Vivoactive6

I replaced my vivoactive4 with the 6 and it is a great improvement. It is more accurate in tracking my reps during strength training. The GPS kicks in almost immediatly after acticvation where as the 4 made me wait up to several minutes before it activated. Great up grade!

Great Smart Watch!

I made the switch from an iwatch because I wanted a round faced watch. The Garmin vivoactive 6 does almost everything the iwatch did. Since I have an iphone I cannot respond to a text or answer a phone call from the Garmin, but that is not a deal breaker for me. I almost always have the phone near by so it isn't a big deal to grab the phone and answer. I love the graphics and ease of use. I am not a big exerciser, but I do like to track my walks and bike rides. I can still interface the into with Strava so my friends can see my progress. You can also customize the face and what you want to see on the watch face. I love the green color, too. I highly recommend the Garmin Vivoactive 6!

Not a great watch

I replaced my Vivoactive 4 with the 6 and have had nothing but trouble. The set up was difficult compared to the 4. And twice the screen has gone black. I can hear the beeps when I push the buttons but no screen. It eventually came back on after about 10 minutes. I reached out to support and received no help.

Great all around fitness watch

I had the vivoactive 6 for about month. Upgraded from a vivoactive 3. Great everyday watch and fitness tracker. I'd give it a five if it tracked elevation and stairs climbed like the va3 did. Battery life is excellent so far. I'll be charging if for only the second time since started using it tonight.

So much info!

Love my new vivoactive! So much more information than with the FitBit. And I connect with family on fun challenges. Only thing is my text messages are not coming through even though all the other phone notifications are. Trying to troubleshoot this. Any suggestions?

Awesome Purchase

I bought this for myself almost a month ago after hemming-and-hawing if I really needed a fitness tracking device. It is so much more than I expected. I love this accessory. It averages out my daily steps because there are days I am unable to wear my watch all day. The elliptical tracking is my favorite to watch my aerobic heart rate. Oh and its a watch. It's a great purchase that I hope you enjoy as much as I do.

More than worth the price.

I have had the Vivoactive 6 for 2 weeks upgrading from a FitBit Versa 2. My biggest issue is the size of the print, I thought I saw a place to make it bigger but can't relocate the place in settings. I like the battery 11 plus days compared to 2 maybe 3 on the FitBit. It was worth hassle to change exercise platforms. The only other issue I have is getting the steps to be equal in Connect and Google Fit. If you're on the fence and have a FitBit, just do it this watch has everything you're used to and more.

Perfect for the Gym and Daily Health

I absolutely love my Garmin Vivoactive 6 — it's hands-down the best fitness and health watch I've ever owned. As someone who's in the gym regularly and cares about tracking daily health metrics, this watch delivers on all fronts. In the gym, it tracks my strength training, cardio, and even rest periods with impressive accuracy. I can see my heart rate in real time, monitor my intensity levels, and review detailed workout summaries afterward — it's like having a personal trainer on my wrist. Outside of workouts, I use it constantly to monitor my sleep, stress, and even my body battery. It helps me stay on top of my overall wellness, not just fitness. The daily reminders to move, breathe, and take care of myself actually keep me more mindful and balanced. The watch itself looks great, feels super comfortable, and the battery lasts for days — even with daily workouts and all-day health tracking. If you're serious about fitness and want a watch that supports your health 24/7, the Vivoactive 6 is 100% worth it. I'm beyond happy with mine!

Great watch

I really like this watch, but I am confused on some of the readings I get after my runs, I do t know if it's about me not using it correctly or I'm not used to it, but the pace it gives me has t changed even though my time has improved, I'm still trying to figure it out

Great for walking & running

I got this three weeks ago and have walked over 100 miles with it. I've also done strength training with it- but it's better at tracking cardio. It tries to guess what strength training movement you're doing and reps but seems to be off which is fine if you have the time to go in and edit it after your workout. Wayyyyy better at tracking 6-10 mile walks/runs than my Apple Watch ever was. Apple Watch was off by 2 miles one run which is why I made the switch. SO glad I did!
