Unveiled at Meta Connect 2025, Oakley Meta Vanguard smart eyewear redefines what athletes can expect from wearable tech.

 

Priced at $499 and available on October 21, the glasses are designed for runners, cyclists, and adventurers seeking seamless performance both on and off the track.

 

A Seamless Design Built for Movement

With a unified front lens and a sleek aerodynamic shape, the Oakley Meta Vanguard eliminates visual clutter.

 

Unlike previous Meta glasses, which featured two corner cameras, this model introduces a single, integrated design.

 

Its 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera captures crisp, dynamic moments in 3K resolution, providing a cinematic perspective on every ride or sprint.

 

The curvature of the frame isn’t just aesthetic—it’s functional. Built to fit comfortably under helmets, the glasses balance protection, ventilation, and visibility without compromise.

 

An IP67 rating ensures resistance against dust, sweat, and water, letting athletes face any terrain or weather.

Power Meets Endurance

Endurance defines every athlete, and Oakley Meta Vanguard mirrors that spirit.

 

With up to nine hours of battery life and six hours of continuous music playback, these glasses keep pace with your longest sessions.

 

The charging case, compact yet powerful, adds 36 extra hours of use, turning long races or travel days into effortless experiences.

 

Smarter Sound and Sharper Focus

Meta engineered the most advanced open-ear speakers ever featured in its eyewear line.

 

Six decibels louder than the Oakley Meta HSTN, they deliver clarity even amid roaring winds or busy roads.

 

A five-microphone array filters ambient noise and wind, enhancing communication during calls or AI interactions.

 

From route updates to motivational playlists, every sound arrives clear, crisp, and immersive—without isolating you from your surroundings.

AI That Moves With You

That’s why Oakley Meta Vanguard integrates customizable AI prompts via the Meta AI app.

 

Athletes can program a button beneath the frame to instantly trigger specific tasks or stats.

 

These smart glasses pair effortlessly with Garmin devices and Strava, merging fitness data and creativity.

 

Cyclists can overlay performance metrics on captured videos, sharing their progress directly with online communities.

 

Craftsmanship Meets Color

As expected from Oakley, aesthetics are as deliberate as performance.
