       | about 400EUR is expensive to what looks like a bit more than "a
       | toy")

         | good as my Tifosi's. Very comfy and stayed in place, which is
         | crucial for AR. They don't actually switch the lenses
         | themselves from clear to dark, it's just the brightness of the
         | text that increases, which is instant. But if you wanted to
         | ride at night, you wouldn't be able to wear them.

         | I agree they're expensive, especially since they aren't self
         | contained like a typical bike head unit is. I keep comparing
         | them to the Form swimming goggles - which are also AR. I feel
         | those are totally worth it. But the Engo's are just a bit too
         | expensive for what you get.

       | to invest in a bike computer. Currently use the Apple Watch to
       | track everything. Do you know If you can speed/distance/heart
       | rate from the Apple Watch? If so, it would be an instant
       | purchase.
