The majority here in the comments seem to be laggards (as I am admittedly). Nonetheless, I'm interested how it evolves.
So, what exactly do you use it for (what is the use case that a company buys a google glass for his employees)?
Is it a technical need, a geek culture in your company, or cocooning tactic?
Cheers

Ok, interesting. Thanks for sharing your application/use case with us.
The private part is geek/fun.
The professional part seems research at the current point. I wonder how much "stress" the eyes/brain have with the permanent exposure to google glass. I have zero experience with that and no clue how that feels, e.g. haveing google glass on for a full working day. I wonder how much ergonomic this is (tired eyes that fail to focus in the evening, dried out eyes since lid movement is disturbed (i.e. due to constant "staring"), headache, ...?). Maybe you tell use sometime in an article on CP 
Cheers

Granted, even a cell phone is really only a convenience, and I did without one for quite a while. Yet it does help solve the problem of my wife and I having to determine who will pick the kid up from school.

Does it count if I first buy smartglasses and smartwatch and then I donate these items to charity or cancer reserach or whatever?
Veni, vidi, vici.

Because, I don't know if you intended or not to include the smart goggles into the equation?
I have a basic set of Transcend GPS goggles with Recon-Instruments HUD from a few years back, and looking to upgrade to the newer versions.

I bought one of the first iPads and not one person noticed it. After 9 months it died. Complete waste of money.

Now, now. There's no need to blame him for it, even though he is to blame! Without him the iPad may never have become as widespread a problem!

Somebody will someday realize that people don't want to be turned into cyborgs. I find the idea of wandering around continuously plugged into Google an abhorrent idea, smartphones are annoying enough as it is.

Smartwatches have been out for a little over 10 years (having some obscurity with Nokia here) and I, personally, don't think it's a good idea to own something that can be snatched off your wrist at any given time. (There's a very high crime rate here, so I wouldn't take my risks at all with one in the first place)
Smartglasses unfortunately leave me very weary of others' privacy, which I respect in due regards. I don't wear glasses, either, so I don't see a use for it.
