Smart glasses that actually work outside

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've really enjoyed using the Oakley Meta Vanguard glasses, especially for outdoor walks and winter activities. They feel like solid performance sunglasses first, with the tech built in in a way that doesn't get in the way. The frame is sleek and stylish and you wouldn't immediately know they're full of high tech capabilities. The Prizm 24K lenses are great, particularly in winter. Glare off snow can be intense, and these make everything look clearer and more comfortable without feeling too dark. I've worn them skiing and during cold, windy walks, and visibility has stayed sharp the whole time. The wide field of view also helps when you're moving fast and want to stay aware of what's around you. The hands-free camera is one of my favorite features. It's really nice to be able to capture moments on the slopes or during walks with the fam without pulling out a phone or stopping what you're doing. The Meta AI features pair easily with Garmin and Strava and make it simple to check stats during or after a workout. I was also pleasantly surprised by the audio quality. Even in windy conditions, I could still hear prompts clearly, and the glasses stayed comfortable and secure. They've handled sweat, snow, and cold weather without any issues. Overall, these have made my outdoor time and skiing activities more enjoyable and convenient. If you like staying active year-round and want smart features that actually feel useful, these are a great option.

Smart and Sporty premium glasses.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I e got this Oakley Meta Vanguard glasses for my honest review. I really enjoyed testing it last month. They just look and feels lite a normal Oakley glasses not that much heavier. Sporty look and quality lenses. The technology included in this glasses just amazes me. I connected it with my Garmin watches. It helps track and analyze activities. The video and photo quality is exceptional. The hands free technology allows you to start videotaping “on the go” from you point of view. The speakers included surprised me the most. The sound is soo good and person even close to me can not hear a thing. So I can make a calls or listen to podcasts during my walk/run and still be aware what is going on around me. Meta ai comes handy. I used it to recognize what type of plants I was looking at. There are a couple downsize for these glasses first is the price which is definitely down the height side. But remember, it’s not the regular glasses. It’s the whole top notch technology comes with it too. And also some privacy concerns. Overall, if you are staying active and use Garmin I would recommend it.

Easy set up and amazing video quality!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was surprised by how comfortable and lightweight these are, even when wearing them on runs. The set up was quick and easy, and hands-free recording feels really natural. Video quality is clear and smooth, and the Prizm lens makes colors look more vibrant and sharp without being too dark. Overall, they feel practical while designed and easy to use for capturing moments on the go.

Surprisingly useful

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These were surprisingly useful. I've been using these while biking. Sunglasses wise, they are very high quality lenses, same as other Oakley lenses. I have no warping or glare when wearing these, and the yellow tint is great for reducing sun but keeping definition. I was able to wear these in shade and still able to see. It also completely block all wind, as well, if not better than goggles. The camera on this is surprisingly good. It's about the same as the front camera on most smartphones. I use it more than expected, since I can just reach up and snap a quick picture while biking. The video/timelapse is really cool, it's not a true video so it takes up less room. But it does make it look like you're going super fast. The audio is also really good and it syncs easily with my music apps. However. I do have a few cons. The first is that there isn't a way to adjust the ear height, I have to stick these about a centimeter above my ears. And these are heavier than average because of all the extra hardware, so they slide down and fold down the tops of my ears. When I have my bike helmet on, I can just stick the ear loop into the helmet and they stay up. But it's not ideal and isn't the most comfortable. Also, I really dislike that the meta app is 70% AI generation, and only 30% glasses functionally. It feels like there are so many more things that the glasses could do.

Excellent clarity and stay-put fit—worth it if per

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] They are light weight and secure and built for real movement. They fit in snug without squeezing and have ventilation so they don’t get sweaty. They adjust easily! They are super valued for the price

Impressive photos/videos and audio quality

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Shockingly high quality videos, audio, and photos! These glasses are lightweight, sit well and comfortable on my nose and don’t bounce around at all (nor are they too tight). No adjustment required for me, they fit perfectly right outside the box. Once you get a hang of how to control buttons/touch screen it’s super intuitive to use (similar to getting used to using a pair of AirPods). So far I’ve only used this for cycling but would also be great for snow sports and even trail runs. I’m a petit female so they do look a little big on me but they feel super comfortable and also provide excellent sun protection. Even though they are lightweight they seem sturdy and durable. The audio is surprisingly great and allows me to listen to music without wearing headphones and without everyone hearing what I’m listening to (magic!). These would make a super fun gift for a cycling or other sports enthusiast or a special gift for yourself. Charge holds very well and is easy to recharge in case.

Full of Features and Adventure in One

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The sound and picture quality is crystal clear. My new puppy (pictured, taken with glasses) is never still and it captures him perfectly. I love the centered camera so it gives you an actual point of view image or video result. The frames are sturdy and the voice commands are super responsive. I love that everything downloads right to my phone. The battery life is decent and super easy to charge. The AI feature is an added bonus! I'm buying a pair for my brother for his birthday next month because he loves them so much!

Audio is great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was a little on the fence if I would like these. They are a little larger than I like but i really like using them. I waited to write the recipe until I went on vacation and could really use the. The built in microphone am speakers worked really well and I didn’t have to have headphones in all the time. I also like the ability to just ask meta questions and get answers, they were mostly right. The camera takes decent pic and video. The glasses look like normal sunglasses.

Really fun and cool to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a cool pair of glasses! Definitely fun to use. My dad especially loves the music feature. It doesn’t always recognize him at a 100% rate, but it still works wonderfully. They are super stylish frames and fancy for a sporty look. Easy to use. We also have fun with the visual description of the surroundings. They’re great for outdoors becuase they are water proof as well! We hope to try these outdoors soon when the weather gets warmer.

Looks great, sounds amazing but the lag needs fixi

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the product for free from Influenster and Oakley in exchange for my honest review. I’ve been using the Oakley Meta Vanguard for a bit now, and it’s honestly a mixed bag but in a very fixable way. Let’s start with the issues: video calls are extremely laggy, which is disappointing for a product that’s supposed to feel seamless. Also, every time I try to export photos or videos, it asks for WiFi permission again, even though it’s already been granted. That part feels glitchy and slows everything down. Now the good stuff because there is a lot of it. The music feature is elite with surprisingly good sound quality, especially for workouts. I’ve been using it for running and workout recording, and that part is actually really convenient. The design is sleek and lightweight, and I’ve gotten compliments from so many people — it doesn’t look like typical smart glasses. The camera quality is also genuinely impressive. Overall, I love the concept and the experience when it works. If the software gets optimized, this could easily be a standout product.
