Oakley and Meta unveiled the AI-powered Vanguard smart glasses in India on February 3, 2026, tailored for athletes with hands-free 3K video, Hindi AI voice commands, and UPI payments. Priced accessibly at Rs 52,300, these IP67-rated specs bring global performance tech to local runners and cyclists via Sunglass Hut and optical stores nationwide.
Cutting-Edge Features for Indian Athletes
A 12MP wide-angle camera captures POV footage up to 3K with slow-mo and hyperlapse, centrally positioned for helmet compatibility and dust/sweat-proof durability. Open-ear speakers blast 6dB louder to pierce traffic or wind, backed by a 5-mic array minimizing noise during Hindi queries like “Hey Meta, heart rate kitta irukku?” syncing real-time Garmin stats.
Deepika Padukone lends her iconic voice as a Meta AI option, enhancing cultural resonance alongside UPI Lite for seamless post-workout transactions. Battery delivers 9 hours mixed use (6 hours audio), with the case adding 36 hours and 20-minute fast-charge to 50%—perfect for marathons or trails.
Oakley’s Prizm lenses boost contrast in four colorways, wrapping securely with swappable nose pads for Indian face fits. Available now, they integrate Strava for post-session insights, turning workouts into shareable highlights effortlessly.
