Not bad; not great

After 5 years of being an apply watch user I switched to garmin and am not very impressed. I do like the sleep statistics, but feel that the vivoactive is missing a lot of activities that I used to track all the time on my Apple Watch. If they added rock climbing/ bouldering, dancing, and barre I would be more impressed. It also has a lot of glitches.

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,

Excellent watch. I purchased it for my wife who wanted to replace her aging fitbit. Having switched to a Garmin instinct myself, and loving it, she wanted to try Garmin. She loves the watch and it has exceed her expectations. Great size and comfort, along with packed features and great battery life!

Best watch ever

I bought this watch about a month ago to replace my Apple Watch because I was tired of the short battery life, as I I'm active a lot and like to record my activity's the Apple Watch couldn't make it through the whole day. I love my Garmin, I charge it once a week compared to my Apple Watch charging every day. I Love my Garmin!

vivoactive 6

Couple of weeks in - much better than my last Fitbit Charge 5 in most ways. Much more customization and training options. Took awhile to understand the different Garmin measurements. I really did like the Fitbit Zone measurement better, but the Garmin is superior in every other way. I will not be going back to Google/Fibt bit ever.

Seems to have been the right choice for me.

I have owned Garmin cyclometers for many, many years to measure my effort when cycling. My age (low 70s) has pushed me more into the gym than on the open road for workouts. I wasn't pleased with the type of information Fitbit was providing me. I moved to a Garmin watch and I've been very happy with it thus far. It pairs with all of my Garmin sensors and gives me useful feedback on workouts of all kinds. It seems to give very good monitoring of sleep habits and daily rest and exercise. Overall, this was a great choice for me.

Great Wearable Fitness Tracker

Garmin products are the best. I use this for my daily runs and workouts. It tracks everything. Another nice product from Garmin. I have used other brands and nothing matches the Garmin . I like that I can wear this one on my runs and out casually. It works for both scenarios. It tracks mileage accurately . My advice would be decide how you want to use your wearable and select one of Garmins devices that fits you best.

Fantastic Watch & Tools*

I bought my vivoactive 6 about a month ago and I instantly fell in love with the way it looks on my wrist. It is sleek and stylish without being too sporty. I wanted a watch that provided fashion and function for the workplace, and the outdoors. The watchface has quality electronics that provides appealing bright and vibrant colors! My only sadness about the watch is that I cannot respond to texts from the watch because I have an iPhone. Apparently, if you have Android, you can respond directly from a Garmin watch. I think if it's a security issue, Garmin and Apple should make an agreement that mandates that any texts sent from the watch are sent as TEXT instead of iMessage. It's ironically a less secure method than iMessage.

Great watch

I bought the vivoactive 6 to replace a Garmin vivosmart fitness band. It is working out great, I have just started to explore all of the features. Was a bit hesitant to get a rechargeable watch but the battery lasts a lot longer than I expected and it recharges faster than I thought it would.

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
