Questions and answers of the customers

Q Can you see the display doing backstroke in Bright sun
A The goggle lenses are not polarized but they are slightly tinted and mirrored for comfort in bright sun conditions. Additionally, the display brightness can be adjusted for different light situations as you may need to increase the brightness of the display depending on the sunlight.
Q La batería es de reemplazo o recargable con adaptador? Es compatible con el garmin fД“nix 6 sapphire? Anti empaño?
A La batería es recargable con adaptador. Aunque tengo el Garmin 6 nunca lo he sincronizado.. pero no es necesario. En connect comoquiera aparecen los entrenamientos.
Q How durable are they? Can someone who has owned them and used them for more than a year answer please?
A I've had them for a bout a year and as long as I keep them charged, no problem. Love them. Have improved my mile time dramatically
Q Is it compitable with forerunner xt735?
A No, we can’t support the 735XT watch because, despite it supporting ConnectIQ data fields, it doesn’t allow data fields to use BLE and that’s how our connection between the watch and goggles works. You can still use the goggles on their own in open water. This lets you track your time and real time stroke rate while you swim, and if you have the Polar Verity Sense or OH1/OH1 + sensor, you can monitor your heart rate in real time. You would also be able to review your average stroke rate and calories in the workout summary after you saved your swim.
Q Is the paid app worh $10 a month?
A Using the app is free. If you would like to access Workouts, then you can sign up for membership through the app. We have a limited time offer for the plans- annual plan is at $9.99USD per month (with the year paid in one payment) or monthly is at $14.99USD. We also have a 30 day free trial for everyone!
Q This goggles have worked well during the first dozens of swims but now they are leaking water from looseness at the outer edges. Can this be repaired?
A We're sorry to hear that you are having issues with the goggles leaking at the outer edges. The goggles were designed to be hydrodynamic and to fit most adult faces. Have you tried out all the nose bridges and adjusting the head strap? We recommend to try all nose bridges, sometimes it's the size you least expect that fits best. Usually changing the nose bridge and adjusting the strap resolves leaking issues. You can also check that the eye seals are still properly attached since they are held in place only using tension. If you see a gap between the lens and the eye seal, you can push the eye seal back into the groove with your fingernail.FORM Support
Q is a subscription required to access the lap count, distance, etc?
A Not at all! You do NOT need a subscription at all to access lap swimming, distance, times, intervals etc. These goggles are an amazing piece of technology - I would highly recommend them to everyone
Q I lost the charger cable, how can I purchase one?
A You can purchase one from Amazon by visiting our Amazon store or searching "FORM charging cable"!
Q Can wear to bed? Or have to remove like denture?
A kinky ... I like it!Sure, you can.
Q How well does this work with swimming in a swim spa?
A Just fine. As long as you're swimming in water it will work.
Q How long does it take to fully charge them?
A It should take roughly an hour to charge the goggles to 80% from 0%.
Q Does this work with breast strokes or only freestyle typ styles
A It’s supposed to work for all styles but we found it didn’t track laps as well as expected even for freestyle and backstroke. The display and info was outstanding - if they can get the lap count and pace data more accurate it will be well worth the money.
Q Can you use it at a meet?
A FORM Smart Swim Goggles are explicitly prohibited by USA Swimming (and FINA). 102.8.1.E "No swimmer is permitted to wear or use any device, substance or swimsuit to help his/her speed, pace, buoyancy or endurance during a race".
Q Can I replace the lithium ion batteries when it eventually dies and won’t recharge anymore?
A The battery itself cannot be replaced. The battery should last a very long time though and we encourage swimmers to reach out to our Support team if they have any issues.
Q Can it sync with Oura ring?
A No, it can connect with some compatible Garmin and Apple Watches for open water swimming. You can also export your swims to services like Strava, TrainingPeaks, Apple Health etc.
Q Will these goggles track number of laps in a small pool (36 feet) if they are set to “pool length unknown”? Thanks
A If set to an unknown pool length, the goggles track time, number of lengths, split time and calories. If your pool is shorter than 16.5 yards or 15 meters, you can also use the goggles Swim Spa mode. This lets you track your time, real-time stroke rate and calories.
