- Smart Swim 1 - Goggles

I did not even know smart googles existed! I bought them unsure of how it would end but I'll tell you upfront, I absolutely love them. First, there was an issue with the app. Fortunately, I forgot to return them and the first thing on Monday, the company contacted me and fixed the issue. They definitely exceeded my expectations!! One the first use, I was very concerned that having the display directly in my eye was going to give me motion sickness. I am also blind in my left eye, and after reading reviews, I was left feeling that I would have an issue seeing where I was swimming because the display would have to be in front of my good eye. So many concerns but I gave them a try anyway. I have absolutely no issue seeing in front of me, the blue line beneath me, or the person in either lane next to me. Well, actually, I see as much of the person as I want to see. Can I observe their posture, kick, or form? Nope and I don't want to. I can see them come and go and that's enough for me. Again, I'm blind in one eye and I see everything I saw prior to wearing these googles with no issues at all. The display is placed directly in the middle of the google but after a swim or two it becomes normal. When I want to look at it, I do but when I don't I just look through it at the pool. It is not distracting or intrusive. I swim with a waterproof MP3 player and it clips onto the google strap and I tuck the headphone wires under the straps. The goggles don't move or leak during my entire one-hour freestyle swim. They stay right where I put them and they are very comfortable! Not even kidding, after getting the proper strap tightness the first time, I have not tightened them again. I put them on, pull them a few times, and pop them over my eyes. No leaks ever. When the googles arrived, I put them on and decided the medium curved nose piece was for me. Per the instructions, I took all the pieces to the pool for my first swim but I didn't need them. The nose piece fits perfectly and continues to be trouble-free. It is so amazing to swim and not have to keep checking the clock! Yes. It's the simple things. It's even better to know the distance, and other metrics that I choose using the app. When I turn the goggles on, it takes several seconds to sync with the app, I select the type of swim, and I press start when I'm ready to begin. I only need to touch the googles again when I'm done with my workout. There are only 2 buttons to press and it only takes a few times of using the goggles to get the hang of it. Very minimal learning curve so you're swimming, not messing with tools on the side of the pool. The smartness of these goggles is awesome. I usually swim all freestyle but decided to do some drills. When I finished and looked at the stats, I was shocked to see that the system was quite accurate at distinguishing drills v. freestyle without me doing anything to set it up. Accuracy was a little off but it was nice to not have to figure it out on my own or, more likely, just not track those lengths. After your swim, you Save and Quit. Then you can turn them off. When you're dry and ready, turn them on, and sync with the app to view your stats. Lots of data to spend time with. Although you can export the data it would be really great if an app update added the ability to compare data so that I can quickly see my performance over time. This would be super helpful!!!

I consider myself a serious long distance swimmer. I bought the goggles because I wanted something which could keep track of my distance and time, and which would allow me to just focus on getting through a long swim without losing track of which lap I had just swum or how long I've been swimming. After setting the pool length, I had no issues with the goggles keeping track of laps. Every time I turned around, the goggles registered a lap after a few seconds and told me how fast I had done the lap and then switched to my overall time and distance. I'm not interested in the workouts, and I will say the app is pretty dense and difficult to navigate. It took a while to figure out where my swims were, and it took several attempts to sync the goggles. Since that first since I haven't had any problems, and I now know where to go to see what I did. To be honest, everything is given in the googles at the end of your swim. I don't do flips when I turn around and the googles were fine registering me stopping and turning around. Sometimes, I stopped to catch my breath and the googles automatically sensed this and went into rest mode. That said, It took me several swims and different nose pieces to find the one that fit without hurting. In traditional goggles, the nosepiece is rubber and flexes. The supplied nosepieces are hard plastic and don't give, so they don't adjust to your face. They provide 8 different sizes. The case is nice and well made. The goggles are quality. I had no leak issues and they didn't fog up. The goggles came fully charged and ready to go (minus set up such as entering your personal info.) I need bifocals, but wear glasses only for distance. If I need to read, I take off my glasses and bring the book to my face. I have contacts for distance. I had thought that because the info screen was close to my face that I wouldn't need to wear contacts, but for some reason you need distance vision to see the screen. I just wear one contact in my right eye and when I'm done swimming, toss it and switch back to glasses. It does take some time to get used to having a data field hovering in front of you while swimming...especially when it's only one eye. Thankfully, pools have a black stripe on the bottom so I can use that to swim in a straight line. Overall, so far, so good. They have definitely improved my swims. It's easier to distinguish between actual effort and perceived effort. It feels like I'm exerting myself when in reality I'm going slower than I feel and the googles help with that. But, like I said, I'm concerned with distance...not time...but I don't want to be too slow and waste time and energy when doing a long swim, so the time display is a good nudge to keep on pace. Edit 10/4/24 In order to use the Goggles you need to pay. I thought I already paid when I bought the Goggles. It’s $100 a year. Why do I need to pay when the goggles already tell me distance and time? Money grab which isn’t cool.

