The Oakley Meta Vanguard are connected glasses that want to replace your phone camera, action camera and headphones. Along with a built-in camera and open-ear speakers to play audio, the Vanguard works with Garmin watches to let you ask about your real-time metrics, power running insights and capture videos and photos shaped by your running time.

Testers Mike and Nick have spent the last few months finding out if the Vanguard are great running glasses with useful smarts, or an expensive set of specs with features that need some work.