Q Do these goggles work with samsung phones?
A Yes, the goggles can connect via the FORM Swim App to Samsung phones with Android version 6.0 or higher.
Q Does this come with Charger or it needs to be purchased separately?
A It comes with it's own charger and case as well as additional nose clips. It does not come with the heart monitor but does have the heart monitor clip holder attached.
Q Does this have built in headphones, if not can anyone recommend a good set of waterproof Bluetooth headphones I can use while swimming laps?
A The FORM goggles don't have any built-in audio, sorry!
Q I have a swim spa. for the army i need to swim 1000m in a set time. well this help me know how far i swim and if i got it done in the time needed?
A If you are swimming in one of our partner swim spas (Jacuzzi swim spas: PowerActive, PowerPro. Hydropool swim spas: Sport, AquaTrainer, Executive. ThermoSpas swim spas: Platinum, Diamond. Swimlife swim spas: Fit, Expert) then you can select the speed you are swimming at and you will see distance information in the goggles, along with time. If it's another brand of swim spa, you would see time and real time stroke rate.
Q Do these goggles show time? Would be nice to have that and not look for a clock outside the water.
A Yes, you can select a clock/timer as one of the metrics displayed in the goggles during your swim. In the app you can choose which metrics to display during your swim. The goggles display three different screens - while swimming, turning and resting - and you can change the metrics for each of them to include the timer.
Q Are they Polarized?
A The lenses are not polarized, but they are mirrored with a light grey tint for comfort. Furthermore, the display brightness can be adjusted for different light situations. The lenses also have the same permanent, chemical-resistant anti-fog that’s used in diving masks.
Q Is a fitness tracker required to use these goggles? I am buying for someone that will download an app but will never buy a fitness watch.
A Rest assured, a fitness tracker or smartwatch is not required to use the goggles. The goggles work great in the pool on their own. They track and display your metrics (including stroke rate, stroke count, distance, number of lengths, distance per stroke and pace) and sync your metrics with a phone or tablet.You can also use the goggles on their own in open water. This lets you track your time and real time stroke rate while you swim. You would also be able to review your average stroke rate and calories in the workout summary after you saved your swim.In both the pool and open water, you can also connect the Polar OH1/OH1 + sensor to monitor your heart rate in real time.
Q Can this work if the head movement is minimized by using a snorkel during lap swimming ?
A If you are using a snorkel, the head movement will be minimal so the goggles may think you are resting. You can use drills mode for most modified exercises but if the goggles do not detect head movement, they will lapse into rest.
Q After a swim and i hit save and quit. can i turn the goggles off and sync them with my app later? or do i have to sync before i power them down?
A Once you have saved and quit the swim, you can hold down the front button for 3-5 seconds to turn off the goggles. Once you are ready to sync your swim, open the app on your phone when you have internet access and turn on the goggles so that the swim syncs across.
Q The goggles won’t charge and are not working. What do I do?
A Email them. I had questions about getting started & learning how to get info from the goggles to my phone. They were quite responsive.
Q Open water direction - does the display provide real time direction in an open water swim.
A The goggles cannot display direction or compass heading. We'll pass your suggestion to the product team, though!
Q Does form offer a large version similar in size to aquasphere's? i don't want welts around my eyes... kind of a deal-breaker.
A Sorry but we just have the one size of model. We do provide seven nose bridge sizes and a fully adjustable strap to help with fit, though!
Q Has anyone used them with SWMp3 player attached?
A Not me. Maybe I am not nerdy enough. The googles really do help me focus on bench marking my sub times and each lap as I swim a mile.
Q Vienen con formula de correccion visual? Es compatible con garmin swin 2?
A No tienen corrección visual, lo sentimos! Las gafas no se pueden conectar con el Garmin Swim 2 porque este reloj no tiene Connect IQ data fields. Se puede utilizar las gafas sin reloj en aguas abiertas para ver su tiempo y ritmo de brazadas!
