Form has launched the Smart Swim 2 LT, a lower-cost version of its smart swimming goggles that removes heart-rate monitoring while retaining core features.
The Smart Swim 2 LT targets swimmers seeking affordable smart eyewear without premium pricing. The device drops the biometric tracking capability found in the standard Smart Swim 2, reducing cost for users prioritizing stroke detection, distance tracking, and real-time pace feedback.
Form's original Smart Swim 2 combines underwater displays, coaching metrics, and health monitoring. The LT variant maintains the visual interface and performance analytics while streamlining the feature set.
The move expands Form's addressable market beyond early adopters willing to pay flagship prices. Swimming goggles remain a niche category in wearables, with few competitors offering integrated displays and performance tracking.
Form has not disclosed pricing details or availability windows. The Smart Swim 2 LT joins a growing category of sport-specific wearables targeting specific athlete demographics with tailored functionality.
