These goggles are proving VERY popular with our readers!
The recently updated FORM smart swim 2 goggles allow you to see your swim activity, stats and training plan inside the lens of the goggle, as you swim! There is structured workout support for these head-up display swim goggles, as well as Open water support when paired with a Garmin watch or Apple watch.
This ability to monitor your activity and performance while you are swimming is an amazing technological advance, mirrored by the Holoswim goggles. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

This new feature allows you to pick your workout from a library of workouts, and then the goggles will take you through each step, noting the specified intensity and stroke information – all in real-time.
This feature is available for all FORM swim goggles. But it’s not free. You need to pay for a monthly or annual subscription. However, the company offers a free 30-day trial to test things out, and there is a 12 month warranty.
When your goggles arrive, they come in a box as pictured below. You will need the FORM app on your smart phone. All the information to get started is displayed on the screen. There is a Workout tab at the bottom of the screen. You can select up to 5 workouts to add to your goggles at a time.
It is not easy to see the display in bright daylight, and almost impossible to photograph! However, when you put the goggles on, the display is very clear and bright. The display takes you through each stage of the workout, with the bars at the bottom to show your progress.
SO, the Form 2 Goggles have a head-up display inside the lens, and let you monitor what's going on as you swim - you don't have to stop to look at your watch. Here's a list of the main features;
So, what's not to like? There are a couple of issues to take into account when you are considering these goggles;
Is it really better than just checking your watch every few lengths? That depends on you. To my mind, the big advantage is having a training plan library that you can see right in front of your eyes. You don't have to keep stopping to check a training plan print-out at the side of the pool.
For me, it's worth it!
