"The Vanguard don't look like your standard smart glasses. It is clear Meta brought the technology but Oakley brought the design, fit and finish. The huge wraparound visor, arms and three-point fit system mimic the excellent Oakley Sephara sport glasses, which keeps their 66g frame glued to your head no matter how hard you shake them or how sweaty you get, and they fit under helmets."
"That makes them some of the most expensive screenless AI glasses you can get, starting at a not insignificant 499 (549/$499/A$789), sitting above the 399 Oakley Meta HSTN and 379 Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer. The glasses come with three sizes of silicone nose pads to adjust the fit, which is secure and well balanced.

Oakley Meta Vanguard are displayless AI glasses built for running, cycling and action sports. They combine an action camera, open-ear audio and fitness tracking with deep Garmin and Strava integration. Pricing starts at £499 (549/$499/A$789), placing them above other Meta-EssilorLuxottica glasses. The wraparound, 66g Oakley-derived frame uses a three-point fit and three silicone nose-pad sizes for a secure fit that works under helmets, but no prescription lens option is available. Controls include a power button, a large camera button and a configurable action button, and the design prioritizes sport-specific fit and stability.
