    Great watch for running. Got it to help track my time and other metrics as I run marathons. Great battery life and easy to read display.

    Great GPS Tracking and Lifestyle

    I enjoy this watch! The GPS tracking during runs and walks is amazing. I also enjoy the open swim as well. They accurately track the distance and route. I think it's convenient as a lifestyle watch as well. I can get text and notifications and play music from it. The only thing I wish was better was the pool swim tracking and treadmill running. I live in Florida and sometime prefer a treadmill because it can get hot and my watch is sometime .10- .20 miles off whenever I'm on the treadmill. And if you are not moving you arms and doing drills when swimming the watch will not take that into account and not count that lap. So that's why I have to give it 4/5.

    Okayt. Except that it doesn't have a step counter. And options can be not so straight forward.

    Garmin's Vívoactive 5 Is THE One To Get

    I bought the Vivoactive 5 about a month ago. I love everything about it. The one thing it's missing from the Venu is the Floors Climbed metric, which has never been accurate with any of my previous watches Samsung Watch4, Instinct Solar, etc). The only thing I don't like about this watch is that the band it comes with feels super cheap. But I did not mark it down a star because I bought a pack of silicone bands on Amazon for $12. Now my watch is a rockstar, feels great, looks great and functions perfectly.

    Took very little time to learn how to use. Everything seems accurate, except for one time it read my heart rate incorrectly at 140 BPM. Otherwise, works great for the money.
