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
If I ever see anyone wearing one, I will hit them in the face. Hard. And step on this shit.
Edit: Ridicule me all you want. This Stasi shit must not get a foothold anywhere. Truly dystopian times.
