Recon Jet Smart Eyewear for Sports and Fitness - White

Charging for hours now but won’t turn on, don’t waste your money 🤷🏾‍♂️

I was really excited to buy this product when I saw the price was down to 245.00. I had to return it though because there is really no support other than technical support with the website. The company was bought a year ago by Intel who immediately closed the company? There are no more parts, lenses or other hardware support. I found this out 2 days after I bought it. I like the product and the concept but it is a dead end with intels decision. Had a great deal of potential I thought.

The media could not be loaded.  I like the product and it is just as described. However the jury is still out for me as to whether it is what I need for my training.I've only had it for a week and tried it for running only so far. Will bike with it when the weather improves.It is nice to have your stats right in front of you, speed, cadence, time, etc.It has an option called "Glance detection" to keep the screen off most of the time, and it turns on only when you look down. The feature works well and it saves battery. For me, I like to keep it on all the time, but the battery use will take a hit.I have only taken it for short runs so far, but after a few miles you start to feel the extra weight of the glasses on your nose, then they also start to slip down. I found myself pushing them back up quite often. Maybe adjusting the nose clip and legs will help.The data screens are customizable from one to four fields each, and you can have up to four screens that can either rotate automatically or be set to just one and you can rotate them manually as needed.The rocker buttons for select and back (on the bottom right) are easy to use, the trackpad works well, and you can swipe up, down, forward and back, however when running I found it hard to find it so I don't even bother with it.It has several nice features like a music player app (to play songs from your phone, it doesn't store songs), the player shows the song name and artist and you can skip/rewind songs, adjust volume, etc. There is a map navigation option as well, you can download maps from your computer to the glasses.In my short experience though, many of these features don't seem very usable to me while running. With all the bouncing it is hard to swipe forward, back, up, or down. Maybe biking will be different. I just keep my glasses on one stat screen, and if I wish to take a video I just tap on the glasses.Notifications are nice, they show up at the bottom of the screen, you can answer the phone from the glasses assuming you have headphones on.It comes with just one set of lenses, which are polarized. I thought it came with more, but I guess you have to buy them separately.It works well with my Scosche RHYTHM+ heart rate monitor and shows heart rate info on the screen. On the other hand it does not connect to my Garmin Fenix 3 watch at all. You can think of the Fenix watch and the ReconJet glasses as similar items recording all your stats, just one on your wrist, the other on your face. Not sure why you'd need both.You don't "need" a phone to use the glasses, as it does its own GPS, speed tracking, sensors connecting, etc. It takes pictures or video by just double tapping the right side of the glasses, which is really convenient while you are in the middle of an activity. The media can be downloaded to your computer with the USB cable. There is a phone app to connect to the glasses, and when you sync you get your stats on your phone. I still have not been able to figure out how to download the pictures/video to the phone, I don't think you can.When recording video or taking pictures the screen acts as a viewfinder, you can also playback pictures and video on the viewfinder. You cannot play other videos on the viewfinder (like from a computer or phone as a portable screen - too bad, that would be cool).The glasses come with 6 Gig of storage which seems plenty to capture pictures and video.While I like the concept, and the product is very nice, I'm not yet sure how much of an asset this will be to my training. I guess I will find out more with further use, and after it gets warm enough for a bike ride.

Great concept and the quality of the deceive is nice. Big disappointment if you are looking to use these for cycling - the maps nd navigation are just not there yet. Recon Jet needs turn by turn GPS navigation and mapping. Long set up time. Camera quality and video quality is poor.

Wasn't what I expected

great concept but not quite there yet.the computer element and battery carry to much weight to the front and the frame keeps sliding down (even with all of the required adjustments)

