They don't come even remotely close to recording what I'm looking at.

Well the glasses worked in the sense they turned on but they aren't efficient what so ever. I could be holding my phone directly in front of me but the glasses are going to record my ceiling fan and if I'm lucky it'll catch the top half inch of my phone. I bought these to use while I'm at work, I get to work and record a 10 minute video only to find out I've been recording the lights up above me almost the entire time and the only way to actually record what's in front of you is by looking at your feet. I know this review wont make it to your website because your moderation system is meant to shield your misleading product not to mention the fact you strictly put in your policy "Unmet expectations are not refundable." just tells me you're aware of these being misleading and choose to keep pushing the product. Obviously I know this review will achieve nothing but it made me feel better while I sit at work staring at this bulky waste of money. Appreciate it!

These glasses are ridiculously fun

Was skeptical, now I'm a convert. These glasses are ridiculously fun in the first week and genuinely useful after that. Best tech purchase I've made this year — buy them, you won't regret it. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

They're comfortable enough

I usually don't review products, but after two weeks with these, I feel like I should. I ordered M08 mostly out of curiosity — but they've quietly become part of my daily routine. The display is crisp enough to read notifications clearly, even outdoors, and the battery genuinely lasts through a full day of use. They're comfortable enough that I forget I'm wearing them, which is exactly what I hoped for. If you're on the fence, I'd say go for it — just set realistic expectations and you won't be disappointed.

Founder's note — why I wear the one I designed.

Founder's note — not a customer review, so read it with that in mind. I'm Sharp. I helped design the M08, and I wear the Photochromic variant every day in Ho Chi Minh. The reason this was our first frame is the same reason OXIVUE exists: a father in Milan in 2022 missing his daughter's first step because he was holding up a phone. M08 is built around that moment — understated body, 8MP camera on your face, so you don't have to choose between being there and catching it. Honest caveats: 7H music / 4H call / 2H charge makes it a daytime frame, not a 16-hour device. 42g is light for what it does, but you'll notice it more than a pair of reading glasses. If the phone-between-you-and-the-moment thing bothers you, this is the one. — Sharp Lee, Founder · OXIVUE

My daughter's first steps without the phone

We were already in the kitchen when she went. A single touch and it was on a card I pulled off that night. The frame is so light I actually forgot I was wearing it. The only reason I didn't miss the moment is because the M08 was already there.

The photochromic lens is the quiet feature

Went from the house, to the car, to a lunch on the terrace, to a museum. Never took them off. The tint transition is smooth enough that I stopped thinking about it. Battery held for a full day of casual shots.

Great — wish the charging case shipped in the box

Capture quality is better than I expected for 8 MP. Open-ear audio is polite; people can still hear me fine. Only half a star off because the magnetic charging case is sold separately — felt like it should have been included at this price.

First pair of smart glasses that don't look like tech

I've tried the big-brand ones. They all look like wearables. The M08 looks like a pair of Italian acetates and that is the whole point. The camera is hidden well. Nobody at dinner noticed.

Translation is practical, not a parlor trick

I use the live translation in meetings with overseas clients. Lag is there but acceptable. The barrier-free conversation mode saved an awkward coffee with a supplier last week. Would buy again.

Happy so far

For anyone comparing smart glasses right now: I've tried a couple of others, and what sold me here was the balance. The optics are sharp with no noticeable ghosting, the touch controls are responsive, and — the thing nobody mentions — the weight distribution is right. Most smart glasses announce themselves on your face; these disappear. Sound is decent for calls, and the app isn't bloated. It's not perfect, but it's the first pair I've kept wearing past the "trying it for fun" phase. If you're a tinkerer, you'll appreciate the attention to detail. Happy so far.

Thank you for making something that genuinely feels like the future — delivered today, not in ten years.

I'll be honest — I bought these half-expecting a gimmick. The first time I put them on and saw my phone notifications floating in front of my eye, I actually laughed out loud. It felt like something from a sci-fi movie I wasn't supposed to own yet. Three weeks later, the novelty hasn't worn off: I use them for directions while cycling, for quick replies without pulling out my phone, even for watching a video on a long flight. This is one of those rare purchases where the excitement doesn't fade after the unboxing. Thank you for making something that genuinely feels like the future — delivered today, not in ten years.

"Hey Cyan" is the killer feature

I wear these every day. The visual AI is genuinely useful — I asked what a sign in Italian meant on a recent trip and it just answered. No phone, no translate app. Dual stabilization is also miles better than my old pair.

Got caught in an absolute downpour cycling home. IP65 is not a marketing checkbox — these survived. Charging pogo snaps cleanly. The whole product feels over-engineered in a good way.

Lightest pair I've worn, including non-smart

Frame fit runs slightly narrow

Beautiful product. My only note: if you have a wider face, try the M08A — the half-rim gives more room. Otherwise, the AI wake is responsive and the battery easily gets me through a workday of occasional use.

These earn their place.

As someone who stares at screens all day, these glasses have been a small but real upgrade to how I work. I can check messages and calendar alerts without breaking focus, and walking between meetings with navigation on the lens instead of in my hand is a quality-of-life change I didn't expect. Build quality feels solid, pairing was painless, and customer support actually answered my questions quickly. For anyone who works on the move and is tired of looking down at a phone every five minutes — these earn their place.

