Retail $199FORM swim goggles are a swimmer/triathlete tool that qualifies under the "want" category. These goggles are a fun way to track swimming metrics in a way that keeps the information easy to read and access.
- Quick feedback of stats "during" and at "rest".
- Profile kept water out of eyes
Cons:
- Expensive
- Only tracks swim metrics
The display can be adjusted after syncing your goggles to an app on your phone. You can choose to see two metrics at any given time, distance, pace, strokes, etc. You have three choices for viewing data, 1) while swimming, 2) after the turn, and 3) during the rest cycle. One caveat is that you can only see the metrics that you have set up on the app, meaning further information is not available until the session is completed. After you finish your swim, the tracking data is synced to your app where you can examine the information.
For example. My goggles are set to show Lap Time and Lap Pace during the swim. At the turn, I see Split Time and Lap Distance. At rest, I see Rest Time and Total Distance.
Additionally, the goggles come with varying bridge connectors to help fit the goggles to your individual face. The goggles will default to display on your right eye but can be flipped to read on the left side. The module is non-obtrusive and doesn't stand out to other swimmers as odd.
Special Note: These goggles are NOT legal for competitive swimmers or triathletes during races.
Overall, the goggles are a fun accessory to your swimming toolkit. If you are a serious swimmer looking for the next fun toy, dive in with a pair of FORM goggles!
