I'm unsure of whether to buy the Venu 3s or FR 265s. I like the look of the Venu much better, like that it has a bigger screen with smaller form factor, and would prefer the latest HR sensor. However, the main thing holding me back is that there is no default Trail Run activity on the watch. Trail running is my main sport at the moment and I'm training for a trail half marathon. I currently have the FR235 and find it annoying to go into Strava and manually change from Run to Trail Run each time, since the 235 also doesn't have a Trail Run activity.
Is there any way to add Trail Run to the Venu, and have it automatically sync to Strava as a trail run? If not, I guess I will be forced to go with the 265. I know the 265 has better running metrics anyways, but I was hoping for a watch that I could wear all day and have it look nice when going out and not as "sporty". Especially with the neon yellow of the 265s...
Garmin, if you're listening, please stop making these arbitrary software differences between watches that are the same price. Coming to a decision with the tradeoffs for each is getting so annoying that I'm starting to look at other brands.
