An idea watch

This watch has been great. I was looking for a running watch that had both an AMOLED screen and that I could wear in a variety of situations and still feel good about, and the Vivoactive has checked all the boxes so far. It has been a great running, fitness, and recovery tracker while being less bulky and nicer looking when at work. Would recommend,

Great

Purchased this after a little research finding it was one of the smallest on the market. So far it's been great. Band is comfortable and battery lasts. Screen appears durable, but I did go ahead and put a screen protector on it because I am rough with things on my hands/wrists due to work.

Versatile

Happy with the features that the watch provides. Sleep score is great, reports are handy. The biggest flaw (which I think is big) is that there is no barometer/altimeter. With there being set challenges for climbs, its ironic that this watch doesn't have those amenities

Great upgrade from the Lily

I am really happy with this watch & feel it is far more accurate on my steps. I like the added workout features, weekly overview & sleep tracking. I was disappointed about the Garmin Connect & having to pay for apps & additions as it was not stated in the details. Overall, happy.

Great watch

I have had this watch for about three weeks .I had a 3 for years more than 8 and the battery started to give out, so sad.But I like the new 6,does everything I want,bicycle tracking and all the health I need , so far into an 8 day charge and still have 52 percent change left.I like Garmin watches they look good and do as advertised.

Love the battery life!

I'm an active user, working out 3 times or more a week. I've had both an Apple watch and a Fitbit. The heart rate is my primary feature with GPS tracking secondary. This watch does both accurately and I don't need to recharge it twice a day or have it go dead in the middle of a trail. That said, getting up to speed on how to use the Garmin was far from easy. I was disappointed that I had to manually enter the profiles for each type of activity.

Doesnt live up to its predecessor

For close to 5 years i had the Vivoactive 4. this watch came in two sizes, the 4 and the 4s. unfortunately the 6 only comes in 1 size and its smaller than the 4 that i had. additionally, the 4 and the 5 both have a barometric altometer which is used for counting floors, however the 6 just doesnt have it. so now there is no credit given for floors/flights earned. how do we go from having features on prior models and just simply not include them on a newer model? very disappointed.

Beautiful display, long battery life!

Recently upgraded from the Vivoactive 4 and was blown away with the improvements. The display is gorgeous, the battery lasts more than double what it ever did on my 4, and it does ALMOST everything I need. I miss the barometric altimeter for elevation. Otherwise it's been awesome!

Great watch, but no voice to text

I'm loving this watch. I love the bright colors, the ability to change your watch face to your liking as well as colors within the face. The buttons on the side are a bit different than my previous Fitbit watch so that was a bit of an adjustment that I'm still getting used to. The clarity of graphics is great. My amazon wish list items come up with great clarity on the screen. My big disappointment is that there is no voice to text on this watch. One would think that would be a "normal" finding on any smart watch in 2025. Please fix this if possible! Overall, very happy, just wish I would've seen that there was no microphone for voice to text before I purchased.

Simple and Easy

I switched from an Apple Watch and couldn't be happier. The vibration is STRONG. I love the health outlook and how it adjusts the goals for the next day based on movement and sleep the day before. I love that I don't get over loaded. I love how light it is on my wrist. It's like it's not even there!
