Great Upgrade!

I had a Vivo Active 3 for the past 5 years and upgraded when the watch began to loose full charge by the end of the day. The Vivo Active 6 has been an amazing upgrade with new features and even more accurate health stats. Everything I loved about Garmin watches is even better on the 6 and would highly recommend you update if it's been a few years. Well worth the value!

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,

New Smart Watch

I've been using FitBit for almost 15 years, but recently I was disappointed with their functions. So I began to research Garmin, but many of the deigns were too masculine and seemed complicated. Then the Vivoactive popped up and I decided to purchase it. It did not disappoint and I'm looking forward to trying more features.

Average watch.

I bought this almost a month ago. I replaced my Instinct but so far my old instinct was still a better watch. Based on my research this watch should have had many of the same features but sadly doesn't. I should have stuck with a new instinct or just switched to an Apple Watch. The positive is being able to download new watch faces. The downside most of the watch faces glitch and don't work properly. When I do an activity the screen will go completely blank and is a struggle to get it to come back up.

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.

Get the watch, You won't be disappointed

Upgraded a month ago, have been using Vivoactive watches for past 6 years. The new amloed screen and additional information/tracking details is top notch. Super beneficial when trying to improve life from all angles. I tried an Apple Watch short time and was glad to return to my Garmin. Fit is great, screen size is universal and not over-sized for someone with a smaller wrist.

Great watch, that was affordable!

I ususally purchase the lower priced models or restored models. This model is a few years older, but I love it already. I do not like the feeling of things on my wrist when I sleep so I've never measure my sleep. This watch feels great and I've been able to get my sleep scores. The only feature I don't love, or maybe understand yet, is the watch face options. I don't love that I can't my hr showing and the seconds of the time showing. Overall, grateful that I purchased this watch and love Garmin.

Best investment

This watch has so many features and ways of tracking your body and health. Through its precise tracking capabilities, long battery life, ease of use, and customizability, I would recommend this watch to anyone, especially if you're into fitness and taking care of your body. It has all you need for any activity, even sleep and stress. Science and innovation is what takes this watch over the top. Highly recommend.

Missing Features from Vivoactive 4S

I bought this watch to replace a Vivoactive 4S. I thought this watch would have all the features of the 4S and more. I wasn't pleased with the larger size but there is no Vivoactive 6S. In lieu of the smaller size I thought Garmin would at least have included a second bands to fit smaller wrists. They did not. My daughter's much less expensive smart watch came with a long and a short band. The main feature I miss from the 4S is the altimeter. My 4S had one, the 6 does not. I'm recovering from an injury right now but my hope is the GPS will be able to judge the terrain sufficiently to give accurate elevation measurements. Aside from that I like the watch. The screen is brighter than the 4S. The clock features are great. I like the auto reset feature on the timer. The sleep metrics, while I'm not sure how accurate, are fun to look at. The nap feature is interesting though not entirely accurate. I like the evening and morning reports and enjoy looking at the other statistics that either weren't available or required going into the Garmin app to find. I love the longer battery life. I use the timers right now but due to the bad weather and my injury I'm not using the GPS much. I've been getting between 8 and 9 days on a charge. My old one lasted about 2-3 days in the weeks before it finally failed. Still better than other brands of smartwatches other family members use.

Great features and battery life

I've had my Vivioactive 6 watch for about a month now and I'm impressed with the battery life. And, there are a lot of features that I'm still learning about. I like the lock screen feature when I'm exercising as it keeps the screen from continuing scrolling.
