OAKLEY META SMART GLASSES: BUILT FOR SPEED, STYLE, AND THE FUTURE

The Oakley Meta Smart Glasses are not just another pair of connected eyewear — they’re the evolution of Oakley’s performance DNA, supercharged with Meta’s latest AI and camera tech. Designed for people who live fast, train hard, and expect their gear to keep up, these smart glasses are redefining what “wearable tech” looks and feels like.

🕶️ STYLE THAT STAYS TRUE TO OAKLEY

Oakley didn’t compromise its iconic design DNA. Both the HSTN and Vanguard look like true Oakley eyewear — bold, performance-driven, and unmistakably premium. The Meta integration is subtle; there’s no awkward tech bulk, no flashing LEDs, and no “look at me” design flaws.

• HSTN keeps things clean and street-ready — perfect for daily use.
• Vanguard goes full throttle — wraparound lens, aggressive curves, built for high-motion environments.

These are smart glasses you can actually wear anywhere — from gym sessions to coffee runs.

🔋 REAL-WORLD PERFORMANCE

The Oakley Meta HSTN handles day-to-day use effortlessly — from calls and music to quick POV captures during your commute or hike. The Vanguard, meanwhile, was made for recording rides, runs, and action clips that look like professional first-person footage.

Battery life is strong enough for all-day use, and the charging case provides multiple full top-ups. The open-ear audio keeps you aware of your surroundings — a key safety edge for cyclists, skaters, or runners.

And the voice control? Surprisingly responsive. You can say, “Hey Meta, take a photo,” and it just does it — no fumbling with buttons or phones.

💬 REVIEWS AND IMPRESSIONS

• “Feels like wearing a GoPro disguised as Oakleys.” The Vanguard captures vivid action footage without the helmet-cam look.
• “Comfortable enough to wear all day.” Both models fit securely without pinching or sliding, even during sweat-heavy workouts.
