Convert!

For several years I owned/used a Garmin 945 Forerunner. Really like it but I'm not longer running and instead biking and doing strength workouts. I didn't know if I'd like the Vivoactive 6 as well. I don't. I like it better! Here is what I like: - Touch screen is super easy to use and intuitive. - LED screen is extremely easy to read. - Battery lasts and lasts. I was going to buy an I-watch until I saw it had to be charged daily. - The morning report is very informative. In short, I am VERY glad I purchased the Vivoactive 6! It is everything I hoped it would be, and more!

Love my Garmin!

I actually won my watch and I was an Apple Watch wearer. I decided to give it a try. I love the battery life, and it does everything my other watch does. It still connects to my Apple phone…receives messages, phone calls, and gives great details from sleep to tracking exercise! I am still figuring out all of the features! So, I give this watch five stars!!!

Not impressed so far

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.

Love my new Garmin Vivoactive

This is my third Garmin Vivoactive. I believe I have been wearing them for 10-15 years; the first ones battery wouldn't last as long as I led after several years of triathlons and marathons and the second one quit tracking several things after I dropped it and cracked the crystal. The new one has many new features I like including it is quite light, tracks naps (which us old guys take from time to time), and the face is much more attractive. I don't know if there are other options for the face on this one because I like just the way it came out of the box. It works great and though I have had it for 2-3 weeks, I have only charged it once.

Great fitness watch

I've had a Garmin before and absolutely love them. They provide wonderful insight into your health and fitness and are perfect for anyone who's looking to be more health/fitness oriented on a daily basis. I run and swim frequently and this watch is perfect for these sports, I'm excited to use it for snowboarding this winter! I love the feedback and analysis I get after each workout.

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.

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.

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.
