Great watch

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Battery and quality are great. Much better touch screen than my Apple Watch that this replaced. Only negative is that you can't reply to texts on it, only see notifications.

long battery life! I absolutely love it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love that the battery lasts me over a week and measures so many health stats. I'll never use anything else!

New device outshines old by far.

This was a birthday present from my husband. He was tired of me complaining about the inaccuracy of my previous device( not naming names) This watch is fantastic!! I have only begun to explore all it can do but so far I am thrilled with it tracking my swim laps and times and swolf. No more counting! Can't wait to dive into my running stats. It also has much better messaging and I can listen to music without my phone. I was worried that it would be too big and clunky for my small wrist but it is very light and comfortable.

Amazing watch

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this for my son as a Christmas present and all I can say is he absolutely loves it has many features including tracking your sleep tracking steps. It has a workout feature that is really unique so when he's at the gym he uses that definitely would recommend this watch

Amazing battery life and easy to set up

I had a Vivoactive 5 for 2 years and really liked it. I never used all the functions (senior woman here). What sold me on the 6 is the battery life. Just WOW!!! 7 days later and the battery is still 51%. The watch face is pretty and so far I have been able to figure out how to use it- remember senior woman!!!

Beautiful functional watch with a LONG battery lif

I bought this 2 weeks ago and I'm really pleased with everything about it. I had a Vivo active 5 for 2 years. It was working fine except that I had to charge it about every 3 days and that was annoying. I thought ( senior here!!) that it would take me forever to learn how to use my new watch, but it was surprisingly easy. Now I don't use many of the other functions, but it's perfect for my limited requirements. And I have been charging it after about 9 days!!!!

LOVE this watch!

I bought this watch almost a month ago and am so glad I did. The workout tracking is amazing. I love the body battery and sleep scores. It really was what I was looking for overall in my previous watch from another brand. I also bought an oura ring, but needed something better with fitness. I love how customizable this is as well with watch faces, apps, etc.

Nice health and fitness tracker

I have enjoyed the Vívoactive 4, 5, and now 6. However, I must say I really miss the altimeter that tracked flights of stairs in the 4 model. It was removed in the 5 and still remains gone. Since the majority of my activities are HIIT, walking, and strength training, I find the vívoactive fits my needs for fitness tracking, and I enjoy the health tracking features as well, such as sleep tracking and hydration. The 6 has added activities like hiking, which the 5 lacked, so that is a plus. Overall, I am pleased with the update. I would give it a 5 if it had the altimeter back, but a 4 is still pretty good. For the price, I felt I got a good deal. I also love the integration it has with my iPhone, and while I do not use the music or payment features, I appreciate they are there. The battery life is great, and I appreciate not having to charge my watch daily. Though my 5 did get that way at the end of its life.

Mostly good

Most of the upgrades from my vivo 4 I like. However I am disappointed that they got rid of the altimeter for counting stairs. Also have repeated trouble stopping a workout. It doesn't always stop it and jumps to other screens. So overall it is a Meh!

No so great features

I bought this a month ago (Aug 29, 2026) and I'm extremely disappointed with the heart rate monitor. I specifically bought this watch for this feature. I had a cardiac issue and I rely on this watch to keep me informed about my heart rate. I am being monitor on an EKG when exercising at the cardiac rehab. My actual heart rate was 124 and the watch had my heart rate at 76. I'm considering going back to my Apple watch!
