Middle aged, out of shape, overweight solo hiker and backpacker, and burgeoning YouTuber working my way up to a long distance thru hike. Getting fit and losing weight by being outdoors and hitting the trails!

I love my Enduro 2 and it seems like they rolled a bunch of its features into the Fenix. I don't know anyone who dislikes the Fenix. It's a solid choice for sure.

Well if nothing else you'll probably improve your battery life. My Enduro 2 lasts a bit over a month in smart watch mode before I have to charge it, vs the 5 days of life my Vivoactive 4 was getting.

Well, that's a bummer. I would think it's only math and I would assume that it would be something that could be calculated if you can track distance and elevation gain. If nothing else, I would have thought it could be calculated in Garmin Connect. Sorry to hear it's not an option for your Venu.

Interesting. I assumed all the Garmin watches calculated 3D distance. I also discovered that my Enduro 2 wasn't recording in 3D so I just enabled it for my "Hiking" activity.
Thanks for the info!
PS Google says 3D should be available on the Venue 2+.

I've walked into the middle of a herd before and had them flow around me as they took off running. I was as still as a stone. It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life.

Altra or Keen. Stay away from the Keen Zionic though, it has a treacherous tread.
