Oakley Meta Vanguard are the smart glasses athletes might actually want

The article discusses the new Oakley Meta Vanguard smart glasses, which are aimed at serious athletes. The key points are: - The $499 glasses feature Oakley's wraparound frames and swappable lenses, with the camera placed in the center of the frames to avoid interference from hats or helmets. - The camera has a wider 122-degree angle lens and improved video stabilization, with dedicated modes for slow motion and hyperlapse videos. - Battery life has been improved to 6 hours of continuous music playback and 9 hours of mixed use, with the charging case providing an additional 36 hours. - The open-ear speakers are 6 decibels louder than previous models, and the glasses are water-resistant with an IP67 rating. - The glasses feature a customizable "action button" that can be programmed to perform various functions, and they integrate with Strava and Garmin for fitness tracking. - While the large, wraparound design may be polarizing for daily use, the Vanguard glasses could be a suitable replacement for Oakley ski goggles for athletes.
