Hey swimmers, have you ever wished your goggles could keep up with your wildest aquatic adventures? Well, FORM has heard your cries and delivered something pretty cool with their latest release: the Smart Swim 2 Pro. It’s been just over a year since their second-gen goggles hit the scene, and now they’re back with an upgrade that’s all about toughness—perfect for those of you who love to take on the open water.

If you’re new to the world of smart swimming goggles, let me break it down for you. These aren’t your grandma’s foggy old specs. FORM’s goggles come with a tiny built-in display—think of it like a heads-up display from a sci-fi movie—that shows you real-time stats right in your line of sight. Lap times, heart rate, stroke rate—you name it, it’s there, keeping you in the know without breaking your rhythm. Since FORM splashed onto the scene in 2016, they’ve been the go-to for swimmers who want tech to match their passion.

The Smart Swim 2 Pro, which dropped on July 15, takes this concept and toughens it up. The big headline? They’ve swapped in Gorilla Glass 3 lenses. Yep, the same stuff you might find protecting your smartphone screen. According to Corning, the folks who make it, Gorilla Glass 3 is engineered to shrug off scratches and cracks better than its predecessors. For swimmers, especially those braving the unpredictable waves of open water, that’s a game-changer. Rocks, sand, or just the wear and tear of constant use—these lenses are built to take it all in stride. Sure, it adds a gram or two to the weight, but when you’re dodging nature’s elbows, that’s a small price to pay for peace of mind.

Now, let’s talk about something every swimmer dreads: foggy goggles. You’re halfway through a killer set, and suddenly it’s like swimming through a cloud. FORM could’ve stuck with their existing coating and called it a day, but they went a different route with the Smart Swim 2 Pro.

Instead of a permanent coating that might fade, they’ve included a little bottle of anti-fog spray. Here’s the kicker: it’s just diluted baby shampoo. FORM’s tested the perfect water-to-shampoo ratio for crystal-clear vision, and they’ve even marked the bottle with refill lines so you can keep it going with your own supply. No fancy chemicals, no overpriced refills—just a simple, effective fix. It’s the kind of practical thinking that makes you wonder why no one’s done it this way before.

FORM isn’t just beefing up the hardware—they’re doubling down on the smarts, too. If you’re a premium subscriber (or thinking about becoming one), the Smart Swim 2 Pro comes with some slick new features. They’re rolling out data-driven program planning and personalized improvement tips, turning your goggles into a full-on training partner. Want to know where your stroke’s lagging or how to shave seconds off your pace? The app’s got you covered.

And here’s a stat that caught my eye: FORM says premium users see 1.4 times the speed gains compared to those just using the hardware alone. That’s not just marketing fluff—it’s proof that pairing the goggles with their software can seriously level up your swim game. Whether you’re training for a triathlon or just want to impress your pool buddies, that’s some real motivation to dive into the premium tier.

So, how much is this upgraded aquatic tech going to set you back? The Smart Swim 2 Pro retails for $329 in the US, $449 in Canada, and €329 in Europe. It’s not cheap, I’ll give you that. But when you stack up the durability of Gorilla Glass, the clever anti-fog solution, and the smart features that sync with apps like TrainingPeaks or FORM’s own platform, it starts to look like a solid investment. For open-water warriors or data-obsessed pool swimmers, this could be the gear that keeps you going longer and swimming smarter.

Oh, and speaking of syncing, these goggles play nice with a bunch of swimming apps, so you can track your progress over time. It’s not just about one swim—it’s about building a story of improvement, lap by lap.
