FORM Smart Swim 2 - Goggles

The FORM Smart Swim 2 - Goggles are the most advanced open water swim goggles in the Sports & Fitness category, combining heads-up display technology with precision GPS and swim metrics. Our verdict: these goggles are a game-changer for serious open water swimmers who want real-time data without a smartwatch.

Who it's for

These goggles are designed for dedicated triathletes, competitive open water swimmers, and fitness swimmers who track distance, pace, and stroke rate. They are less suited for casual pool users or beginners on a budget.

• Triahtletes training for open water legs
• Swimmers who dislike wearing a watch during swims
• Data-driven athletes wanting real-time feedback
• Adventure swimmers navigating unfamiliar routes

Key features & specs

How it compares

Compared to standard open water goggles like the Speedo Vanquisher or Arena Cobra, the FORM Smart Swim 2 offers far more data but at a higher price point. It competes directly with the FINIS Smart Goggle but wins on display clarity and app integration.

What to know before buying

1. Ensure your smartphone is compatible with the FORM Swim app (iOS 14+ or Android 8+).
2. Calibrate the goggles in a pool before your first open water swim for accurate distance tracking.
3. Charge fully before use — a 2-hour charge gives 16 hours of swim time.
4. Rinse with fresh water after every saltwater or chlorinated swim to prevent lens damage.
5. Use the included earplugs if you are sensitive to cold water.

“I use these for open water triathlon training and they are incredible—no more guessing my pace or distance. The heads-up display is clear even in bright sunlight. My only wish is longer battery for marathon swims. — Verified buyer”

Sustainability & ethics

FORM uses a silicone frame and polycarbonate lenses, both non-animal materials. The packaging is minimal recycled cardboard. The brand has no specific eco-certifications but is cruelty-free and vegan.
