Oakley Meta Vanguard overview
The Oakley Meta Vanguard is a 12 MP pair of camera glasses with a built-in lens, announced by Meta in September 2025.
Going by its spec sheet, it suits hands-free point-of-view video, sport and sweat, and all-day wear. It is a weaker pick for zoom, low light or interchangeable lenses.
New, it sells for €548 in Europe (eBay.de); used and refurbished copies start at €395.19.
Worth comparing it with the Meta Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 1), Meta Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) and Meta Oakley Meta HSTN.
