>It's awkward to pull out a phone and start taking video when you're in a club

From my perspective, that's a feature not a problem. It's obvious what you're doing, and of you try to photograph something really inappropriate, I can always slap the phone out of your hand. With snapchat (or google glass) style specs, I essentially need to attack your face to stop you filming, a far more aggressive action. I'd love to be able to bank on people knowing when not to film, but theres always one shitbag at every emergancy callout trying to get a really gnarly shot of someone elses broken arm so they can get dank internet points from their friends.

The lenses are so wide it'll be really hard to get anything other than shots of large things close up.

You're still limited by physics, they will have horrible (borderline useless) low-light performance and limited resolution.
