Cheapest price I have found so far for Garmin’s Vivoactive 5.

Yep you’ll have to pony up $750 for the Venu 3.
Can also get the just released Forerunner 165 $429 RRP https://www.garmin.com/en-AU/p/1055469
Wouldn't it just use your GPS location that has known map heights to work out elevation gain?
GPS altitude is not very accurate especially in areas with trees, tunnels, etc. It definitely won't do stair climbing well. You'll see lots of post on elevation inaccuracy with VA3 and VA4 and they actually have (flaky) altimeter sensors. Mine is pretty woeful with it's readings compared to friends Garmins.
Vivoactive 3 user here. Note Garmin has removed the altimeter in the Vivoactive 5, so no proper elevation tracking. I'd never get a sports watch without it, even discounted from their overpriced RRP.
