Thanks so much for your review!Unfinished product with serious shortcomings
I have been using the goggles regularly for both pool and OW swims. Both with Apple Watch and Garmin connect as the goggles when used for OW simply function as a display while the Watch control the recording and swim.
1. Current pace not available, only average page for entire workout
2. HR displayed after pausing workout is wrong, both in FORM app and goggles. Heart rate shown is 20 BPM above actual rate and when examine using the FORM app the entire second half of the swim has HR increased by 20 BPM compared to first half.
In short totally unreliable data.
Furthermore this kind of errors are obvious software bugs and reveals that the goggles have not been tested properly when used for OW swims.
The only thing the goggles can be used for during OW swim is to display the total distance.Show lessSehested

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry for any inaccurate data you're seeing. Please note that if you are using the goggles connected to an Apple Watch for open water swimming, the data is being displayed by the FORM goggles but collected by the Watch. We recommend reaching out to Apple if you are seeing any inaccuracies in open water with an Apple Watch.Will Never Swim Without My FORM Goggles!
These puppies are amazing! The AR display helps me track my laps and splits and times and distance and calories. WHILE I swim! It’s amazing and I love them. Plus, their customer service is excellent. 10/10 thank you FORM! Legiiiiiit.finleywise
Buyer Beware - Subscription Required to Use Goggles
I have these googles and they are pretty neat. I’m fortunate to be grandfathered in and the workouts features are nice. I’m very disappointed that Form decided to move to a subscription model for any future users. You CAN NOT use these goggles without a subscription now.
The subscription is on par with the cost of a Peleton subscription and more than Zwift or Wahoo Systm, and provides way less value.
See below the email I received from FORM.
If you purchased your goggles before May 26, your FORM experience won't change. But we wanted to let you know what's changing for swimmers who purchase after May 26. Real-time metrics in pool, open water, and swim spa are now part of the FORM membership. New swimmers will be required to have an active membership to access this and all member features.Show lesssomedudeintn

We're sorry to hear this. We see that the issue has now been resolved and we apologize for the inconvenience.Needs the Ability to Create Custom Workouts
The googles are great! The app is also clean and easy to use. However, as a competitive swimmer many of the workouts are very simple. I would like the ability to create my own workouts so then I have complete control on the workouts and then could align with my workout schedule.Sir.Fusion

Thank you for your feedback and review!Doesn’t Push Data to Garmin Connect
I was really disappointed to learn the collected data from the Form Goggles cannot be pushed to Garmin Connect. Form should take a look at how Zwift (for cycling) does it because it cannot be that hard!
UPDATE:
Response from Form: “Unfortunately this is due to a limitation from Garmin's side and we are not able to send them our data.”
My Response:
First, thank you for responding, it shows Form cares about customer satisfaction. However, Zwift (and I’m sure others) seems to send data to Garmin Connect just fine, how is this Garmin’s limitation?
BTW, I’ve been a developer for 25 years so I can understand technical limitations between disparate systems but if other platforms are pushing data to Garmin, the problem is most likely NOT them.Show lesspmcgowen99

Thanks for your feedback. Unfortunately this is due to a limitation from Garmin's side where they only allow certain companies to integrate with their platform and we are not able to send them our data. You can still export your swims in FIT or CSV format to upload to Garmin Connect. Please reach out to us if you have any questions.Awesome with a small miss
Form is the best in swimming metrics. The display quality and comfort of the googles are uniquely awesome, as well as the app! The only missing feature to be able set a certain distance to reach for the ability to count down and show the remaining distance. This is a base for a long distance swimmer.Show lessAndras Bakos

Thanks for sharing these comments; we'll pass your feedback on to the product team!Overall very good
Love the goggles and the app. There is one setback, though. I really miss the option to search trainings by name and add them to the list of favourites. I believe those two functions would greatly improve the overall usability and experience.DmitrySalenko
