The Oakley Vanguard glasses are a smart glasses product from Meta that offers various features for outdoor enthusiasts, including:

1. Hyperlapse and slow-motion video recording
2. Integration with Garmin watches and Strava apps
3. Enhanced camera capabilities, including ultra-wide-angle shots and automatic stabilization
4. Longer battery life compared to other similar products

However, the product has some limitations, such as:

1. High price point of $499
2. Niche market appeal, which may limit its appeal to a wider audience
3. Limited availability of third-party app support

Overall, the Oakley Vanguard glasses are suitable for dedicated outdoor enthusiasts who want to capture high-quality footage and track their performance during activities like cycling, running, hiking, or snowboarding.

If you're considering purchasing these glasses, it's essential to weigh the benefits against the costs and consider whether they align with your specific needs and preferences.
 
man I'm all about trying out new tech but $499 is kinda steep for me 🤑 especially when there are other great options out there. also gotta say I love the idea of the ultra-wide-angle shots but sometimes I feel like it's just a gimmick, you know? and yeah, being limited to just outdoor enthusiasts might make it hard to get more people on board. still, if you're into that sorta thing and want high-quality footage, I guess they're a solid choice 💯
 
Wow 🤯! I think the Oakley Vanguard glasses are so cool ! They look super comfy and would be perfect for capturing those sick snowboarding or hiking vids . The fact that they can record hyperlapse vids is insane ! I'm definitely interested in trying them out, but $499 is a bit steep, even for an avid outdoorsy person like me 😅. Still, if you're into the outdoor scene and want high-quality footage, these might be the way to go 💻!
 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around smart glasses, you know? I mean, who needs to talk to their glasses? But, if you're into that whole "capturing life" vibe like the Oakley Vanguard is all about, I guess it's a solid option. The $499 price tag is kinda steep for me though, I'd rather spend my cash on actual outdoor gear. And what's with the lack of third-party app support? That's just gonna limit the functionality. Still, if you're into this whole "adventure" thing and want to document it in 4K, these might be worth a shot. 🤔‍♂️
 
🤔 gotta say, 499 bucks is a bit steep for me... i mean, yeah its got some sick features but if u r just gonna use it for casual outdoor stuff, u can get a decent action cam 4 the price of these glasses lol. also, why no more affordable options? 🤑
 
I gotta say, $499 is a bit steep for me 😅 I mean, I love capturing vids of my outdoor adventures, but I also wanna be able to afford avocado toast 🥑. For those who are super into sports or just want the best gear, these might be worth it. But if you're like me and just wanna capture some sick vids without breaking the bank, maybe look elsewhere? 🤔
 
I think Meta has struck gold with the Oakley Vanguard smart glasses 🤩, but perhaps not in a way that will resonate with the masses just yet 🤑. The features are definitely on point – I mean, who wouldn't want to capture stunning hyperlapse footage or track their Strava runs with ease? 👍 However, at $499, it's hard not to feel like you're being charged an arm and a leg for something that could be considered a luxury item 💸. And let's be real, the target market is likely very specific – dedicated outdoor enthusiasts who are willing to shell out top dollar for a product that might appeal to a niche crowd 🌳.

That being said, if you're dead set on capturing those Instagram-worthy mountain biking shots or tracking your runs with precision, then I'd say go for it! Just make sure you've weighed the pros and cons and considered whether it's worth the investment 💰.
 
ugh 499 bucks is way too much for a pair of specs lol 🤦‍♂️ what's next gonna be a robot that costs more than a house ? 🤖💸 also these glasses are only for outdoor enthusiasts which means like 1% of the population lol what about the rest of us who just wanna capture some vlog content or take selfies 📸👀
 
Honestly, I'm a bit skeptical about these Oakley Vanguard glasses 🤔... Don't get me wrong, the features do sound pretty cool, especially for outdoor enthusiasts who are always on the go 🏞️. The hyperlapse feature would be awesome for capturing those epic mountain climbs or marathons 💨.

But $499 is a pretty steep price tag, you know? I mean, that's like buying a decent camera lens or a high-end smartphone case 📸... And then there's the fact that it's only really appealing to a niche market, which might limit its appeal to a wider audience. Like, are there even enough avid outdoor enthusiasts out there to make this worth the investment? 🤷‍♀️

Plus, with limited third-party app support, I worry that users will be locked into Meta's ecosystem and missing out on more compatibility options 📊... But hey, if you're a die-hard outdoorsy person who wants the best gear for your sport or hobby, then maybe these glasses are worth checking out 🔍. Just don't expect to see me splurging on them anytime soon 💸
 
I gotta say, $499 is a bit steep for me, but if u wanna capture sick clips of urself shreddin' on ur mountain bike or crushin' a trail run, these glasses might be worth it 😎📸. I mean, the integration with Garmin and Strava apps is dope, that's for sure. And the camera capabilities are fire 🔥. But if u're just chillin' on the couch all day, maybe stick w/ ur smartphone 🤷‍♂️.
 
