FORM Smart Swim 1 - Goggles

As a regular (but still amateur) swimmer, I've found these to be a game changer. Build quality is superb (even if the anti-fog still fogs a little); they're comfy and come with a comprehensive set of nosepieces to guarantee the best fit. Given the amount of technology packed into them, they're very unobtrusive; you'd never know that they were smart goggles by looking at them. The display is clear and easy to customise, with dashboards for swimming, resting, and turning. You can pretty much choose whatever data you'd like for each of them. There is a slight reduction in peripheral vision, but the HUD doesn't interfere with your vision nearly as much as some reviewers have stated. The app is simply brilliant, and captures plenty of rich data – its integration with Strava is fantastic, with an elegant image showing your stats. There are a few niggles. You do need to keep them on, and not rinse them when you're resting. Doing so might compromise the coating, and also tends to misregister as additional lengths. But that's a minor quibble giving that this is cutting-edge tech. It's like being in a little fighter jet. Sadly without the torpedoes...

Being a gadget nut these goggles appealed to me as I intended to take up swimming for fitness again and, as a great piece of tech, they tick all the boxes. However the biggest benefit has been just how motivational they are. One sees the distance achieved thus far and is driven to meet the target you set. No more counting the lengths tirelessly in your mind and convincing yourself that you've done enough. It's right there in front of you coldly, unemotionally telling you what you have done and reminding you It's not enough if you're short. Before I would excuse myself and only do the few I did whimping out when I felt slightly jaded. Now I have this bright big number I can watch count down until I reach my goal. Absolutely fantastic. They are super-easy to use, great battery life and the companion app gives lots of interesting stats once you've synchronised your goggles after your swim. The build quality is superb and the included case helpful and practical. I know that these are a lot of money and for just a gadget I was being overly extravagant. But, these are a lot more and so worth the money.

Overall these are quite cool. They show a lot of information whilst you swim, but my initial experiences are: - Any slight change in your lane swim (e.g. having to overtake, pause for a slower swimmer, adjust the goggles' fit...) will cause extra lengths to be incorrectly added. Over a 2000m swim, an extra 3 lengths were added, and a separate 1,500m swim 1 length was added. My Apple Watch counted the lengths correctly on both swims - It won't connect to your Apple Watch on pool swims (only outdoor) - apparently this is due to bluetooth, but it works outside, but not inside (not quite sure about that!) - this means you can't use the heart rate from your Apple Watch on the display - The pace calculation is quite different from the Apple Watch. Apparently they only use your swimming time, but Apple include any pauses and turn times. This gave me a significantly faster pace on the goggles vs my watch - The calorie calculation is very different vs the Apple Watch. For example, on a 2000m swim, the goggles said I burnt 419kCal, ant the watch 544. I guess the watch is more accurate as it knows my heart rate etc... - The SWOLF calculation and stroke count are quite different from the Apple Watch. For example there was a difference of almost 20 strokes/100m between the two (with the watch being lower). My guess here is that as the watch is on your arm, it's a more accurate measure - The app is OK, but elements are quite hostile to colourblind users - Their support is quick and helpful Overall, this is a nice addition, but not sure the price tag (I got it on Prime day with £70 off!) is quite worth it.

I am an average swimmer (1"50/100m) who wants to progress in the sport and achieve some objectives for this year. I think those goggles would just help me to do that. I do not have to think about my structured training program any longer but can simply focus on my technique and have now a view of how I am doing in real time. I have combined my purchase with the HR monitor for zone training in order to push myself. The two works flawlessly. The phone application is also very comprehensive and synchronize immediately with my strava. The goggles need a good 10min to get used to as the display takes a bit of your vision away but then it's all good. They fog up as any other goggles but they do keep the water out once correctly adjusted to your face (many different nose bridges provided). They are obviously an expensive investment but to me it's another reason to get to the pool !

I was really looking forward to receiving the smart goggles but was disappointed when I opened the product and found the strap was stuck together and very fragile. When I tried to prise the strap open, it broke. I have used an old strap from much, much cheaper goggles. Another feature is that you cannot put in the length of pools - the lowest you can go down to is a 15 m pool. I have to keep working out the stats myself.

I enjoyed using these goggles. Didn't have chance to try any of the training features as a lot are 3000m+ and I hadn't quite got to that stage, definitely took away the lap counting and allowed me to enjoy the swim and concentrate on strokes. Disappointingly they scratched very easily despite being well cared for, and then had to be returned because on their first charge (approx 8 swims later) they wouldn't charge. I bought a Garmin watch to sync for outdoor swimming, and now I'm not sure I'll order replacements as the Garmin watch is pretty accurate, just doesn't give you as much detail on the swim breakdown such as stroke detection and rests etc . The watch also doesn't sync to the goggles for HR for pool swims, I'm not sure why FORM haven't allowed this feature when it does outdoors.

I have used Form Goggles for 4years now. With my average swimming distance of 2-3000m per day. Form goggles push me to increase my times and distance, with live metrixs in front of me all the time. Its like having your personal coach in the pool. The only downside is the goggles scratch and dont stay too clean in the long term. My first pair were stolen, my second pair sold and up graded to Form 2. Highly recommend from Guiness record holder, thanks to Form.

Started back in the pool this week following easing of lockdown in the UK with these goggles with the polar hrm and my trusty Aftershokz mp3. I swim daily (usually about a mile a day) in a 15m pool. Previously I was using a Swimmo for my tracking and while it was OK, these goggles blow it out of the water (excuse the pun) on every level. Comfy, do not leak (choose the right nosebridge), subtle, great battery life and, most importantly of all, the most accurate tracker I have used to date! They are an investment but, if you are a regular swimmer and like to compete against yourself or even just see how many calories you can burn for motivation, totally recommended! My eyesight is rubbish - I struggle to see long or short distances without my glasses, but have always found underwater I can see OK. I can see the display no problem when I'm swimming.

