Furthermore, Rokid has partnered with Garmin, suggesting that cyclists can utilize the glasses to see directions and health stats such as heart rate while they ride.

Rokid claims that the device can last up to four hours on a single charge and can fully recharge in just 20 minutes. Additionally, the included wireless charging case can provide up to ten complete charges.
