In 2019, Form launched a pair of goggles with a built-in display showing real-time data when you swim<\/a>. Given how many things the company got right the first time around, the word of the day for its successor, the Smart Swim 2<\/a>, is refinement. But a handful of incremental improvements also means there’s no scream-from-the-rooftops reason to upgrade.<\/p>\n Smart Swim is a pair of fancy swim goggles with a chunky box (the \u201ctech pack\u201d) attached to one eye cup and a crystal in the corresponding lens. With it, you can see your statistics like your heart rate, distance, split times and more on a waveguide display without ever having to break your cadence.<\/p>\n Plenty about Swim 2 is carried over from the first model, including the two-button user interface, display resolution (72 x 40) and many of the internals. The addition of the heart rate sensor (which the company says has been tweaked to work well in water) has shaved down the battery life down to 12 hours from 16. But I\u2019m not sure that\u2019s a real issue unless you\u2019re planning on swimming the English Channel.<\/p>\n Instead, Form has nipped and tucked at the existing model, with the tech pack being 15 percent smaller than its predecessor. Comfort and fit have also been worked on, with longer, more adjustable straps and a broader range of swappable nose bridges. Oh, and there were a couple of features that Form built into the first-generation hardware that have, until now, remained dormant. More on that later.<\/p>\n History<\/strong><\/p>\n