Li ho presi per non guardare continuamente il mio fenix 6x durante il nuoto a mare, cosi da avere la distanza il tempo e l HR in tempo reale. Devo dire che vanno abbastanza bene messi entrambi sullo stesso lato (nel caso mio il destro) l aggiornamento e' molto rapido praticamente ogni bracciata, al costo in un leggero consumo supplementare sul fenix 6x (passa dal 4%/ora al 13%/ora) ma accettabile. Compatibilita perfetta col fenix 6 connessione immediata, visibilita ottima anche col sole forte e vestibilita comoda. Non si appannano almeno per il momento. Li avrei preferiti con un campo visivo piu ampio, e' ridotto rispetto gli altri occhialini che tipicamente uso sia in piscina che a mare, ed a mare e meglio avere una visibilita piu ampia. Gli aggiornamenti software sono abbastanza frequenti, spero che aggiungano ulteriori metriche e la navigazione che indichi la direzione rispetto un percorso precaricato, sono fiduciono. Per quanto riguarda sia l app che la configurabilita sono abbastanza intuitivi e ben fatte anche in assenza di manuale ti guidano facilmente. La rotazione delle informazioni anche se non configurabile come tempo ha la frequenza giusta a mio parere. Bisogna indossarli un po di volte per abituarsi al fatto che il display e' su un occhio solo, all inizio da un po fastidio, PRO: Facilita d'uso software e firmware ben fatti durata batteria Contro: Campo visivo costo (ma e' giustificato dal fatto che e' un prodotto escusivo)

Amazong glasses ivd had them for pver 3 months. Its like a personal trainer in your glasses. Make your program on your phone or take the programs provided by form app and sync them to your glasses. The app is free for a year so you can download 5 programs to your glasses and havr choice. You can even download a 12 week tri program for on and off season and other programs. All this is compatible with STRAVA app auto transfers all your data automatically oncexin proximaty to your phone and also syncs to your form app. The details of your swims are amazing even ip to the angle of your head is given for max performance speed and strength. I definetly recommend these goggles. I havent used them in open water yet but you can also pour switch from pool to open water with gps compatibility when wearing a watch. Wait till they come on special before but diefinetly worth the investment. Comes with a hard case nose piece adjustement fof all types of people. Battery is also amazing uses about 5 to 10% for every 2000m thats including power loss between trainnings every day. I charge them every three days but there is still 75% charge in them so i figure you could swim a full week before charging. This is based on a 2000m trainning routine 5 days a week.

As a regular (but still amateur) swimmer, I've found these to be a game changer. Build quality is superb (even if the anti-fog still fogs a little); they're comfy and come with a comprehensive set of nosepieces to guarantee the best fit. Given the amount of technology packed into them, they're very unobtrusive; you'd never know that they were smart goggles by looking at them. The display is clear and easy to customise, with dashboards for swimming, resting, and turning. You can pretty much choose whatever data you'd like for each of them. There is a slight reduction in peripheral vision, but the HUD doesn't interfere with your vision nearly as much as some reviewers have stated. The app is simply brilliant, and captures plenty of rich data – its integration with Strava is fantastic, with an elegant image showing your stats. There are a few niggles. You do need to keep them on, and not rinse them when you're resting. Doing so might compromise the coating, and also tends to misregister as additional lengths. But that's a minor quibble giving that this is cutting-edge tech. It's like being in a little fighter jet. Sadly without the torpedoes...

Un très grand dommage pour l'application qui est uniquement en anglais et demande de payer 20€ pour pouvoir activer les lunettes c'est un de mes plus gros regret sur ces lunettes pour l'instant ! Néanmoins dans la piscine elle affiche le temps passé et le nombre de mètres fais par palier de 25m ou 50m selon la longueur de la piscine elle ont bien 16h d'autonomie ! Le changement du plastique du nez est assez dure et le caoutchouc des lunettes semble pas foufou mais à voir dans le temps comme certains commentaires disent qu'elle ne tiennent pas dans le temps !

Great goggles and having fan using it. I think this goggles will help me a lot on improving my swim.
