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.

Froze a mile into my 5 mile run

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….

Versatile

Happy with the features that the watch provides. Sleep score is great, reports are handy. The biggest flaw (which I think is big) is that there is no barometer/altimeter. With there being set challenges for climbs, its ironic that this watch doesn't have those amenities

Too many functions!!!

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.

Great upgrade from my Vivoactive HR

Everything works great on this watch, with a lot of great upgrades from my old watch. The screen is big and clear and easy to read. The GPS sync is very fast! Definitely worth the purchase price. The only thing that doesn't work as well as my old one is the stair climb function. My old one was very good at sensing elevation changes, the new one doesn't measure that at all when not using the GPS.

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.

Love it

I upgraded from the Fitbit Sense 2 to this watch and I could not be happier. I love the stats and how customizable it is, I also like how it looks. I am a runner with a very energetic dog - he likes to stop all the time and then run intervals - and this watch doesn't shame me for slow overall times, it shows run, walk, and stops so I have an idea of how I'm doing and how much time I spend stopped for him.

LOVE everything about it!

The last month has been amazing! The Vivoactive6 is great. I am capturing my stats and it is giving me the motivation make better health choices. I especially love the ease of adding my hydration. I work as a scrub and circulating nurse in the operating room. My work environment is dry with limited break time. I am chronically dehydrated. Now I am able to track my consumption and meet my goals. I am capturing my steps which allow me to increase as needed. I am capturing my Pilates, biking, and walking. The sleep function is an eye opener. Now I can really see what is happening at night. Everything about my V6 is easy, fun and motivating. I also love that I can easily change my band to match my activity. Work-stretch to wear on my upper forearm. A cute rose one for fashion. The factory default when I am doing other activities. Love Love Love it all!

what i was looking for

I am a type one diabetic searching for a new watch capable of accommodating my busy lifestyle and displaying my blood sugar readings on the watch face. After extensive research into various watches, I selected the Vivoactive 6 for its comprehensive features, and I anticipate it will be a long-term companion. The watch is impressive with all its technological advancements, and the golf feature is particularly innovative.

Love this to help me stick to my goals!

I've had the vivoactive 6 for about a month now and I love it. The look of it is simple and goes with most clothing! It holds a charge for about a week with regular use. The sleep tracking is fairly accurate and it has pushed me to reach my step and fitness goals. Overall, happy with my decision to buy!
