I bought the watch for golf. When it worked it was fine. However I only got it to work one time out of 7 times. It is now locked and I am not going to research it to unlock the watch. I plan on taking it back. There are many functions besides golf that I am not interested in.

I have had this watch for 5 days & my first run with it & it freezes a mile in. Not only did I lose access to music, but I lost all tracking, too. I tried resetting it, but it wouldn't work - I was still trying to run. When I finished my run I was able to apply enough pressure for long enough to finally reset. Extremely disappointed, especially after having my 4s die on me after less than 3 years….

Great product as per usual from Garmin, only thing to consider is that it picked up a small scratch on the screen first time using it during an MTB crash. Not the fault of the watch itself but maybe could consider another Garmin model with more protection or try find a screen protector if this is a scenario you could foresee happening to you.

My Fitbit that I had for a few years had to be charged nightly. Switched over to the Garmin vivoactive6 right before a conference and was impressed that I could go days without charging it I really wish they would make ankle bands since my hands are not always free at conferences

Love the features and the fact that the battery last for days. My Apple Watch the battery has to be charged each night and wanted it to see how my sleep was and to track my steps and was unable to do that. But with my Garmin I don't have to worry about it running out of battery.

I bought this about a month ago and it's been problematic since day one. It constantly freezes, turns off, and has been riddled with problems. When it doesn't do those things it was good. I've exhausted all the things that garmin has told me to try and it still has the same problems. I'm not the only one experiencing these issues. Now the place that I have bought it from is dragging their feet and refusing to return it. So now I'm left with a watch that only works half the time. I've since bought the garmin forerunner 265 and it's been leaps and bounds better than the vivoactive 6. I'm just so disappointed to be out of the cash that I paid for it.

I upgraded my Vivoactive 4 to the Viviactive 6 and am diappointed. The watch is smaller and the features are much mor difficult to get to than on the 4. Also, it doesn't turn on very good when I move my wrist as required. I wish I had not bought it.

I was previously a Garmin owner and moved away to another brand. After several months of inaccurate tracking, it was time to go back to Garmin. The Vivoactive 6 came out and it was in my favorite color green. It was meant to be. Ive been wearing it most of the time and comparing the data between the two devices. It is definitely more accurate in tracking my steps and Im still learning how to track my workouts as the system has changed a bit in 8 years. I feel it gives me accurate data on the sleep, heart rate and other areas too.

I received this as a gift because my Father knows that I love my Vivioactive 4s. I wore the Vivioactive 6 for about two weeks and switched back to the 4s. I don't like the display on the 6. The 4s is “always on”, even when using Face It, my own pictures. The 6 can't be “always on” when using Face It. Also, I wear the watch on the inside of my wrist so “gestures” doesn't work. So it's essentially “display never on”.

Replaced my Vivoactive 4 with a 6. First 6's crystal developed multiple craze cracks in the crystal after 3 days and normal wear. Garmin stood behind its product and replaced it. 5 days later my new Vivoactive 6 developed a small crack at the 5 o'clock position. I was hard on my Vivoactive 4 for 4 years and never had an issue. Love the new features on the 6. Durability or quality control issues concern me. No abuse on my part. Normal wear and tear. Disappointed.
