Are AR glasses for swimming legit? This pair I tested helped me 'hack' my workouts


Form's Smart Swim 2 Pro AR goggles feature Gorilla Glass 3 and an anti-fog coating, but it's the built-in coaching tools that really helped me improve my speed in the water.

Matthew Miller/ZDNETForm includes five arched nose bridges to fit every face shape, and you can even flip these over if you want the AR view, right side by default, to appear in front of your left eye. Core features include the free smartphone application (available for iOS and Android) that let you set up the AR display on the goggles, the optical heart rate sensor, automatic stroke detection, sharing with services like Strava and TrainingPeaks, and open water swim tracking with support for connected GPS sports watches. I was worried a bit about the goggles being tough to use while swimming, but Form has perfected the user experience with two-button controls on one side and seamless connectivity to your smartphone and sports watch.
