Makes Swimming fun again!

I bought these to give my laps a boost! It sure did. Goggles fit and don’t leak and the smart goggle features are wonderful especially the built in workouts! Great job with this product!

Brilliant Tech, but Demoralizing for Older Swimmers

As a lifelong, active competitive swimmer now training at 80 years old, I bought these smart goggles the second I saw them in Dubai. Physically and technically, they are a masterpiece. My individual stroke metrics—like head pitch and roll—consistently score between 70 and 90.However, FORM’s overall "Form Score" has a massive blind spot: it does not account for age-based pacing metrics. At 80, my 50-yard freestyle pace has naturally gone from 45 seconds to 1:15. Because the algorithm treats a senior masters swimmer the same as a 25-year-old, my overall score is permanently stuck in the 20s. It is incredibly ego-deflating to finish a highly efficient, excellent workout—especially while recently recovering from surgery—only to be insulted by an unyielding algorithm.Building an age-adjusted baseline into fitness software is basic data science. I have formally escalated this issue through FORM’s product support channels twice over the past year. While the support team was highly professional and promised to pass the feedback up the ladder, the engineering team has failed to act. FORM is an otherwise highly likable, innovative Canadian company—please update your software so that older athletes who swim hard can feel motivated, not penalized, by your metrics.

モチベーションが上がる

有料プラン未加入なのにアプリのデザインや使いやすさから見るととても良い。
毎回、トレーニング後、多くのデータや統計を確認できて高いモチベーションを維持するにはとても良い。
ただ、場合によってゴーグルの同期後、データが若干ずれるから5つ星付けれない。

App to Garmin issues

Love the goggles, but wish the connectivity for GPS to garmin watches worked better. My Venu 4 won’t connect.

Subscription required - Highway robbery

Just setting up the goggles in this app requires an active subscription. Even if you can cancel without payment you are forced to start it - handing over your info to yet another company. Why would anybody pay $120 a year to see their heart rate info. Coaching stuff is a joke.

Form goggles

Great piece of kit and lots of data - would highly recommend

IM swim is no longer as exhausting

I’ve been doing triathlons since 2008 and a swim, remained one of my biggest challenges as zigzag the entire course and now I feel much more confident in that I don’t have to always be anxious about where the buoy is

Everything is behind a subscription

Frustrating to pay so much for the goggles only to have to pay a monthly fee.

Freaking awesome 🤩🤩🤩

This thing actually works! I had doubts buying the goggles which need monthly subscription to use them, but this premium headcoach is awesome 👏
It monitors your technique and provides really good feedback about your skills and how to improve them. The trainings it creates are great, like you hire a real coach, and maybe even better. So $15/m for this coach comparing to a human one is nothing 💦💦💦

良し悪し

全般的に満足しているけど、二つの改善が欲しい。
1️⃣せっかく、多くのデータを収集できるけどiPhoneの縦と小さい画面で読みにくいからiPad用版の作成が欲しい。
2️⃣ワークアウトの作成は自然ではなく最初、かなり苦戦していた。例、事前選択から選べるようにしてくればもっと簡単になる。

Form

Not for me.

Theoretically a a good app…

… but hardly any functionality without Premium, not even my own workouts.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. Workouts are a Premium Features, along with our other coaching and guidance features.

Problems - don’t buy

‘Update required’ - I can’t use the goggles because that’s all it says. I have emailed form and they are useless, I google the problem and that doesn’t help. They are a complete waste of money.

DON’T BY!!!!

Dark patterns!

There is no way to proceed to free features in the FTUE! It forces you to sign up for premium then cancel. What a low integrity app design. I can’t believe this passed Apple’s app review

Abozwang vom übelsten

Es ist unmöglich die App ohne ein teures Abo zu installieren. Man muss erst abonnieren und dann kann man es kündigen (hoffe ich). Die Brille war ein Geschenk, sonst wäre sie heute direkt zurückgeschickt worden. Ich bin stinksauer.

Forced Premium

I would love to try the goggles, but I cannot get past the forced premium payment options, that I don’t want; nor do I want to sign up and immediately cancel. So I cannot set them up. Awaiting developer response to correct the app.

Incredible

Brilliant app and training tool for swimming, really happy with my goggles

Great

I love these goggles

Little disappointed

Though watch is good , swim straight feature is good but my open water sea route is not showing .. it’s like pool water types only how to fix it don’t able to understand..

Payment needed

This app and company is ridiculous I was hoping to just buy the goggles and track my calories for swim very quickly. But you need to put in your card information and buy the membership before you can even activate your goggles to turn on. Completely ridiculous and a money scheme from form. I am not comfortable putting my card information into an app and I already payed like 200 bucks for these dumb goggles anyways. The fact you need to buy a membership to even activate the goggles is a sin. And abhorrence.
