I think Engo has a chance to win though, at least for a while. They could release v2 next year with improved hardware and a slightly lower price and cyclists would eat it up.
Meanwhile, Apple is going to release their AR glasses but I don't think the initial version will be rugged enough for sports use. And I imagine they'll be MUCH more than $300.
I know people who choose Garmin watches for those two reasons so they may have picked the right market to address with that compatibility.
> I imagine they'll be MUCH more than $300.
I am guessing they will be priced around $2500-3000.
If that’s the case, the glasses would avoid what would already have been a theoretical $2k Apple monitor. [1]
Given these will also likely offer AR and access to apps and experiences monitors will not, I easily see the price crossing into the 3k territory.
What I’m wondering is if they will integrate audio or it will pair with AirPods. And if they will use motion data from Watch off the bat.
I’m guessing they will pair w airpods and watch. This would push the total cost of the complete system toward the $4k mark depending on what Watch / airpods are used.

I’ll be super disappointed if they start trying to charge a monthly sub for their fitness watches.
