Oakley Meta Vanguard: Details

The Oakley Meta Vanguard is positioned as a performance-focused take on smart glasses, aimed at athletes and endurance users rather than casual wear. The frames use Oakley’s Three-Point Fit system, include interchangeable nose pads for different bridge types, and are designed to work comfortably with cycling helmets and caps. With an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance, Oakley said the glasses are built to handle sweat, rain, and outdoor training conditions.

 

A major focus is fitness data and real-time feedback. Meta AI integrates with Garmin and other fitness apps, allowing users to check metrics such as heart rate, pace, and overall performance using voice commands. Oakley said the glasses can also activate a status LED in the user’s peripheral vision, letting them quickly see whether they are on target for metrics like heart rate or pace without breaking momentum or looking down at a phone or watch.

 

The Oakley Meta Vanguard also includes a hands-free action camera. The 12MP camera uses a 122-degree wide-angle lens and supports up to 3K video recording, along with slow motion, hyperlapse, and adjustable stabilisation. The company said this is aimed at athletes who want point-of-view footage for training review or sharing without stopping to operate a camera.

 

Open-ear speakers are claimed to be louder than earlier Oakley Meta models, including the HSTN, while a five-microphone array is designed to reduce wind noise during calls and voice interactions. Meta AI support on the Oakley Meta Vanguard includes Hindi language support, UPI Lite payments, and an optional celebrity voice featuring Deepika Padukone, adding more localised functionality.