Q I have a garmin forerunner 935. would the form goggles be compatible since the earlier and later versions of the forerunner are?
A The reason we can’t support the 935 is that despite it supporting ConnectIQ data fields, it doesn’t allow data fields to use BLE and that’s how our connection between the watch and goggles works.You can still use the goggles on their own in open water. This lets you track your time and real time stroke rate while you swim, and if you have the Polar OH1/OH1 + sensor, you can monitor your heart rate in real time. You would also be able to review your average stroke rate and calories in the workout summary after you saved your swim.
Q If the plastic googles get scratched over time, can they be replaced or do I have to buy a new product? I am usually getting a new pair per season.
A The FORM goggles were built to last a long time with the right care. We recommend rinsing the goggles thoroughly after each use then leaving them to air dry before storing them in the case. We don't recommend touching or wiping the inside of the lenses so as to avoid scratching the lens or disrupting the anti fog coating. We do also sell replacement non-display lenses.
Q Does it display to both eyes? Or do you have a left-eye display? I am blind in the right eye...
A The display can be worn over either eye. Per default it is set to the right eye but you can change it to the left eye in the goggles directly or in the app.
Q Can it read heartrate data from the garmin swim or tri chest strap or is it locked to polar only??
A As it stand right now, pool swim reads heart rate only from Polar OH heart rate sensor. Open water swimming mode only reads heart rate from Garmin(approved list) or Apple Watch(3 and above). The Garmin hrm straps are Ant+ and can only transmit about an inch or two. In open water the watches can transmit when the watch goes above water and the Form receive side is above water. In future I could see Form allowing wrist optical heart rate from watch during pool swimming.
Q Can i get live hr and calories for pool swim? i have an apple watch 5.
A You can connect a smartwatch, including the Apple Watch 5, for open water swims but not for pool swims. Calories (as well as many other metrics) can be recorded and displayed by the goggles alone in a pool. If you wish to see heart rate in the pool, you can connect a Polar OH1/OH1 + in the mounting clip we provide for the goggles strap.
Q What do I do when the display stops functioning? I tried rebooting and a hard reset and nothing brings back the display. It is fully charged
A Sorry to hear that! We take quality very seriously and want you to have a pair of goggles you love. Please reach out to us directly so we can help you with this issue!
Q Showing lap count on turn screen, is it possible to add? May be it's possible to add lap counter option on turn screen?
A Yes, you can add the length count on the turn screen dashboard! Please contact FORM Support if you need any help setting that up.
Q i have not heard of 'permanent chemical-resistant anti-fog', not even from professional >$50 googles. Do they really not fog, even after a year?
A The length of life of the anti-fog depends on the level of care the goggles receive. We recommend always rinsing them with clean cool water after use and storing them in their case when dry to ensure the longest life possible.
Q In the lap mode, is it possible to see hr all the time. i tried today the goggles with polar oh+)
A Yes, you can choose heart rate, heart rate zone or heart rate & zone as the bottom metric in your lap swim dashboard. Please reach out to us if you need help setting this up.
Q Have anyone tried it with zionor snorkel lap swimming ?
A If you are using equipment, such as a snorkel, we recommend using drills mode to record your swim as the goggles are set up to identify the four main swim strokes swum without equipment.
Q I swim above water a lot, (swimming helps my rotator cuff recovery from surgery), will it still work above water?
A The goggles detect the four main stroke types: breaststroke, free, back and butterfly. If you swim with your head above water, this will mean that the movement will be harder to detect for the goggles (since they rely on head movement to know what you are doing). If you find this happening, please reach out to the support team for advice.
Q Does it explicitely show number of laps swimmed ? I didn't see laps number among metrics.
A Yes! You can choose that as one if your interval or lap metrics on your dashboard. Please contact us if you’re having trouble finding how to do that!
Q Do they protect from sun glare?
A The lenses are slightly tinted but they do not have specific coatings for sun glare
Q Does it work well for open water?
