Mainstream press coverage of Omi dried up after its launch, so the honest hands-on accounts now live on YouTube. Here are five worth your time — about forty minutes in total, or ninety seconds if you only want the gist.
Nothing loads until you press play
These are still previews, not live players. YouTube isn't contacted, and no cookie is set, until you choose to watch — and when you do, we use the no-cookie player. It seemed the least we could do on a site about not being tracked.
Five reviews
Start at the top and stop when you've heard enough.
Ordered by how useful we found them, not by date. The first two are the ones to watch if you're watching only two.

I Tried The OMI… A Wearable ChatGPT Device!
Darren Yeo — Tech & Reviews·13 Nov 2025·12 min·11.8k views
The most complete account of actually living with one: unboxing through to what the transcripts look like after a few days. If you want a realistic picture of the thing rather than a features list, this is the one.
Tighter and more structured, with the clearest look at the phone app — how summaries are produced and what the conversation list actually looks like day to day. Good second watch after the one above.
OmiGPT Review: Wearable AI Assistant With ChatGPT Anywhere You Go!
J.Force Gaming·18 Jan 2026·12 min·1.2k views
The longest and most patient of the five. Small audience, but it takes its time on the assistant side — asking it things and showing the answers — rather than rushing to a verdict.
A vertical short. Enthusiastic rather than critical, and it won't tell you about the rough edges — but it's the fastest way to see what the device is and what wearing one looks like.
Checked 6 August 2026 — all five confirmed public and playable. Videos get taken down; if one won't start, the YouTube link beside it will tell you why. Some reviewers received devices free of charge, which is normal in this category and worth bearing in mind.

The written version, with the caveats.
Video reviews are enthusiastic by nature. Our round-up covers what people say after the first week — and why the price rise changes the conclusion. Or go straight to setting one up.
