Are you ready for some exciting new outdoor gear? From high-tech swim goggles to a clock inspired by Star Wars, the latest emerging gear has something for everyone.

FORM Smart Swim 2

FORM, a fitness technology company, has launched its second-generation augmented reality swim goggles: the Smart Swim 2. These high-tech goggles use patented Waveguide optics and onboard sensors for real-time metrics and guided swim workouts. Key features include integrated heart rate monitoring with a temple-based sensor and SwimStraight, a digital compass aiding open-water swim navigation. Major triathlon organizations have already approved the goggles for use. The goggles start at $250, including a free 2-month trial of FORM Premium. Post-trial, access to Premium Features costs $15 monthly or $100 annually.

URWERK SpaceTime Blade

URWERK, a Swiss company, has introduced the SpaceTime Blade, a unique clock that comes with a hefty price tag of $63,000. The company describes it as a “watchmaking experience” that transcends “traditional notions of time and space.” The 5.5-foot clock sword turns orange when activated and can show hundredths of a second ticking away at a rate of 500 changes per second. It also offers eight display modes, including time measurement and distance calculation. According to URWERK, the design is meant to evoke the “imaginary world of laser sabers.”
