Ray-Ban 3737CH vs. 3737: Is Chromance Worth It?
The most common question: should you choose the Chromance 3737CH or save money with the standard 3737? Both share the same rectangular double-bridge frame with PEEK temples, but the lens technology differs significantly.
The 3737CH features Chromance lenses—a six-layer anti-reflection treatment with high-contrast pigments that make colors pop and enhance visual detail. If you fish, boat, hike, or spend serious time outdoors, the difference is noticeable: sharper contrast, richer greens and blues, and superior glare elimination. The hydrophobic coating repels water and fingerprints. Starting at $209.56, it's the choice for performance-focused buyers.
The standard 3737 offers the same frame design with solid or gradient lenses at $215. It's a great option if you want the modern rectangular look without the premium lens technology, or if you primarily wear sunglasses for casual use rather than outdoor sports.
3737CH vs. 3671CH: Chromance Frame Styles
Both models feature Chromance technology, but the 3671CH ($175–$281) has a rectangular aviator shape with a single bridge, offering a more classic look. The 3737CH has a bolder double-bridge design and thicker PEEK temples for a sportier, more contemporary aesthetic. Choose the 3671CH for versatile everyday wear, or the 3737CH if you prefer a modern, utilitarian vibe.
Why Choose the 3737CH?
The RB3737CH is the best choice if you want cutting-edge lens technology in a modern frame. Chromance delivers measurably better contrast and color than standard polarized lenses, the PEEK temples are exceptionally durable and comfortable, and the frame is prescription-ready. For outdoor enthusiasts who value visual performance, it's a smart investment.
