You can glance at the sun but don’t stare at it. Even when it’s only 1% visible, it’s putting out enough light to strain or damage your eyes.
Though it’s fine to look at the eclipse with naked eyes when it’s total. You can’t really see the cool effect surrounding the moon during totality with the eclipse glasses on because it’s way dimmer than the sun usually is.
Your eyes will tell you if it’s safe to look. If it’s uncomfortably bright, then you shouldn’t power through that discomfort (and that applies to things other than the sun). If it feels like looking at anything else, then it’s probably fine.
