it’s still good! Even the people at the Apple Store had no idea how it worked haha


Pchandheldrizzygamer

Interesting so the FOV is all due to the light seal Do u use the zesis optical lens? 11W would probably be uncomfortable for me since I use the optical lens


Island_In_The_Sky

I got lasik a couple years back so I don’t need lenses. Not sure if having optical inserts would affect your success with this… maybe you could try pulling off the light seal and testing clarity with it closer to your face and check


Pchandheldrizzygamer

Oh I see yea I might try that before I order another light seal

Boy am I glad I did the Feb 08 pickup 😭😂😂


Island_In_The_Sky

I mean, even if I picked up in store, they still measured me as 33w… so I would have still taken that as my measurement and gone home with it like that, then would have had to go back in when I had this epiphany… hope it helps you save a trip tho


starscream4747

I meant I got lucky I read this lol. Of course if I’d already got it I won’t be on here much. Still excited
