Activity Import & Export

The integration with Garmin was built for the purposes of connecting a compatible smartwatch for open water swimming with GPS. It also allows for the import of open water swims done while NOT connected to your FORM goggles into your FORM account so that all your swims are in one place.

Due to a limitation from Garmin's side, the integration with Garmin Connect works in the opposite direction to the other platforms we connect with (full list here) meaning that you can import your Garmin swims to the FORM Swim App but not export your FORM swims or workouts out to Garmin Connect. You also cannot import any workouts from Garmin into FORM for use with the goggles. 

Watch Compatibility In Open Water

You can see the full list of compatible smartwatches here: Which smartwatches can be used with the goggles for open water swimming?

We are currently testing the connection for the following watch(es). If you have one of these watches and the FORM goggles, please reach out to us to see if we are able to provide early access to the connection:

Garmin Enduro 3

Garmin Epix 2 Pro

Garmin forerunner 165

Garmin MK3

Garmin Venu 3

For all other Garmin watches, the reason these are not compatible with FORM are listed below:

1. The watch doesn't support Connect IQ data fields (which is how our connection to the goggles works).
2. Despite it supporting ConnectIQ data fields, the watch doesn’t allow data fields to use BLE.
3. The available memory for data fields is much smaller than we currently need.
4. This watch doesn’t natively support open water swims.
5. Other connection issue.

If your watch is not listed above or on the list of compatible watches, please reach out to our team who will be able to provide you with more information.
