Form Launches Affordable Smart Swim Goggles Without Heart-Rate Monitoring

Form, the smart swim goggle manufacturer, has unveiled the Smart Swim 2 LT, a more affordable alternative to its flagship model. The new goggles retain core smart features while removing heart-rate monitoring to reduce costs.

Key Features of the Smart Swim 2 LT

• Stroke Tracking: Monitors and records stroke count during swimming sessions.
• Lap Counting: Automatically tracks and logs lap completion for accurate distance measurement.
• Battery Life: Offers up to 8 hours of continuous use on a single charge.
• Water Resistance: Fully waterproof with a rating of IP68, ensuring durability in aquatic environments.
• Display: Features a clear, low-light visibility display for real-time data tracking.

What’s Missing Compared to the Original?

The Smart Swim 2 LT omits the heart-rate monitoring feature found in the original Form Smart Swim 2. This change allows Form to offer the goggles at a lower price point while maintaining essential functionality for swimmers.

Pricing and Availability

The Smart Swim 2 LT is priced at $149, a significant reduction from the original model’s $199 price tag. The goggles are available for pre-order starting June 10, 2024, with shipping expected to begin July 1, 2024.

"We wanted to make smart swim goggles more accessible without compromising on the core features swimmers rely on," said a Form spokesperson. "The Smart Swim 2 LT delivers essential data at a price that fits more budgets."

Comparison with Competitors

The Smart Swim 2 LT competes with other smart goggles in the market, such as the Swimovate SwiMacs and FINIS Smart Goggles. While these alternatives also focus on stroke and lap tracking, the Smart Swim 2 LT stands out with its sleek design and Form’s established reputation in the swimming community.