A Updated response, July 2020: The goggles now support open water swimming. You can connect a compatible smartwatch to see distance, pace and heart rate (if compatibility allows). You can also use the goggles on their own in open water. This lets you track your time and real time stroke rate while you swim, and if you have the Polar OH1/OH1 + sensor, you can monitor your heart rate in real time. You would also be able to review your average stroke rate and calories in the workout summary after you saved your swim.
Q Will these googles track metrics (pace, distance) in open water swims, or just in a pool, utilizing an accelerometer/gyroscope and lap length?
A Updated response, July 2020: The goggles now support open water swimming. You can connect a compatible smartwatch to see distance, pace and heart rate (if compatibility allows). You can also use the goggles on their own in open water. This lets you track your time and real time stroke rate while you swim, and if you have the Polar OH1/OH1 + sensor, you can monitor your heart rate in real time. You would also be able to review your average stroke rate and calories in the workout summary after you saved your swim.
Q Are these the new form swim goggles for open water swimming with gps? if not do you sell the new ones??
A The open water features are a software and firmware update to the current model. You would just need to download the latest version of the app and then sync your goggles to the app to update them!
Q Does it come with optical lens?
A The goggles don't come with prescription lenses, sorry! Some of our swimmers need vision correction but are still able to see the metrics as the display is floating in front of your eyes and doesn't need to be focused on.
Q Is there a minimum pool length? What is the lowest length that can be set?
A The minimum pool length is 15m/16.5y. Some swimmers use the goggles in smaller pools by setting their pool length as "unknown." This lets you track your time while you swim, and if you have the Polar OH1/OH1 + sensor, you can monitor your heart rate in real time. You would also be able to review your split time when you turn and your rest time and calories when you rest.
Q Do these work when swimming with a tether
A Although you wouldn't be able to get distance data, since you are not swimming laps, some of our swimmers use the goggles in endless pools or with a tether by setting their pool length as "unknown." This lets you track your time while you swim, and if you have the Polar OH1/OH1 + sensor, you can monitor your heart rate in real time. You would also be able to review your rest time and calories when you rest.
Q Is it compatible with scosche heart rate monitors? the one i have has bluetooth and ant+ comm protocols. will this work?
A The goggles are compatible with Polar OH1/OH1 + heart rate monitors. Once we launch the new open water features, if you pair a compatible watch that has heart rate capabilities, you'll also be able to see that in the goggles.
Q Is it waterproof?
A Yes! The goggles are waterproof and can be used up to a depth of 10m.
Q Can you see the display if you need vision correction for reading up close?
A The display is floating out in front of your eyes so you don't need to focus on it. A lot of our swimmers need vision correction and are still able to see the display clearly!
Q Can you turn the display on and off during swimming if you don't want to see it the entire time?
A Yes, you can! When you go to set up the swim dashboard, you can instead toggle it off so that you only see the dashboard when turning or resting.
Q Is this returnable if I give as a gift and they don’t like it?
A yes
Q What is the Return policy?
A ez
Q Heart rate sensor is always disconnecting while I swim, and I can only see the heart rate reading in resting time. Does anybody have same problem?
A I have not experienced any issues. Still not 100% accurate but pretty good. On average is 10 to 5% lower than actual. Make sure you keep the sensor close to the from on/off switch. It has to touch the skin (no cap or hair obstructing)
Q Could you use swimming stationary in a swim spa?
A The goggles are built for pool training. Some swimmers still use the goggles in endless pools by setting their pool length as "unknown." This lets you track your time while you swim, and if you have the Polar OH1/OH1 + sensor, you can monitor your heart rate in real time. You would also be able to review your time, stroke rate/count, and calories when you rest.
Q Does this track total cumulative distance for swim including kick drills?
A Yes! Whether you are doing laps, intervals or drills, you will see the total time and distance in the app, and also broken down by swim mode.
Q is this myopic swimming goggles?
A I have had a bad experience with these goggles. The inside foam came out and it cannot he back in so these are basically worthless now.
Q Do these goggles track distance while using a kick board?