Li ho presi per non guardare continuamente il mio fenix 6x durante il nuoto a mare, cosi da avere la distanza il tempo e l HR in tempo reale. Devo dire che vanno abbastanza bene messi entrambi sullo stesso lato (nel caso mio il destro) l aggiornamento e' molto rapido praticamente ogni bracciata, al costo in un leggero consumo supplementare sul fenix 6x (passa dal 4%/ora al 13%/ora) ma accettabile. Compatibilita perfetta col fenix 6 connessione immediata, visibilita ottima anche col sole forte e vestibilita comoda. Non si appannano almeno per il momento. Li avrei preferiti con un campo visivo piu ampio, e' ridotto rispetto gli altri occhialini che tipicamente uso sia in piscina che a mare, ed a mare e meglio avere una visibilita piu ampia. Gli aggiornamenti software sono abbastanza frequenti, spero che aggiungano ulteriori metriche e la navigazione che indichi la direzione rispetto un percorso precaricato, sono fiduciono. Per quanto riguarda sia l app che la configurabilita sono abbastanza intuitivi e ben fatte anche in assenza di manuale ti guidano facilmente. La rotazione delle informazioni anche se non configurabile come tempo ha la frequenza giusta a mio parere. Bisogna indossarli un po di volte per abituarsi al fatto che il display e' su un occhio solo, all inizio da un po fastidio, PRO: Facilita d'uso software e firmware ben fatti durata batteria Contro: Campo visivo costo (ma e' giustificato dal fatto che e' un prodotto escusivo)

Amazong glasses ivd had them for pver 3 months. Its like a personal trainer in your glasses. Make your program on your phone or take the programs provided by form app and sync them to your glasses. The app is free for a year so you can download 5 programs to your glasses and havr choice. You can even download a 12 week tri program for on and off season and other programs. All this is compatible with STRAVA app auto transfers all your data automatically oncexin proximaty to your phone and also syncs to your form app. The details of your swims are amazing even ip to the angle of your head is given for max performance speed and strength. I definetly recommend these goggles. I havent used them in open water yet but you can also pour switch from pool to open water with gps compatibility when wearing a watch. Wait till they come on special before but diefinetly worth the investment. Comes with a hard case nose piece adjustement fof all types of people. Battery is also amazing uses about 5 to 10% for every 2000m thats including power loss between trainnings every day. I charge them every three days but there is still 75% charge in them so i figure you could swim a full week before charging. This is based on a 2000m trainning routine 5 days a week.

Un très grand dommage pour l'application qui est uniquement en anglais et demande de payer 20€ pour pouvoir activer les lunettes c'est un de mes plus gros regret sur ces lunettes pour l'instant ! Néanmoins dans la piscine elle affiche le temps passé et le nombre de mètres fais par palier de 25m ou 50m selon la longueur de la piscine elle ont bien 16h d'autonomie ! Le changement du plastique du nez est assez dure et le caoutchouc des lunettes semble pas foufou mais à voir dans le temps comme certains commentaires disent qu'elle ne tiennent pas dans le temps !

Great goggles and having fan using it. I think this goggles will help me a lot on improving my swim.

I consider myself a serious long distance swimmer. I bought the goggles because I wanted something which could keep track of my distance and time, and which would allow me to just focus on getting through a long swim without losing track of which lap I had just swum or how long I've been swimming. After setting the pool length, I had no issues with the goggles keeping track of laps. Every time I turned around, the goggles registered a lap after a few seconds and told me how fast I had done the lap and then switched to my overall time and distance. I'm not interested in the workouts, and I will say the app is pretty dense and difficult to navigate. It took a while to figure out where my swims were, and it took several attempts to sync the goggles. Since that first since I haven't had any problems, and I now know where to go to see what I did. To be honest, everything is given in the googles at the end of your swim. I don't do flips when I turn around and the googles were fine registering me stopping and turning around. Sometimes, I stopped to catch my breath and the googles automatically sensed this and went into rest mode. That said, It took me several swims and different nose pieces to find the one that fit without hurting. In traditional goggles, the nosepiece is rubber and flexes. The supplied nosepieces are hard plastic and don't give, so they don't adjust to your face. They provide 8 different sizes. The case is nice and well made. The goggles are quality. I had no leak issues and they didn't fog up. The goggles came fully charged and ready to go (minus set up such as entering your personal info.) I need bifocals, but wear glasses only for distance. If I need to read, I take off my glasses and bring the book to my face. I have contacts for distance. I had thought that because the info screen was close to my face that I wouldn't need to wear contacts, but for some reason you need distance vision to see the screen. I just wear one contact in my right eye and when I'm done swimming, toss it and switch back to glasses. It does take some time to get used to having a data field hovering in front of you while swimming...especially when it's only one eye. Thankfully, pools have a black stripe on the bottom so I can use that to swim in a straight line. Overall, so far, so good. They have definitely improved my swims. It's easier to distinguish between actual effort and perceived effort. It feels like I'm exerting myself when in reality I'm going slower than I feel and the googles help with that. But, like I said, I'm concerned with distance...not time...but I don't want to be too slow and waste time and energy when doing a long swim, so the time display is a good nudge to keep on pace. Edit 10/4/24 In order to use the Goggles you need to pay. I thought I already paid when I bought the Goggles. It’s $100 a year. Why do I need to pay when the goggles already tell me distance and time? Money grab which isn’t cool.
