engo Eyewear builds AR smart glasses designed for serious runners and cyclists, projecting real‑time performance data—pace, heart rate, power, and Garmin workouts—directly into the user’s field of view so athletes can stay focused on the road. The engo3 model adds photochromic lenses, 50% longer battery life, and gesture‑based controls, allowing users to switch dashboards, view color‑coded zones, and adjust metrics without looking at a wristwatch. This hands‑free, low‑distraction solution helps athletes train and race more efficiently.

Problem
Athletes often need to check multiple devices—watches, phones, bike computers—to monitor pace, heart rate, and power, which forces them to look away from their path and disrupts focus. This fragmentation can lead to missed data, slower reaction to changing conditions, and reduced training efficiency.
Solution
ENGO offers AR glasses that overlay real-time performance metrics directly in the athlete’s field of view, eliminating the need to glance at a wristwatch or handheld device. The glasses pair instantly with Garmin or Apple Watch, pulling data such as pace, heart rate, power, and workout zones, and display it on a high‑brightness OLED panel that remains legible in bright sunlight and low‑light conditions. Users can customize dashboards with over 40 metrics and switch between views using a simple double‑tap gesture on the temple arm, keeping hands free and eyes forward. The lightweight, photochromic frames provide up to 50 % more battery life than previous models, supporting long training sessions and races without distraction.
Target Audience
Primary customers are serious runners and cyclists who use performance watches and require hands‑free, real‑time data during training and competition.
