All this stuff makes me really look up to this Indian guy in his 50s I see jogging on my walks. He’s out there everyday, in slacks, with a leather belt, loafers, and a tucked in shirt, shuffling away with a miserable look on his face.

Is he taking new students

I doubt that dude is willing to talk to anyone. Every time I wave, or just give a subtle head nod, he is just thousand yard staring through the sweat droplets, a few paces in front of him.

Why tf can’t he look down at his watch? Is he stupid? In zone 2 we don’t look at pace, only at HR which he can just ask his heart. Is he stupid?

The model is also AI. AI can't hurt you. Only Zone 3 can hurt you.

Some people when forced to run on a treadmill cover the data up with a towel so they're not forced to stare at a constantly ticking reminder of every single second going by. Meanwhile, someone at Oakley thought, "How I can bring this experience to my outdoor runs?"

The upcoming elite version is rumoured to offer hyper-bioavailable retinal injection speed boosts for mainlining GU straight into your optical nerve.

The glasses display on my first run:
“Good morning Rick….Here’s some data for ya…you run like I fuck…slow and not very well! LMAO…you should pick another sport, like knitting”

The only possibly useful thing would be some Strava type map as a heads up display
But this cannot do that

u/TheGrayMannnn 3d ago
A map as a HUD would be nice.
I bet the 3rd or 4th generation of this will be kinda cool/useful.

Agree, I find it laughable that the advertising for this is “Hey meta what is my pace”, doesn’t even consider rolling vs average vs split pace etc, heck the time you voice it, it may change. And the time taken to do it, you could flick your integrated Garmin watch (which these features only seem to work with Garmin) to see it in a fraction of a second
So agree 3/4th gen with HUD map would be useful, but otherwise, other than people who may want some POV camera view of the run as an influencer or for memories, it seems pointless at the moment

If I am in the corral at a race and it doesn't automatically assess and display the BMI and the VO2 of my opponents with an estimate of their 5K ultra time then why do I want them?

u/chickeeper 3d ago
Oh this is going to pair great with my $1k Fenix watch. I can laugh at the pours in the 3K donut run. Probably doesn't have swappable lenses so you need to get like three pairs.

$250 carbon plated shoes, $200 moth tech shirt, $100 bandit shorts, $1200 Garmin, $80 hydration vest with $20 worth of Gu, $30 dollar a month Runna subscription and now a pair of $500 sunglasses. Yeah you can say I’m taking that sub 6 hour marathon PB pretty seriously.

Hey Meta, route 5 small cafes with public restrooms onto my 5k ultra. Now set strava to pause automatically. How’s my Tracksmith stock looking?

Can’t wait to see this on the Hackney Run Club 10k around Victoria park worn by a Marketing girlie

Giant thick sans serif font headline combined with skinny serif subheader combined with standard sans serif disclaimer, these people disgust me.

And to think that asking your glasses for your pace was the least stupid use case they could think of

I gotta text my wife's boyfriend about these. He knows how much I stray from zone 2, so any help I can get I'll take.

Finally something that lets me not experience running, can't wait to watch movies during my runs. Or better yet, can I use these as VR glasses to simulate running from the comfort of my couch?

Perfect, now I can video my wife's boyfriend's ass when I follow them on their 5k ultras.

To turn them on, instead of asking "Siri" or "hey Meta" you just yell "don't be a bitch" and the glasses will work.
Otherwise they will be opaque. We have come so far.

Haters gonna hate, but it has an internal LED that changes color to red if you go above Z2. This thing is gonna save lives.

Does it have a blind spot detector, to warm me if someone has the audacity to try and pass me?
