The takeaway

Since launch, most of our work has gone into the software behind your glasses. It's the part that decides whether you can trust your data mid-effort, so it's where we've spent the last three months.

For Garmin users

If you train with Garmin, a few things should feel different now.

Pace is more accurate on laps and structured workouts, so what you see during intervals matches what you're actually running.
We reduced display latency, so your data updates closer to real time.
On Android, the connection with Garmin devices is more stable, and you can now shift the screen position inside your field of view right from the app.

For Apple Watch users

For Apple Watch, we fixed something more annoying. After the watchOS 26.5 update, the ActiveLook app started crashing when you started an activity on several models. That one came from the Apple update itself, and we moved fast on it. It's resolved now.

We're conscious that the experience with Apple Watch is still not perfect, and we're working hard to improve it within our constraints.

The takeaway

None of this is a finish line. Software is never really done, and we're already working on the next round of updates. Thanks for pushing us to make it better.

engo3

For serious runners and cyclists, engo3 connects to your Garmin device or Apple watch and puts your performance data exactly where you're already looking: right in front of you, in color (Garmin). Whether you're running intervals on the track or doing an easy run in zone 2, your HR zone, pace, power and 40+ other metrics are always visible without a single head movement. The new built-in workout mode goes further. Create your workout in Garmin or workout app, live gauges show your HR zone, pace target and interval countdown directly in your eyewear: green when you're in the zone, red when you need to push harder or back off. At peak effort, one glance tells you everything. No calculating, no guesswork, no looking down. With the Photochromic option, run or ride comfortably in any weather condition, and even early morning and in the evenings! Build your perfect data screens with 40+ widgets directly in the Companion App. Drag, drop, and you're ready to run. Follow every step of your structured workout - zones, intervals, and pacing - directly in your glasses HUD.

Everything runners ask, answered.

Will I even notice a difference?

The engo3 uses fixed tinted lenses (category 3), perfect for very sunny conditions. The engo3 Photochromic features photochromic lenses that automatically adapt to light levels (cat. 0 to 3), making it ideal for changing light conditions.

Is engo3 compatible with Garmin?

Yes it is, with over 81+ models of Garmin devices, plus Apple Watch.

How is engo3 different from Meta Oakley Vanguard?

engo3 is a pure performance display built for serious runners and cyclists: a lightweight AR heads-up display (38.5g) that projects your stats (pace, heart rate, cadence, and more) right in your line of sight, with 20+ hours of battery life and no camera, music, or notifications to distract you.

The Oakley Meta Vanguard is a general-purpose smart glasses product with a built-in camera and Meta AI, giving you sport stats through voice commands or audio rather than a visual display, with about 9 hours of battery life. In short: engo3 keeps your eyes on the road and your data always visible, Vanguard is a multitasking device where sport is one feature among many.

How long does the engo3 battery last?

24+hours

Can I use engo3 for trail running or ultras?

Yes!

Does engo3 have a camera?

No, engo3 doesn't have a camera. It's built purely as a data display: no camera, no music, no notifications, just your real-time stats (pace, heart rate, cadence, etc.) projected in your field of view. That's a deliberate choice to keep it light (38.5g) and focused on performance rather than content capture.
