I paid for overnight next day and it took 5 days to get the glasses that were a gift for Father’s Day and the worst part is I was told I would get my or part money back for shipping and got nothing it should have been free since I waited a week
I love the look and fit, but I can't keep one of the lenses from popping out of the frame. It arrived in the package with one lens out of the frame. Don't know how to remedy the problem.
I had a very satisfying experience with my purchase .Everything went smoothly and exceptionally quickly processed and delivered expediently to my satisfaction. I am very pleased with my product choice and I love my new sunglasses .All in all very satisfied and definitely recommend. I certainly will be returning for renewal and new purchases.
My hubby received a lot of compliments... they were really nice

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the Armani Exchange 2012S sunglasses prescription-ready?
Yes, the Armani Exchange 2012S frames are fully prescription-ready. The full-rim metal construction accepts prescription lenses including single-vision, progressive, and bifocal options. Our experienced opticians can fit these frames with your custom prescription lenses while maintaining the original style and UV protection.
What is the lens size and fit of the AX2012S model?
The Armani Exchange 2012S features 62mm lenses with a 14mm bridge and 125mm temples, providing a medium to large fit. The pilot shape offers generous coverage, and customers consistently report the lightweight metal frame fits comfortably for extended wear. The double bridge design distributes weight evenly across the nose.
Do these sunglasses offer UV protection?
Yes, all Armani Exchange 2012S lens options provide 100% UVA and UVB protection. Whether you choose the gradient, solid, or polarized lenses, your eyes are fully protected from harmful ultraviolet radiation. The lenses are also scratch-resistant and coated for enhanced durability.
What's the difference between polarized and gradient lenses for these frames?
Polarized lenses reduce glare from reflective surfaces like water and pavement, ideal for driving and outdoor activities. Gradient lenses transition from darker at the top to lighter at the bottom, perfect for blocking overhead sun while maintaining visibility below. Both options offer full UV protection, so choose based on your primary use.
How durable are the Armani Exchange 2012S frames?
The AX2012S is constructed from stainless steel metal, providing excellent durability for daily wear. Customer reviews frequently mention these frames lasting several years with everyday use. The metal construction is sturdy yet lightweight, and the temples feature comfortable rubber tips that maintain their grip over time.
Are these sunglasses suitable for driving?
Yes, the Armani Exchange 2012S is excellent for driving. The 62mm pilot-shaped lenses provide wide coverage to block peripheral glare, and the 100% UV protection shields your eyes during long drives. The polarized option is particularly effective at reducing road glare, while gradient lenses help with overhead sun without darkening your dashboard view.
