Flexon WASHINGTON 600 vs. Similar Memory Metal Frames
If you're considering the Flexon WASHINGTON 600, you're likely drawn to the combination of professional styling and Flexon's proven memory metal technology. Here's how it compares to other popular Flexon frames in our collection.
WASHINGTON 600 vs. MELVILLE 600
Both frames belong to Flexon's 600 series and share the same memory metal construction and price range. The WASHINGTON 600 features a half-rim rectangle design that's ideal for professional settings and suits round or oval faces particularly well. The MELVILLE 600 offers an alternative shape within the same collection—if you like the 600 series technology but want to explore different styling, the MELVILLE is worth comparing side-by-side. Both are prescription-ready and offer the same durability and lightweight comfort.
WASHINGTON 600 vs. AUTOFLEX FRANK
The AUTOFLEX FRANK comes in at $108.31, making it a more budget-friendly option while still delivering Flexon's signature memory metal performance. The AUTOFLEX line is known for enhanced flexibility, which may appeal if you're particularly hard on your glasses or have active kids. The WASHINGTON 600's half-rim rectangle design tends to look more refined and professional, while the FRANK may offer a different frame shape. If price is a deciding factor and you're flexible on style, the FRANK is worth considering.
WASHINGTON 600 vs. E1122
The Flexon E1122 sits at the premium end ($121.60–$140.31) and represents a step up in the collection. It likely offers more advanced styling, additional color options, or enhanced features compared to the WASHINGTON 600. If you're willing to invest a bit more for a premium Flexon frame, the E1122 delivers the same memory metal durability with potentially more sophisticated design elements. The WASHINGTON 600 remains the better value for customers who want proven performance without paying for premium styling.
Our recommendation: The WASHINGTON 600 hits the sweet spot for most customers—it offers Flexon's proven memory metal technology, professional half-rim styling, and a competitive price at $116.31. Choose the MELVILLE 600 if you want to explore different shapes in the same series, the AUTOFLEX FRANK if budget is your priority, or the E1122 if you're looking for premium features and are willing to invest more.
