Everything you need for your favorite sport.


If running with a smartwatch has already become a habit, swimming with cutting-edge technology is becoming the new standard, imagine glasses that show your pace or heart rate, distance and even the number of strokes while you cut through the water. All this without having to stop to check your cell phone or watch.


The Canadian company Form has just raised the level of aquatic training with the new version of the Smart Swim 2 PRO. Smart glasses with augmented reality integrated into the lenses and Gorilla Glass protection for swimmers who do not want to lose time or performance.


These goggles combine robust hardware with a direct-on-lens headup display, allowing swimmers to see real-time information such as heart rate, pace, lap time, distance, calories, stroke count, and even efficiency analysis with distance per stroke.




Do not interfere with the swimmer's field of vision.


The screen is clear, illuminated and discreet, designed not to interfere with the visual field, even in open water, an optical sensor near the temple guarantees heart rate measurement without the need for bracelets or chest straps, the connection with the form app expands control and allows you to transform training sheets and guided visual sessions directly into the glasses.


The durability of the Pro version is guaranteed by Gorilla Glass that is more resistant to scratches and has a longer-lasting anti-fog effect, according to Form, just use a simple mixture of water and baby shampoo to maintain ideal visibility.


The battery lasts up to 14 hours and in emergency mode 10 minutes of charging ensures 2 more hours of use. The Smart Swim 2 PRO can be paired with Apple Watch or Garmin devices, even displaying GPS data such as pace per 100 m, plus the internal digital compass helps the swimmer stay in the right direction in non-GPS environments such as lakes or open sea.


The only point that generated criticism was the subscription model, to access the more advanced features such as guided training plans and the digital compass, you need to pay $15 per month or $99 per year.
