Great Health Features

I bought this about a month ago to help improve my overall health. I felt like the garmin watch was able to provide me more health data than my Apple Watch could provide! So far I been really enjoying the he health features and the gps during runs. It's been interesting seeing all the features to figure how to decrease stress levels and improve overall cardiovascular health

Beautiful, Great Features, Failed in 2 months

Gorgeous screen with awesome features in sleep tracking, health monitoring, workouts, plus smartwatch features. My third Garmin Vivoactive series watch. The other two were rock solid. This one failed due to software issues after less than two months.

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.

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.

Great features...overall

I am loving the features on my Garmin Vivoactive, but im a little disappointed in the battery life. I was expecting to get at least 5 days with it as it is advertised up to 11 days, but it only lasts 3-4 days at the most. I do use it a lot, but not to the extent of draining it so fast. Overall though, great watch to have for keeping track of your workouts/walks/run. I'd definitely buy again as it is worth it and is very comfortable and not too bulky.

Best Smart Watch Brand in the market!!!

I can't believe how amazing my Garmin Vivo Active 6 has turned out to be. It led me to go out and purchase two more Garmin smartwatches, if that gives you any idea as to the love I have for Garmin and for their watches. They have transformed my workouts as I now utilize various Garmin Connect apps to sync my reps, sets, and exercise count. I recommend Garmin to anyone out there looking to improve their health and wellness because these watches will singlehandedly transform one's livelihood with a single purchase.

Great features

I have had owned Garmin watches for over 20 years. The vivoactive 6 is the best i have experienced to date. I recently updated to this watch and use it in place of an Apple watch that I tried and did not stay with. The battery life is excellent except when in the golf app. Most of the apps I have used so far are excellent. The golf app is basic and does not have the features that a full golf watch has, but it is adequate. The exercise and health apps are an improvement over my previous watch the Vivoactive 4

Regretting my disappointment

Purchased on line to upgrade my vivoactive 3 music and was initially disappointed. 1st issue was was low light screen auto dimming. My vision is not great without readers and could not see much in low light without first finding my glasses or a light source to brighten the display. Somehow navigating from apps to widgets and systems settings seemed less intuitive than the vivo 3 but honestly I didn't give it much of a chance. I decided that I wanted a bigger screen as well so have spent too much time sifting through watch reviews and now wish I'd kept the vivo 6. Right tech at a good price.

Love this watch

This is my 4th Garmin watch and the best one yet. It has great battery life and connects well. One of the features that I especially like is being able to set the font size at setup. I selected a large font size which makes it very easy to read. Love that it tells me Good Morning and gives me the weather. I am very happy with my purchase.

Not as easy as the Apple Watch

My husband bought this for me, but I wish I'd done some research beforehand. It's not as intuitive as my old Apple Watch and doesn't sync with my phone as easily. The battery is much better and it's good for swimming but every other feature isn't as easily accessible.