I'm a journalist. The M08C replaced a bulky recorder for most of my field interviews. The gold finish reads as an accessory, not a device. Playback audio picked up quiet subjects in a loud hotel lobby.

Silver trim feels more professional than I expected

Took these into two client meetings and a board review last week. Nobody registered them as tech. The real-time translation caught a Swedish phrase I wouldn't have otherwise understood. Frames are slightly heavy but not enough to bother me.

A real departure from the round family

The shape is a real departure from the round family — more architectural, less editorial. It still feels like OXIVUE, but the silhouette is a proper second chapter. Glad I went for it.

Honestly didn't think a $30 watch could feel this nice

Was skeptical. Most cheap watches feel like a plastic toy on the wrist. This one doesn't. The case has actual weight to it (not heavy, just not hollow), and the strap is softer than the silicone on my old Fitbit. Battery's been 6 days each charge, close enough to the 7 they claim. Heart rate is within 3-4 bpm of my Polar chest strap which is fine for me.

Got the rose gold for daily wear

Wanted something that doesn't look like a fitness tracker at work. The rose gold strap with that square dial actually goes with my office clothes. Sleep tracking has been useful, I've actually changed my bedtime because of it. App is okay - functional, not pretty.

Good for the price, app needs work

The watch itself is solid for $30. Display is crisp, battery is real, the gun metal one looks understated. My one gripe is the companion app - it crashed on me twice in the first week and the syncing was slow. Got better after an update. Wouldn't pay $200 for this but at $30 I'm not complaining.

Replaced my Apple Watch SE with this

Sounds ridiculous I know. But I was using my AW for like 3 things — time, heart rate, alarms — and charging it every night. This does those three things and I charge it once a week. The army green one is what I picked, looks great with hiking gear. Not as fancy obviously, but for what I actually use a watch for, it's enough.

Strap is the weak point

Watch face and internals are great for the price. The strap though — mine started getting a bit loose at the keeper loop after 3 weeks. Not falling off, just not as tight as day one. Might just be how silicone breaks in. Otherwise fine, sleep and step tracking has been accurate, calls through the watch work.

Bought one for me, one for my husband

I got the silver, he got the gun metal. We've been using them as a way to share our step counts (small competition going). Battery has been 7 days for me, 5 days for him because he uses the workout mode more. Sleep score showed me I was undersleeping by an hour each night - useful info I didn't know I needed.

Orange was the right call

Almost went with the gray to play it safe and I'm glad I didn't. The orange is bright but not loud - more like a warm coral than a traffic cone. Gets compliments at the gym.

Wear it for work, wear it for runs

I work in an office and run after work. Was tired of switching between a dress watch and a sports watch. This one stays on all day. Picked the blue, looks fine with a shirt cuff over it, looks fine with a t-shirt. Run tracking is basic but accurate enough - matches my Garmin within a few meters per mile.

Great battery, app could be smarter

The battery on this thing is genuinely impressive. I'm at day 6 and still have 25% left. Heart rate, steps, sleep all reasonable. My only complaint is the companion app - it tracks the data but doesn't really do anything with it. No insights, no weekly summaries. Just raw numbers. Hoping that gets better with updates.

Purple is unexpectedly grown-up

Bought the purple thinking it might look cheap. It doesn't - more of a deep aubergine than a pop purple. Goes with a lot. Round face wears smaller than the photos suggest, which I prefer. Sleep score helped me realize I was waking up at 4am every night and I didn't know it.

Strap fits small wrists if you're worried

I have a small wrist (6 inch) and was worried this would slip around. It doesn't - the strap has enough holes that I'm in the middle range. Gray was a good neutral pick. Took a star off because the watch lost connection to my phone a few times in the first week and I had to re-pair it. Hasn't happened in the last month though.

Round AMOLED is the upgrade I wanted

Had the square 54CJ for a couple months and was happy with it. Reserved this one because I prefer the look of a round dial. AMOLED is a real upgrade - colors pop, always-on is readable in sunlight. The silver finish is more brushed than polished, which I like. Worth the $50.

Heavier than I expected, but in a good way

The 185C is noticeably heavier than the square models - about 36g vs 32g. At first I thought I'd find it annoying but actually it feels more substantial on the wrist, less like a fitness band and more like a watch. One point off because always-on display does eat the battery faster than they advertise - I'm getting 5 days, not 7.

Bezel finish is nicer in person

Came from a Garmin Forerunner, no regrets

I've had Garmins for years. The Forerunner does more, sure, but I realized I only used 10% of its features. The 185C does the parts I actually use - heart rate, sleep, GPS-tagged outdoor runs, calls. Battery comparable. Watch is lighter and looks better in non-running settings. Glad I switched.

Display is great, software needs maturing

AMOLED display is genuinely beautiful. Battery is honest at about 6 days for me with always-on off. My three stars are because the software still feels like a 1.0 - some animations stutter, occasionally a notification doesn't come through, app sync can be slow. It'll get better with updates I'm sure, but at launch it's a bit rough.

Bought it because of the silver finish

The silver one in the photos caught me. In person it doesn't disappoint - more of a polished steel look than the photos suggest. Wears under a cuff fine. Sensors are accurate, AMOLED is crisp in any light, magnetic charger snaps on properly. Only thing I'd change is the band material - silicone is fine but I'd buy a leather option in a heartbeat.
