Prefer the Vivioactive 4s

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”.

very nice watch

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!

Impressive Device!

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.

Solid watch

I have been wearing the watch for about a month now and really like it. I bought it as a replacement for my vivioactive 4. My only complaint is the watch face options. I like a minimalistic watch but most of the options that are minimalistic cost money. Like the only thing I want to see is time, date(day/month), and watch battery. The custom watch face option is cool but after I pick the things I want to see it places them in odd locations so spacing is weird.

Loving it!

I had a previous version (vivoactive 4s) and really liked it. With certain upgrades, I decided to go with this newer version. While there were some differences that took a bit to get used to, I am loving the new one! The sleep tracking is so much better, and it is more in tune to my daily life. I'm by no means a serious athlete, so I'm more interested in the day-to-day stuff, and this delivers!

I love this watch!

Great watch for step & sleep numbers! I truly love the battery life too. As much as I enjoy my Apple Watch (I do wish Garmin had the photo option that Apple does) the battery on my Garmin is the best, was in the woods for a week and the charge lasted the entire time.

great!

I am not very good at reviews, but I hope that I can do justice to the vivoactive 6. I love it. It gives me a report every morning and every evening. If I don't get enough sleep it tells me, and it tells me what exercises I can do, in order to get a good night's sleep. It is customizable, and I love all the watch faces.

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!

sleeker model and so many great features

I upgraded from the vivoactive 4 to this watch about a month ago. My older version wasn't keeping a charge long enough and was not up to date with the latest features. This watch is much sleeker in its design and has all the features I wanted with a battery that lasts a good long time. I am finding it's a bit more complicated to use, but there is always a learning curve with a new watch.

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.
