the best open water goggles are the ones you are most comfortable in!
When I embarked on my first swimtrek and did extensive open water swimming for multiple hours every day, I tried 6 different goggles before settling on one. I also noticed that my pool goggles would hurt after wearing them for 2+ hours. I guess I needed to do longer pool swims in order to know that.
I settled for a pair that had a bigger lens, especially to the side, so I could see a lot more than with my pool goggles. Comfort and how much I could see were my 2 priorities when choosing a pair.
I tried goggles from arena, bling2O and speedo. The Bling2O aren't the pretties ones but I found them great for OW swimming. big lens and comfortable. I ultimately settled for the arena airspeed, for the reason that I can also wear them in the pool, because that's what I still mainly do. But if I was going to get a true OW goggle, I would have gone with the bling2O.
