I think I have about 10 different pairs of goggles. Each pair lasts easily 3-5 years. I think I buy 1-2 new a year, but more because I am bored than because I need them. The goggles these days can go forever across any brands. I have goggles from speedo, sporti, water gear and probably some other brands.
If I was stranded on a desert island and could only take one pair, though, it would be speedo mirrored vanquishers (Amazon.com: Speedo Vanquisher 2.0 Plus Mirrored Goggle: Sports & Outdoors).

I need optical goggles and recently bought a pair of optical vanquisher goggles and like them a lot. My only complaint is the straight nose piece. I wish they did an adult nose piece sized like my daughters junior pair where the nose piece is curved to shape around the bridge of the nose.
I recall in my student days mixing and matching goggle pieces to make two pairs into one and make them last longer. We did this with our suits also, where we would wear two or three suits where each had holes in different places. One had to be careful with the suits to main your modesty, where as the goggles never had this flaw.
Plus one on the Vanquishers. I use my mirrored dark lens goggles for outdoor swimming and a clear pair for indoor. No complaints with them whatsoever. They last a long time (I have yet to replace a pair due to a malfunction or a broken strap) and I only replace them when I can no longer see out of them, which so far, is typically every 18 months or so.

Been using the same pair of Swedish goggles (tinted, with no reflector lenses) since the first week of swimming my freshman year of college. Had to change the straps several times, but going on 9 years the goggles themselves have held up quite nicely.
I usually keep them for as long as they last or until someone decides they need them more than me. The last pair i had were a 5 year old pair of lane 4 (now finis). Then disappeared when someone took my swim bag.
