Form Smart Swim Goggles
Sports and Fitness July 12, 2023

Well, it was bound to happen eventually! Now everyone can feel like they’re living in the future or they’re some kind of superspy or something. When you’re swimming that is but what good Superspy doesn’t spend some time in the water, eh? Of course, these aren’t spy goggles but they are pretty good at giving you up to date information about your swim without the need to stop and check a watch or have someone else shouting stats at you when you get to the end of your length…
You can choose what data to see and which eye lense to display it in (handy if, like me, you have one strong eye and one not so great) and can choose to show time, distance and pace as well as set your chosen swimming style. The goggles will track how far along you are and can act pretty much as a coach, including recommended rest times and even progress updates that give you encouraging messages part way through – well, I count being told I’m on the final stretch as an encouraging message anyway! As well as this, you can link the goggles up via Bluetooth to the App and sync your swims – they’re also compatible with Smart watches from Apple and Garmin if you have those already.
The goggles themselves are solidly built with FDA-Certified silicone around the lenses and 7 different bridges provided along with adjustable straps so you can get your fit just right. A special chemical coating on the inside prevents fog build up so you can always see the data you need and the battery life is good at about 16 hours. And for those who don’t just swim in safe, comfortable pools? Well, you can also use these in open water so improving your swim for that next triathlon is even easier. RRP £249
