Pleasantly pleased with the Garmin vivoactive 6

I purchased my Garmin approx three weeks ago. My Fitbit Sense died after six years of faithful service so I made this purchase after researching which watch closely resembled my previous watch. It is taking time to learn what I can do with this watch but to date I am pretty pleased with the Garmin. This past week I paired/synced it to My Fitness Pal app. The fact that I already owned a Garmin Approach G80 golf range finder is an added plus for golf and my other activities. Looking forward to learn more about my vivoactive 6.

Nice watch, but live event sharing defaults to off

I am overall very happy with the watch. Beautiful display a lot more activities to choose from compared to my Vivoactive 3 Music. My only complaint is that the live event sharing defaults to off. It will stay on for 24 hours, but then kicks off. Why? Other than that, all is good.

No Altimeter

This is my 3rd Garmin watch. For the most part I really like it. I didn't give it 5 stars because for whatever reason they chose to remove the altimeter from the device. Its a hiking watch....I hike the mountains of Colorado...What's with that. IMO Bad Choice Garmin

So glad I switched

I bought this because I was tired of charging my galaxy watch twice a day. Wasn't aware of all the extras that came with it. I love the fitness tracking but mostly, I love the little inspirational messages after my morning report. I am still learning all the functions but I woulld recommend this to anyone.

Amazing features!

I love my watch! I recently started having seizures and this watch had made it so that I can alert my husband immediately so that he can call for help. It has fall detection and it has truly been a life saver. It also helps me keep my health and stress levels under control. I am so grateful this product was available.

Good product. User manual/instructions could be be

I'm enjoying the watch but am definitely underutilizing its features. That's primarily because I find the user manual non-intuitive in the way it's laid out. Also I find the function to select/add/edit yoga postures cumbersome. Hoping to figure out an easier way to configure and use it for the activities I do most often.

Vivoactive 6 is now my favorite

VivoActive 6, finally a Garmin that gives me more than day of operation without charging. In addition to the Vivoactive 6, I also have the Vivoactive HR, the Vivoactive 3 and the Venu Sq Music. The later 3 never gave me than a days operation on a charge. I am a 76 yr old Vietnam Vet. I have sleep issues diagnosed as REM Sleep Behavior Disorder. So Sleep tracking is important to me and Garmin has the best software I've experienced. The only physical activity I track is walking. The heart and SPO features are also great.

Awsome smart watch

I really like this watch, especially the long battery life. The previous smart watch I had needed to be charged every day (about 32 hours actual battery life) so was not useful for sleep monitoring. The Vivoactive 6 has many more useful features than my old smart watch.

Lightweight and versatile!

Coming from the quite indestructible Fenix Pro Solar 6, I was torn on what to get for my lifestyle. I am quite clumsy, and the Fenix never even got a scratch. It just stopped connecting to my phone. I settled on the Vivo6, and so far, I LOVE it! I lift weights, run, yoga, paddle board, ride horses and run a farm. I have a full cover/screen protector for my vivo, and it is handling my life very well.

No Screen Reversal

I'm replacing my 10 yr old Vivoactive 3. It appears that there is no way to reverse the screen on the Vivoactive 6 so I can wear in on my left wrist. All the instructions say to go to the "Settings- Systems-Orientation", however there is no "Orentation" option on the Vivoactive 6. The only option I could find is to reverse the wrist bands.
