This will reiterate some of the positives and negatives with this mirror.
Pros:
* Not having anything poking off your handlebars, or helmet, or eyeglass frames
* Does not get wet in the rain. Even if you can barely see forward through your rain-soaked glasses, the mirror view is crystal clear.
* Consistency. Once positioned, the mirror does not need adjustment, so long as you're careful when cleaning. External mirrors usually get bumped out of alignment.
* Geek factor. Let's face it, most mirrors look a little goofy.
Cons:
* Initial placement. The mirror should be positioned right at the corner of your eye, not as pictured in the instructions. Possibly, you could put a dot on the magic spot on the outside of the lens to save time in future placements.
* Glasses compatibility. I imagine some glasses wrap around so much it would be difficult to get it to work, esp. for people with close-set eyes.
* Cleaning. You have to be careful cleaning the inside of the lens, so as not to displace the mirror.
* Claustrophobia. The mirror is so close to your eye, your eyelash may brush it. Mine does, but I don't mind.
* Changing glasses or lenses. Since it's a hassle to position the mirror, most will opt to get one of these mirrors for each lens or pair of glasses. Moving the mirror between lenses very much would use up the provided tape adhesive.
* Specific adhesive. The mirror comes with double-sided sticky tape, which provides a relatively weak bond. Different tape might adhere more strongly, but also might damage your lens. Depending on how much positioning you do, you might eventually run out of the tape.
* Field of view. The Take-a-Look and other glasses or helmet mirrors show more. A bit of head turning easily gets around the problem for me.
I anticipated that having a big dot in my field of view might be annoying, but it's really not. It's so close to the eye, it's just a blur. And whatever part of the view it blocks is easily revealed by an unconscious slight head turn.
Overall, my favorite mirror, despite the drawbacks, and I've tried several. I also tried the 3rd Eye version of this mirror. I like this one better because it has slightly more mirror area, so works with more glasses and has a larger field of view.