A If you are doing kick drills, you can use 'drills mode' on the goggles. This will allow you to see the time as you swim then, at the end, you'll see the distance and can adjust it as needed.
Q Can you dive off a block with these goggles?
A Some of our users jump off the block with the goggles and have a great experience. However, our goggles work best when you push off the wall, and we don’t officially recommend diving with them.
Q does it recharge also at 220volt?
A The charging cable we supply has a USB port so can be plugged into a computer USB or an adapter for wall charging.
Q Is there an open water setting which measures your distance?
A The goggles are designed for pool training, and they don't measure distance. For pool use, you would enter the pool size and the goggles would count how many laps you do (thereby calculating distance). Some swimmers still use the goggles in open water by setting their pool length as "unknown." This lets you track your time while you swim, and if you have the Polar OH1/OH1 + sensor, you can monitor your heart rate in real time. You would also be able to review your time, stroke rate/count, and calories when you rest.
Q Can other people see the screen
A The screen can only be seen by the wearer of the goggles, it cannot be viewed from the other side of the lens.
Q Does this include the OH1 clip or how to go to website to order it?
A I read new shipments will come with a clip; if you have one without contact Form customer service and they’ll set you up.
Q Existe una ampliacion de garantia
A Hola Desconozco si hay ampliación de la garantía
Q how many lumens is the brightness?
A The display is daylight readable and the brightness can be adjusted for indoor and outdoor pools.
Q Would like to see a Company response to reviews that indicate quality issues (stops working, strap breaks). How are you managing these issues?
A Thanks for your question - apologies for the delayed response, this didn't show up in our Seller Central. We have a one year warranty for manufacturing defects, so the customer can reach out to us through our site or through Amazon for help. We also have replacement parts available for anyone who breaks or misplaces a part of the goggles. We stand behind the quality of our goggles and we have lots of happy customers! You can check out the reviews on our site, too! - FORM Support
Q What happens if they leak or the normal google part gets messed up is that under warranty?
A If the goggles leak, it’s likely that the fit isn’t quite right. In this case, we recommend swapping out the nose bridge for a different size, or adjusting the strap for a more snug fit. For spare parts, we will soon have them available to purchase on our site, in case of breakage or loss.The warranty covers any manufacturing defect for one year from ship date.
Q Ok we just purchased these goggles for my 11 year old. He said that the timer keeps going even when he stops.
A The goggles work using a gyroscope and an ultra-compact onboard computer to understand and interpret a swimmer's movements. If the timer is continuing to count, this means the goggles are still detecting movement. We recommend making sure that your son makes sure to stop moving when he is resting, so that the goggles detect a rest and stop the swim timer. We also replied to your private message about this, so please let us know if you have any further questions!
Q Does the protection plan include theft?
A The warranty offered through the manufacturer (FORM) covers manufacturing defects for one year from the ship date. Amazon may offer something outside of these parameters, but we recommend checking with them for more details.
Q Is the display readable if your swimming at night in open water?
A Yes
Q available with prescription lenses?
A The goggles are not able to hold a prescription lens. If you are able to see the pool without vision correction, you will also be able to see the metrics. However, if you need vision correction for swimming, the goggles would not be able to be adapted to your required prescription. We have many users who need vision correction and are able to see the metrics just fine though!
Q Will the heart monitor be compatible with this model? can i buy it as an add-on accessory? or should i wait to buy in dec when its bundled together?
A Heart rate support will be launched early December and will be compatible with this model - it will just be a software update. To use heart rate monitoring, you will need a Polar OH1 or OH1 + which will attach to the goggle strap with a special clip. The clip can be requested through our website once the feature is launched.
Q Is it able to show heart rate?
A The new heart rate feature is being released early December! This will be in partnership with Polar and their OH1 and OH1 + heart rate monitors.
Q Is the pace per 100 in real time (i.e. via GPS) or is it computed on the basis of laps (computed after a tumble turn)?
A The pace per 50 or 100 is calculated for the previous length (or current interval for intervals mode). Any kind of turn is detected by the goggles - not just tumble turns! Hope this helps!