I gotta say, $499 is a pretty steep price tag for some specs that sound cool but not necessarily groundbreaking 🤑. I mean, who really needs slow-motion video recording on their glasses? For me, it's all about functionality over fancy features. But hey, if you're an avid outdoor enthusiast and want to capture sick footage of your adventures, I guess these glasses might be worth the investment 💸.

The integration with Garmin watches and Strava apps is a major plus, though – that's some serious tech synergy 📊. And let's be real, who doesn't love ultra-wide-angle shots? 😎 But for regular folks, I'd say there are plenty of other options out there that won't break the bank 🤷‍♂️.

Overall, it's all about knowing your needs and wants before pulling the trigger. If you're an outdoor enthusiast with a fat wallet, go for it! 👍
 
OMG, have you seen these Oakley Vanguard glasses from Meta ?? 🤯 They're like, SO cool! I mean, being able to record hyperlapse vids while you're out hiking or cycling is literally game-changing 💥 And the fact that they integrate with Garmin watches and Strava apps is a total win for athletes 🏋️‍♀️📊

But, gotta be real... $499 is kinda steep 🤑 I mean, I know it's a premium product and all, but still... not everyone's gonna wanna shell out that kinda cash 💸 Plus, the app support could be better, right? 🤔 Not sure about the wide appeal thing either... I think some people might find 'em too niche 😐

For me though? No cap, these glasses are a solid choice for outdoor enthusiasts who want high-quality footage and tracking features 📸🏞️ Worth checking out if you're into that sorta thing! 👍
 
I mean, can you believe how expensive these Oakley Vanguard smart glasses are? $499 is a bit steep for me, I was used to buying a new pair of shades every year without breaking the bank 🤑. And don't even get me started on the price of the batteries - like, who pays that much for a battery? 💸

I'm all about trying out new tech and stuff, but this one's got me wondering if it's worth the money. I mean, I've seen those old-school camcorders that could record sweet footage without all these fancy features 📹. And what's with the lack of third-party app support? It seems like Meta just wants to control everything from the start 👀.

I guess it's cool for those serious outdoor enthusiasts who need the high-quality footage and tracking features, but for regular folks like me, I'll stick to my old-school camera or phone 📸.
 
I'm not sure I'd spring for those Oakley Vanguard glasses just yet 🤑... Don't get me wrong, the features look super cool - who wouldn't want to capture sick slow-motion vids of their outdoor adventures? 😎 But $499 is a pretty steep price tag, especially considering how limited the third-party app support is. I mean, if I'm paying that much cash, I want to be able to get more out of it than just using a few pre-installed apps.

Plus, I've got friends who use Strava and Garmin stuff all the time, and it's always been super seamless - so why would these smart glasses need to integrate with them in the first place? Maybe they're trying to fill a specific niche that not many people are interested in? IDK, but for now, I'm gonna have to pass on those Oakley Vanguard glasses 🤔
 
I gotta say, $499 is a pretty sweet deal if you ask me 😊. I mean, who doesn't want to capture sick footage of their adventures and get all the stats from Garmin? Plus, it's not like there are tons of other options out there that can do everything these glasses can do. And let's be real, most people don't even use their phones for outdoor activities anyway, so why pay extra for a phone when you've got a pair of cool smart glasses? The only thing that bugs me is the limited app support, but I'm sure Meta will get it sorted out soon 🤔.
 
I don't know about other people but I think $499 is a bit steep for a pair of glasses 🤑. I mean, sure, they have some cool features like hyperlapse and integration with Garmin watches, but I'm not sure if it's worth breaking the bank over. My kid just got a new bike and I was thinking about getting him a GoPro to record his rides, that way he can capture the action without having to spend so much on fancy glasses 🤸‍♂️.
 
Ugh, I'm so sick of all these smart glass brands trying to one-up each other 🤯. $499 for a pair of shades that can do some okay video recording? No thanks 😒. And don't even get me started on the limited app support – it's like they're just catering to their own special club instead of making it accessible to everyone 👥.

And have you seen the Oakley Vanguard glasses in action? They look super clunky and uncomfortable 🤕. I mean, I'm all for functionality, but style is important too, right? These glasses need a serious redesign before they become mainstream-worthy 💁‍♀️.

For people who are actually going to use them for outdoor activities, I guess the features could be useful 🏞️. But for casual observers or anyone who wants to capture some decent footage on their phone, I'd just stick with my trusty old iPhone camera 📸.
 
I mean, can you blame them for wanting those Oakley Vanguard glasses? $499 is still steep, but if you're into that whole outdoor adventure thing, I guess it's worth it. I've got a friend who just got these for hiking and he loves the ultra-wide-angle shots. But honestly, I don't know how often you'd need all those features. For me, my phone camera is good enough for casual stuff. The integration with Garmin watches and Strava apps is pretty cool though! That's like having all your fitness tracking and recording in one convenient pair of glasses 🤯
