LOVE this watch!

I bought this watch almost a month ago and am so glad I did. The workout tracking is amazing. I love the body battery and sleep scores. It really was what I was looking for overall in my previous watch from another brand. I also bought an oura ring, but needed something better with fitness. I love how customizable this is as well with watch faces, apps, etc.

Great motivator

I bought this to keep better track of my steps, sleep and overall health. I've been very happy with it and it does push me to keep moving if I've had low step days or rest more if I've had bad night of sleep. And I charge it once a week which is a big plus.

Great for tracking workouts and runs, quality ok

I believe I have been wearing the watch for almost 3 weeks and happy when it comes to tracking my health data so far even though I know it's not 100% accurate (e.g. sleep). There are better devices out there for sleep or heart rate tracking but for what I use it for it is enough. I just started adding running into my workout routine and wanted a watch so I can improve my running but also track my strength workouts. I love that I can pause my runs easily with a push on a button. I also wanted a watch that I didn't feel bad about not wearing all the time because it just doesn't fit every outfit. lol The watch is a bit large on my small wrist but on the thinner side compared to Venu 4 which looked too bulky. The user interface is not the most intuitive and I needed ChatGPT to help me out a bit. lol The battery lasts very, very long but I also turned off all notifications except for messages and calls coming from my phone. One thing I am very disappointed with is that the screen scratches so easily. I worn it 3 days and it has a scratch all across the screen which I must have gotten during a workout. In general the watch feels a bit cheap and I find the price still very high considering the quality of the material.

Amazing battery life and easy to set up

I had a Vivoactive 5 for 2 years and really liked it. I never used all the functions (senior woman here). What sold me on the 6 is the battery life. Just WOW!!! 7 days later and the battery is still 51%. The watch face is pretty and so far I have been able to figure out how to use it- remember senior woman!!!

Awesome upgrade!

It's been about a month now, and it is pure love. I loved my Vivoactive 5, but this Vivoactive 6 is true love. First off, it's easier to set up. Second, what it offers is second to none. The new features are wonderful, and I love the wheelchair mode. The reminders are great; they get me moving. It's the perfect watch for me.

I switched to Garmin and now I'm wondering why I spent YEARS charging my Apple Watch every 5 minutes just for it to tell me to stand up. 😭 The battery life?? Elite. The workout stats?? Humbling, but I'm obsessed. The fitness and recovery tracking has me analyzing my body like I'm training for the Olympics when really I'm just trying to survive my workout class. 💀 Needless to say, I will NEVER go back to an Apple Watch. Garmin has me in a chokehold and honestly… I'm okay with it. Sorry Apple, it's not you… actually, yeah, it is. 😌

Plenty of options and solid performance.

I got the Vivoactive 6 to replace my Vivoactive 4 that finally gave up after many years of trusted use. The V-6 has many more features than the V-4 had, and the learning curve is high, but I very much enjoy all the options that are available with this watch. Customizable watch faces is the option I appreciate the most.

Mostly good

Most of the upgrades from my vivo 4 I like. However I am disappointed that they got rid of the altimeter for counting stairs. Also have repeated trouble stopping a workout. It doesn't always stop it and jumps to other screens. So overall it is a Meh!

New device outshines old by far.

This was a birthday present from my husband. He was tired of me complaining about the inaccuracy of my previous device( not naming names) This watch is fantastic!! I have only begun to explore all it can do but so far I am thrilled with it tracking my swim laps and times and swolf. No more counting! Can't wait to dive into my running stats. It also has much better messaging and I can listen to music without my phone. I was worried that it would be too big and clunky for my small wrist but it is very light and comfortable.
