Love the fit of these. Great for hiking, climbing & other outdoor activities. Glasses fit securely in face. The centered lens makes framing & capturing photos and videos easy. The battery life is also great - I used it for almost 5hrs playing music and taking photos/videos and still had over 25% battery life remaining. It charges quick too - after 10 minutes in the cast, it was back up to 50% charge.
The only cons I have are that the camera only shoots in portrait mode & that it is not compatible with all Garmin watches (I have the Instinct 2 and because I can’t download an app onto it, I don’t get the benefit of having live updates/integration with my watch).

I love these sunglasses!
The Prizm lenses were amazing on our vacation. The camera took beautiful wide-angle pictures.
Meta worked great. I have more to learn about what it can do.
The sound with bone-conduction worked great and sounds really good.

Purchased these after owning the 1st gen ray bans which for me have proved very reliable. The mic, video, and lens swap made them a no brainer for my daily use.
These Oakley glasses are a bit heavier than my Ray-Bans. To be fair they are more full face glasses though. The mics do not work as well as my Ray-Ban Wayfarer’s. Sometimes I have to repeat myself several times. The touch panel on the side has a mind of its own sometimes it’s super sensitive other times it takes multiple taps just to pause my music. Overall I do like them they are just minor flaws. They have good wing block and were fun to use at the dunes.

Oakley Vanguard glasses are absolutely incredible! The fit is flawless, and they stand up to even the harshest rainy weather without a problem. The features are super intuitive and pair perfectly with the Meta AI app making the whole experience effortless and fun! Totally worth every cent!

These Oakley Meta glasses have surpassed my expectations. I no longer need a bone conduction headset, a separate camera and glasses. I know exactly what I’m capturing in video, pictures as well as the ability to import stats from Strava. Oakley is the leader in glasses and continue to expand the lead with these glasses.

The Oakley Meta sunglasses exceeded my expectations. They’re lightweight, super comfortable, and the lens clarity is amazing. The fit is perfect and they look great with any outfit. Definitely worth the purchase—highly recommend!

I almost returned these bcause the battery life is nowhere close to 9 hours. I get 3 hours max if i dont take video, listen to music at low volume, and if i don’t summon Meta assistant. My road rides are much longer than 3 hours, so ill just use them on short rides. They would be 5 stars if they had better battery life.

Have had a couple of Bose including the tempo and shockz road. These ones are truly my favourite for fit and audio. I don’t really use the camera so can’t comment on it too much but the few pics I take have been good although if you wear a hat then the brim will be seen at the top of all pictures.

The glasses do what they are supposed to do in regard to Garmin integration and video output. My only complaint is that the interior notification light does not work as advertised. That light is supposed to shine red whenever you ride outside of the interval parameters you've sent during a Garmin workout. The light, unfortunately, does not do what it is supposed to do.
Like I said, the glasses work as advertised, other than my one complaint.

I wnjoyed the unboxing exproence. There was quite a lot to unpack when i recieveed my package. The lenses are great, used it for flight training. Since its non polarized, I was able to use my ipad without the screen disappearing. Additionally, I enjoyed the different video settings on the glasses. Sometimes the 3k resolution is too crispy, the video wuslity starts to get buggy. Sound quality is surprisingly pretty good but don’t put it on full volume because it distorts the sound quality. The battery life is a bame chnager. That extra hour actually makes a difference.

These glasses are a must-have for active lifestyles! The camera quality is sharp and crystal clear. The 3k mode really showcases what I am seeing in great detail. The voice commands are ok, but I used the button more often. The open-ear audio is perfect for music and calls without blocking outside sounds.
Battery life is solid, and the fast-charging case is super convenient. At my last Spartan Race, the glasses lasted for about 4 hours. Not ideal for really long runs; my race was about 14 miles and took me 6.5 hrs to complete, but if I had the case with me, I could have charged them up between the obstacle challenges (which was the main reason for recording during this race). However, I didn't bring it because it was too bulky for my water vest. One thing I learned you can save on battery usage is to keep the glasses disconnected from your phone and disabling voice commands. However, disconnecting from your phone means that the glasses cannot offload the photos and videos, so the internal storage may fill up fast if you are recording in 3k for a max of 3 mins each time.
Also, while taking a photo to see what my experience would look like while wearing my hat, the front brim of the hat covered some of the photo. I decided to wear my hat backwards so as not to get it in the shot. Great fit for running, OCR, cycling, and hiking. Worth every penny!
Pros:
Excellent photo and video quality
Comfortable, secure fit for sports
Clear open-ear audio for music and calls
Fast-charging case with long battery life
Hands-free voice commands
Cons:
No expandable storage/SD card slot
No landscape photo mode
Cannot wear a hat with these glasses, or you will see the brim in the video/photo.
Bulky charging case
Low-light performance could improve
