FORM Smart Swim Goggles 2

Okay…. So the app is not very intuitive. The workouts section is confusing on the goggles. I can’t seem to pause or stop a free swim. I did not get the discount promised on the subscription. And yet gives stars i hear you ask? Yes…. These, the pro version in gorilla glass, are arguably the best goggles for visibility I have ever used. They just don’t fog. Yes you have to squirt them as they can’t be coated but… it works. I would pay a premium just for that; consistently clear goggles. All the time. We’ve clearly been doing it wrong for years with plastic ‘anti fog’ goggles. They are all rubbish. Great fit, no leaks, and five bridge sizes to adjust the seal. So what about the smart part? Well, Once you get the hang of the interface… Game changing. Constant lap counter - that works. Pace split every turn. And the workouts turn everything into Zwift for the pool. Intervals are a breeze with the rest counter. You can pick targeted training. The things pick up on poor technique and give you additional widgets on the display to correct it. Apparently I have been swimming with a slow turning head when breathing freestyle. So it gave me a gauge and and a target zone to speed it up. Syncs to Apple fitness if you want but without the stroke info… I’ve stopped using the watch in the pool. It’s redundant. Totally. If these things have the longevity that the construction and the gorilla glass suggest then they will pay for themselves with all the goggles I won’t need to buy. Time will tell. …and I haven’t even mentioned the open water bearing compass or the fact that they are NOT banned in Triathlon races. Or the decent hardcase. One of the things I own that if I lost or trod on them I would replace immediately. I would be annoyed. Sure. But it would be instant.

Insgesamt bin ich mit der FORM Smart Swim Goggles PRO überwiegend zufrieden. Besonders im Pool bietet die Brille während der einmonatigen Testphase eine gute Auswahl an Trainingsprogrammen und hilfreichen Trainingsfunktionen. Zu Beginn wirkt die Brille im Vergleich zu herkömmlichen Schwimmbrillen deutlich schwerer, was zunächst etwas ungewohnt ist. Im Wasser relativiert sich dieser Eindruck jedoch schnell, da das zusätzliche Gewicht während des Schwimmens kaum noch wahrnehmbar ist. Verbesserungspotenzial sehe ich vor allem im Bereich Open Water. Dort werden aktuell hauptsächlich die Gesamtzeit und die Herzfrequenz angezeigt. Die Pace-Daten basieren auf der verbundenen Smartwatch, was bei parallel laufenden Anwendungen teilweise zu ungenauen oder wenig nutzbaren Messwerten führen kann. Auch die GPS-Messung über die Uhr allein liefert nach meiner Erfahrung nicht immer die gewünschte Genauigkeit. Eine integrierte GPS-Funktion direkt in der Brille wäre daher eine interessante Weiterentwicklung und könnte den Nutzen im Freiwasser deutlich erhöhen. Da ich vermutlich ein eher schmales Gesicht habe, sitzt die Anzeige nicht immer optimal im Sichtfeld. Hier könnten zusätzliche Anpassungsmöglichkeiten für unterschiedliche Gesichtsformen hilfreich sein. Außerdem nutze ich Kontaktlinsen, um die eingeblendeten Informationen klar und komfortabel lesen zu können. Die SwimStraight-Funktion konnte ich bislang noch nicht unter realistischen Bedingungen mit weiter entfernten Bojen testen. Das Konzept erscheint jedoch vielversprechend und könnte insbesondere im Freiwasser einen deutlichen Mehrwert bieten, indem es die Orientierung verbessert und unnötige Richtungsabweichungen reduziert. Fazit: Die FORM Smart Swim Goggles PRO überzeugt im Pool mit umfangreichen Trainingsfunktionen und einer gelungenen Datendarstellung. Im Open-Water-Bereich sehe ich noch Entwicklungspotenzial, insbesondere hinsichtlich GPS-Integration, Navigationsfunktionen und individueller Anpassbarkeit der Anzeige. Insgesamt hinterlässt die Brille jedoch einen positiven Eindruck und bietet eine interessante Kombination aus Schwimmtraining und Echtzeitdaten.

First, love them! There was a prior review on suction on the eyes which quickly they replaced. Not sure when they purchased but the suction on mine are amazingly - double thumbs up. I’m not a professional swimmer I had an injury 4 years ago Couple months back was walking without a cane and Dr said start swimming. Prior to my accident I was running 5-7 miles a day, working ball machine for 1 hr and hit the driving range almost daily and weekend longer run play 36 I saw in description you can use with OUT a subscription- this for me was the tricky part I think I signed up and emailed them to cancel the trial bc I just couldn’t figure out how to get it working That being said YES you can use them without a subscription Again, I’m no swimmer but an athlete (college and professionally). So I turn them on and it great to keep my pace, heart rate - so I can keep in fat burning zone - THANK YOU!! I have a garmin for all spots, golf running swimming but could never see my heart rate to know when to pick up or slow down. This work perfectly form me bc that’s what I needed. Having the timer lets you know how long so you don’t need to check your watch or stop. The suction on eyes is perfect- no water ever leaks in my goggles !! Yee Haw! As for value of your money- for me yes! Great value But everyone leverages money differently What you’re looking for is basics and I’m sure it does more for me perfect! I use a different de fogger but lens are crystal clear for me. I thought the display would bother me but it does not It reminds me of when they speed limit heads up displays. It’s there but never interferes with driving If your like me - read above I’m not professional just monitoring fitness with heart rate zones. Pace, distance, time and intervals - without a subscription THESE ARE FOR UOU!!

Good👍

Speedy service great product a little pri y but if you swim laps , they are worth it.

Most of the feature are subscription based feature, which make these glasses useless, if you don't pay subscriptions specifically the feature of connecting the googles with any training app - like training peak, tridot etc.
