This watch is the worst piece of technology I have ever experienced. It is impossible to figure out and after using it for 2 weeks it now says it's not connected. Wish I never purchased it

I bought this Garmin device to replace my Vivoactive 4 that died while I was swimming after a few years of life! This one has many more features and is working great. It was very easy to activate and connect to my devices.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love that the battery lasts me over a week and measures so many health stats. I'll never use anything else!

Love all the features and stats. I recently was diagnosed with POTS/Dysautonomia and i appreciate how the watch helps me monitor my symptoms and helps me be more aware how my energy I have within a day.

So far so good. Only thing I'm noticing is maybe the battery life. I lowered the brightness, so I will see how it goes from here. No issues with it shutting off, so that's a good sign.

This has changed my running game. I have always used my phone to track my runs, but this has made it so much easier to track as I run without having to open my phone.

Just switched from my Apple watch to Garmin, vivoactive 6. Happy to report that I love the watch, particularly as i am a swimmer (4-5 times a week). The watch gives me data during my long swims (that's why I switched mostly) and the battery life is much, much better than the Apple Watch. I do not get 10 days from it, but mostly because I have haptic notification etc. from my iphone. The only negative: Garmin, please integrate data better with the Apple Health app. I installed Bevel to get some more data, but alas, HRV etc. aren't coming through.

I honestly am not sure how I feel about this watch. For me I wished I would have got a different watch than the Vivoactive 6! I think the issue for me is I really wanted a bigger screen. I should have researched each one prior to purchasing this particular watch. I'm stuck between the forerunner and the Venu. Overall it's a great watch.

I purchased this watch last month after my Fitbit died. I tried another Fitbit but it would not sync with my phone. I had a Garmin in the past so looked at what was available. Still trying to step up the activities but truthfully not spending a lot of time on it. As long as I can get my steps the rest will work itself out.

I am age 65 and have used many types of fitness trackers. Last was a W**'s brand but I just didn't love it. I already use a Garmin Approach S70 for golf and started using it daily after giving up on the other brand but wanted something smaller/lighter. The Vivioactive 6 exceeded my expectations. It's lighter than the Approach so for a few days I thought I took it off - but it was there. The Garmin Connect App is one of the other reasons for loving this watch. Both Garmin watches sync effortlessly so as I go between watches on golf days with the data still in one spot. I can even add my golf data to GHIN from the Garmin Connect App... very convenient. I find the vivioactive to be small enough for everyday wear and can easily change bands for fashion. The battery life is excellent, and I charge it when playing golf with my other Garmin, so never seem to feel like I need to "stop" to charge it. Just did an hour of water aerobics with the watch and liked the data from the session. There are many tutorials "out there" to allow you resources to personalize your watch. I'm not done making modifications, but with very little effort selected my watch face and basic performance settings. The watch also prompts you for set up assistances. I am SOLD on the Garmin brand now between the two watches and two apps (I still use Garmin Golf).
