I've always liked the P3 ... and just about everyone makes them covering all price points. Warby Parker, Anglo American, Oliver Peoples, Lindberg, more.

I only wear glasses for reading and using a computer.
Computer glasses: Avalon eyewear quite inexpensive.
Reading glasses: Persol folding model 2621 now considered vintage.
Expensive

Depends on your price range/availability but I like Nine Eyewear and just got a pair from Monoqool which are great. ProDesign from denmark are also solid.

What’s your thoughts on Lindberg spirit basic’s? The wire frames.

I’ve been wearing Lindberg frames for the past 12 years and I’m a fan. I don’t care so much for the Spirit line, but some of the others I am. They are well designed and well made.

I read a lot of reviews online saying they break rather easily which I’m sceptical about.

I've also had many Lindberg frames and like them a lot. They have their own style and they super light and comfortable, and no visible branding. My current ones are from the N.O.W range.

people who say that likely abuse them. I’ve never had issues with mine.

With some of the frameless models, the hole is drilled into the lens and the end piece attached directly there. If dropped or mishandled, the lens can break in that area, but not the frames.

When I buy something, it’s because I love the product hence I will do my best to look after it. I’m not they type to abuse it. I ask since the frame is very thin so I’m worried about it snapping, especially at the hinges.
