I have the Oakley one, mostly of two reasons:
the audio quality for music and podcasts during runs and bike rides is good, not as good as the Bose frames, but way better than everything else, if you want your ears free
the video rivals an action cam. Great for pictures or short videos, for something like filming the kids on a ski run. Way safer than taking out a smartphone ( I do not like parents filming with a phone on the slopes, super dangerous)
Now, if have it set up on an older phone and cut down everything. The meta ai app is horrible, their sloptok is even worse.
Additionaly, you are only allowed to use what meta likes, so, for example, only Spotify, no Deezer, no tidal. Only Garmin, no polar, no suunto.
I do not use the ai features, and I can see why people are weirded out by the cameras.
But for the niche stuff, they are a cool alternative to a gopro
I'm just waiting for the first Glasshole who goes to a children's playground wearing these and gets investigated by police. Imagine someone judging everything you glance at.
No one would tolerate some guy at a park with a gopro.
I think the issue isn’t so much you filming runs and rides as GoPros have done that forever, but you know some people will be walking around constantly with these in public, bathrooms, classrooms, and live streaming it to the world while doing antisocial bullshit for content.
I'm not only weirded out by the AI features. I also just don't want to appear in some random persons video. It does not matter if the camera is in a smartphone or a wearable. It is insane to me how many people do not respect the privacy of others in this regard.
