The Oakley Sutro Lite Sweep excels as a performance-oriented sports sunglass with superior lens technology and a secure fit. The Ray-Ban Meta Skyler, on the other hand, is a fashion-forward smart glass that integrates technology for capturing content and staying connected, but requires a Meta account and has region-specific limitations.
