Remember the days of Google Glass, when smart eyewear was more of a fashion faux pas than a functional gadget? The technology has evolved since then, and Minimis Glass is leading the charge with the world’s first standalone smart shades focused on fitness tracking, health monitoring, and navigation.
Hailing from Sydney, Australia, Minimis Glass is the brainchild of founder Joseph Guo. These sleek glasses, weighing a mere 3 oz, eliminate the need for a secondary device and provide real-time workout data, navigational maps, and seamless integration with your Spotify account via Bluetooth earbuds or headphones.
Guo’s motivation? “I despise sticky running watches and also hate carrying my phone on workouts. The current endurance sporting experience is just so needlessly cluttered and outdated, and there’s no alternative. So I made one.”
Minimis Glass boasts an OLED microdisplay in high-definition at the upper third of the lens, ensuring an unobstructed view of the road for runners, cyclists, and walkers alike. With eSIM, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth capabilities, as well as a heart-rate monitor at your temple, these smart shades offer a comprehensive experience.
The glasses deliver approximately seven hours of continuous battery life, extending to 11 hours with intermittent use. And as fitness enthusiasts themselves, the creators haven’t overlooked the basics, incorporating anti-fog, water resistance, UV protection, and transition lenses into the design.
Priced at an exclusive $699 during the pre-order period, including a bonus charging case, Minimis Glass offers a 36% discount off its retail price. With this groundbreaking product, athletes and tech enthusiasts can bid farewell to bulky devices and experience a new era in sports wearables. The future is clear – and stylish – with Minimis Glass.
