The Polar OH1+ aren't googles, it's an optical sensor that clips onto your existing goggles (or worn on a band around wrist or upper arm if you go out running).
The proper gadget goggles are these ones: https://www.formswim.com/pages/polar . Someone in the Swimming thread had those...
(Good point about new Garmin bricks, didn't think about that...)

Thanks - year, I realized there are no wrist based methods when I had a good look yesterday. Could have made an annoying mistake picking up something a bit more pricey assuming "swim mode" + "HR monitor" = what I wanted. I'll see how often I'm able to get to the pool now that they're back open (first swim tomorrow!). If I'm able to be as regular as I was, I'll pick up the goggles... Pure gadgetry, but you only yolo once. Thanks for the advice!
(also, re: bricks - I was assuming that if I 'd bought a new garmin device while they were down it would have been useless until I could have synced with with garmin connect. I've been using my Edge while they're down without any real issues).
