FORM Smart Swim Goggles
I can think of one dude who does not need a pair of FORM Smart Swim Goggles: this dude. I am man enough to admit that I'm not the most elegant stroker (well, unless we're talking about Paco's Taco) and what I mean by that is my crawl looks like a flail, my backstroke like a meager attempt not to drown, my breaststroke like a poor soul having a seizure, and my butterfly...WTF is the butterfly? It's like the worm meets Dracula spreading his cape for takeoff. I can't even make my brain compute doing those two dissonant movements simultaneously.
But you. Maybe you're a swell swimmer. A triathlete, or someone whose swim team his mama forced him to join for a summer as a kid didn't have to create a new slowest heat just for him. Maybe you're the kind of water trainer and lap pool warrior who could really benefit from FORM Goggles' see-through smart display and 12 customizable metrics.
Attached to the side of one of FORM's contoured silicone eye seals is a tiny sensor and projector designed to take the place of your activity tracker in the water. The device can count laps, plus record and display split times, stroke rate/count, pace per 100, pace per 50, distance, and calories. Paired with Polar OH1 or OH1+ heart rate sensors, FORM goggles will also output live heart rate metrics.
The FORM Swim App records all of your metrics as you swim for review and tracking out of the pool and over time. You can sync your workouts to Strava, TrainingPeaks, and Apple Health.
FORM Goggles have a permanent chemical-resistant anti-fog treatment, and come with 7 nose bridge sizes and an adjustable silicone strap. The smart sensor and display device are waterproof up to 32'.
