Meta chief Mark Zuckerberg launched a bunch of new smart glasses at the company’s Meta Connect event. And while everyone’s eyes were glued to the Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses with the built-in display, it was the Meta Vanguard I was most excited about.
A sportier version of Meta’s Ray-Ban glasses, the Oakley Meta Vanguard are built for performance. They have a full wrap-around frame designed for runners and cyclists, with tougher IP67 water resistance, louder speakers and improved wind protection. Most interestingly, you can connect the glasses with Garmin devices to hear live workout stats such as heart rate or pace through the built-in speakers. Plus, you can sync them with Strava to overlay your activity data on recorded clips after a session.
