Gps swim watch

Have been swimming in the ocean and walking (instead of swimming in the pool and weight training) since the Covid 19 crisis began so have been thinking of getting a watch that keeps track of both my distance swimming and distance walking. Seems like the Garmin Swim 2 watch is the best out there (not interested in Apple). Before I take the plunge I was hoping for some feedback from people who already use it.

  • For those with the Garmin Swim 2, what's the longest (time) open-water swim you've done? I just got the watch and after seeing how much the battery depletes with a couple of pool swims I have doubts as to whether the battery will last long enough for a 10k open water with GPS on.I did a 10K open water in 2:47 and I think I still had 20% battery life left at the end.
