Fitness Integration That Actually Works
Meta AI syncs with Garmin and major fitness apps, letting athletes ask “Hey Meta, what’s my heart rate?” for real-time insights. The status LED lights up in peripheral vision, showing if you’re hitting heart rate or pace targets without breaking stride.
Performance summaries appear directly in the Meta AI app, tracking progress across marathon runs or century rides without phone fumbling.
Built for Extreme Conditions
The IP67 rating means these glasses survive dust storms and water submersion—crucial for trail runners and cyclists. The 12MP camera with 122° wide-angle lens captures POV footage at 3K resolution with slow motion, hyperlapse, and adjustable stabilization.
Battery life lasts an entire marathon (9 hours) or full-day ride (6 hours audio), with the charging case providing 36 additional hours. Quick charge delivers 50% in 20 minutes.
Audio Engineered for Speed
Open-ear speakers are six decibels louder than previous Oakley Meta HSTN models—essential when running beside traffic or cycling at 30mph in wind. The five-microphone array reduces wind noise during calls and Meta AI voice interactions.
India-Specific Features
Hindi language support allows users to control everything—photos, videos, calls, texts, media—in Hindi. Deepika Padukone’s AI voice joins Meta AI’s celebrity lineup, providing localized interactions for Indian athletes.
Design for Performance
Oakley’s Three-Point Fit system includes three replaceable nose pads (low- and high-bridge options) ensuring secure fit during intense activity. Wraparound PRIZM lens technology enhances contrast and amplifies colors while blocking sun, wind, and debris.
The frames work seamlessly with cycling helmets and hats—critical for serious athletes who refuse compromises.
Four Style Options
- Black with PRIZM 24K
- White with PRIZM Black
- Black with PRIZM Road
- White with PRIZM Sapphire
