Apple says the Vision's device weight is 600–650 grams and Meta says its Quest 3 is 515 grams. The Vision is between 85-135 grams heavier despite there not being a battery on the part that you wear.

Anecdotally and in my experience, there have been many complaints about fatigue for the Quest, and I wonder if Apple will be able to get away with more premium materials in the future versions. It seems like there will be a big tradeoff between adoption and the materials used.

Vision isn't out, but I am curious what V2 looks like and/or a version that optimizes to comfort.

The additional weight comes from the front display.

The reports regarding fatigue are consistently related to users wearing only the band, when they add the additional strap that goes directly over the head it's fine. Typical Apple leading with form over function. It ships with the additional strap at least so that should alleviate it for most people. Quest 3 has a similar additional band which helps as well.

I don’t know why people think an oled display is heavy. There’s a ton of other heavier components to the point where that front display is likely insignificant.

Things like active cooling, multiple camera arrays, motorized IPD adjustment.

I bet when iFixIt does a tear down, the front display will be shown to be negligible.

The Quest Pro is heavier than the Vision Pro. Maybe they’ll all get lighter.