AZ’ers –When I first saw this product, I knew I had to learn more.Let me preface this review with a bit of history and background. I’m a professional cycling coach, but my focus is almost entirely on recreational cyclists, and finding ways to help them use wattage metrics, to enhance both their training, and their outside rides. I’ve been coaching with wattage since 1995, and have been involved in several power meters, most of which have failed to meet my standards of “Robust and Seamless”. Remember those words, because after a month with the Recon Jet, I am mightily impressed.The Jet is NOT a pair of sunglasses. It’s an on-board computer, mounted around your temples, with radio receivers that can transmit and receive both Bluetooth and my own favorite, ANT+. If you’re a cyclist, either or both of these signals are important, because there are myriad attachments, like cadence sensors, speed sensors, heart rate straps, power meters, even footpods and head-impact sensors, that can pair up with the Jet. When you combine this with on-board GPS, you’re getting the ability to record and interpret, on-the-fly, roughly 8’ out from your right eye, a TON of data. The OS makes it easy to set up what devices you want to read, it remembers them, and allows you to place them on different menus. Right now, I have about four screens, with four items per screen, and then one screen with just two items. So again – you can put as much or as little on the screens as possible, and scrolling just takes a flick of the finger.There’s also a compass, which is cool, and a map, which you can set for your local venues. Right now, pre-planned trips are not set up, but I’m sure they’ll be doing their own Strava or RideWithGPS thing, or they’ll be partnering with them, soon enough.There’s also an on-board camera, which can take good stills, or video snippets in 15,30, and 60 second max takes. Since we’re living in a ‘Vine’ type of world, I’ve been doing some great 15 and 30 second recordings, in packs, when descending, when climbing, and even in some races. It’s not distracting – you just click it, it counts down, and you resume focusing on the road or other riders. I’ve used it as a coach for interviewing cyclists during intervals, showing them afterwards what they did right and what they might improve upon next time, and I can also use it to point out things like a skipping chain, or pointing out a pothole in advance, so that they’ll know it’s there when they go over the same piece of road. Heck – I captured an evil pothole lip in Wisconsin…. About 2/10 of a second before I hit it, and then promptly flatted!I think this thing is a serious contender for your face, and for your handlebar. I think it could replace your Garmin. I think you will want to put your phone back in your pocket, and not on your handlebar. I think the thing even receives IM’s and alerts you to phone calls in case you need to pull over and have a discussion. Finally, unlike the other head unit manufacturers, they released a developer’s kit, and I’m all over it! I think it’s basically Android based, so if I want a happy face at 400 watts, I can do that!I think my only real complaint right now is with the batteries, which last about 2.5-3 hours for me. However, I went ahead and purchased an extra battery, and I charge it, and swap the batteries out in about 15 seconds. I guess I could do it while riding, though I really haven’t tried.As a pair of sunglasses, they work well, and the fit, while not perfect, is sort of like a pair of my Rudy’s; I’d give that maybe a 3.5/5. But overall, I think these folks have done their homework – seriously. They’ve got a safe product with features unlike anyone else, and HUGE flexibility. You can build apps for it, take photos, shoot video, and share it socially, almost on-the-fly. I thought the HUD would be a distraction, but no, not really.I’m really trying hard NOT to sound like a fan boy, but when I see this thing, the price point, the features, and the negligible weight, well, it’s kind of a no-brainer. I may even try to build some new hardware of my own, now, like maybe an electronic flow-meter for my Camelback, so I can see just how much fluid I’m consuming, and have it on my eye. The whole thing is useful-cool. I can see it being used in driving, motorcycling, sailing, maybe beach volleyball, hiking, DEFINITELY sky-diving. Basically, if you’re an active-lifestyle person, I really can’t think of a better investment.Anyway, I usually reject long-winded Amazon reviews, but I figured this was the first place I could post. I was leery at first, but grew in love with the thing over the course of about 8 days. It’s pretty freakin’ cool. Now, any of you think you can help me ‘droid up some TrainingPeaks and PhysFarm scores for this thing? I can’t code for squat….

Sorry, not a buyer. No need to take photos or videos surreptitiously

Nicht nutzbar, da Verbindungsapp zwischen Telefon und Brille nicht funktioniert. Woltle das Produkt zum segeln nutzen. Funktioniert leider nicht.

No me ha gustado no tiene soporte y no es nada intuitivo

Tecnologia ancora embrionale per poter essere effettivamente utilizzata. Gli occhiali hanno un bel design e non sono enormi, ma il display è piccolo e laterale.

GREAT JUST GOT TO GET THEM WORKING PS NOT BROKEN JUSTHAVE TO START THEM UP USING AN APP HOPE IT ALL WORKS OUT THEY ARE VERY EXPENSIVE SUN GLASSES IF THIS DON'T WORK BUT WILL HAVE TO AIT AND SEE
