Strava announces integration with the new Oakley Meta Vanguard AI glasses — but what does this mean for athletes?

Strava on your glasses?

Strava has today announced integration with the new Oakley Meta Vanguard Performance AI glasses. You can read what happened when Tom’s Guide’s Mike Prospero went hands-on with the Oakley Meta glasses here.

Strava says this will bring “each activity to life with rich overlays that turn captured footage into dynamic stories and share them with their community on Strava.” But what does this actually mean? Let’s dive in.
The new Oakley Meta glasses are designed with athletes in mind, and will connect to some of the best Garmin watches to show you real-time performance stats as you run and bike. You can also simply say, “hey Meta, how am I doing?” and the glasses will give you a summary of your activity to that point.

The glasses can take slo-mo video and have an IP67 water resistance. They start at $499/€549/£499 and will be available to purchase from October.

The glasses’ speakers and microphones have also been modified for the outdoors; the glasses have five microphones, and are designed to work even when you’re traveling at up to 30 MPH.
When connected with Strava, you can also share footage captured on the platform, with performance metrics, such as distance, average pace, elevation gain, and more.
Once the Strava activity is completed, users can select media from the workout taken on the Oakley Meta Vanguard AI Performance glasses, overlay their Strava stats, and share instantly. The integration requires a Strava account and works with the Meta AI app on supported devices.
