Hi Guys, Firstly, apologies to all of the cycling only guys :sweat_smile: I’m just wondering if any of the swimmers or Tri guys and gals have any experience of the Form swim goggles and the integrated training plans. Ignoring the fact they are expensive, what are your thoughts? If you have or ar…

Sounds about right, judging by the app update they just released: [IMG_9830] Maybe integrated GPS too (or compass?) based on that SwimStraight feature.

I’m not sure how I feel about these. I’ve got the V1’s and enjoy them and always swim with them it’s the subscription model that’s giving me pause. When I got mine they had the 1 year free, and I’m reaching the end of that. The new ones only having 2 months free, rather than the year gives me paus…

Oh yeah, I think having the distance in there during a race would be maddening. Can you make it show the HeadCoach stuff during a race? I’d probably use that and/or the compass just to have something to focus on instead of staring at the deep…

Probably, I used it once and then got 20 meters in and regretted my life choices and couldn’t do anything to change it. I think you can set an open water dashboard to show different things.

Gotta say, that SwimStraight feature looks very compelling. I don’t wear my Form goggles for races but this is making me consider it.
