I was an avid Apple Watch user for 10 years but then found myself very frustrated with the battery life. I decided to look into a garmin watch and just went for it. What could I lose? It's honestly the best decision I've made! I'm glad I didn't spend another dime on an Apple Watch but instead got a watch that last days and the features are incredible!

ive only had it a week, but the battery is still at 60% and the exercise tracking seems pretty accurate. i love that it has music storae so my phone no longer has to come with me. the band is snug and comfortable. i look forward to using more features!

My partner has been using this watch for a few weeks now and it has been awesome! They are an extremely active person just like myself and so we are always putting them to the test. Its a bit less rugged so I would keep this recommendation towards work that isn't going to be physically harsh on the device or towards people looking for a more stylish smart watch that is built for an active lifestyle. It has been a great watch so far and is easy enough to use. It looks really nice and does everything an active person would want it to do and more. The battery life is fantastic compared to apple, fitbit, or galaxy watches.

I purchased the Vivoactive 6 two weeks ago, and it's significantly enhanced my running experience. The HRV and extensive fitness data were key selling points. I'm thrilled with the wealth of new data available, but there's one major drawback: Spotify integration. Unfortunately, the software isn't optimized, and I need to uninstall the app every few days to ensure smooth music playback. Hopefully, Garmin will address this issue soon.

I gotta say I'm not very impressed with it so far. The fact that I can't control which apps send notifications to the watch (for iOS it all or nothing. If you get a notification on your phone, you get it on the watch. No exceptions.) is bordering on a dealbreaker for me. I like the body battery feature, and that's mostly what I bought it for, but it's not very intuitive to use and interpret. Reading the stats on the watch is somewhat clunky, and the app isn't particularly intuitive. I also wish there were more plug and play watch faces with a slightly cleaner look. I don't want to do all the fussing with the Connect app to find a face that I probably have to pay extra for anyway. So far the transition from FitBit to Garmin has been challenging and I'm not sure if I'll be able to stick it out or have to pivot back. Trying to give it a real shot though.

It works wonderfully as an all around fitness watch for me. Only drawbacks are in some of the recording accuracy. When counting reps its only 80% accurate, but you have the ability to alter it afterward so its not a huge issue for me personally. There's also some clunkyness in the app around the coach, errors in the coach displaying workout plans and updates from day to day. There are work arounds but they can be annoying. The hardware itself has been great and i love the adaptability of the interface.

Got this watch to replace a Withings. Wanted a fitness lifestyle watch, not a running watch, (I'm not a runner), this watch fits the bill perfectly. Only wish the update didn't make the face dimmer that original at night. Just a skosh brighter would be appreciated.

So far I am satisfied with the performance of the features of my watch, but there is still a lot to be desired. The battery life doesn't last near as long as the estimate seems to display. As well as the charging port doesn't secure well to the charger so if I'm not intentional it occasionally won't charge.

I was very excited to get this smartwatch. Four days after I started wearing it, I got a 1/4 inch scratch at the 12 o'clock mark. I'm a private duty nurse, and I barely bumped a smooth wood corner on my patient's bed. Every time I notice the scratch, it makes me sad. I've had multiple devices with Gorilla Glass, and have never had an experience like this before. Otherwise, it's a great watch so far.

I just got the vivoactive 6 after having the vivoactive 4 for the past few years. Wow, what a great update! Graphics are so much brighter and added insights like sleep and sleep coach is great! And the extended battery life is amazing! I had to charge my old one every night and this one can go for days without a charge!!!
