Disappointed

This is my third Garmin fitness tracker and surprisingly the quality is decreasing. Although it offers many additional features, the fitness tracking and sleep is inconsistent. My heart rate tracking stops sporadically and the only way to reset is to do a hard shutdown. I called about this and was told sometimes it needs to do updates when a watch is new. It seems like I shouldn't need to do a system shutdown daily for a Garmin to work properly.

Lightweight and versatile!

Coming from the quite indestructible Fenix Pro Solar 6, I was torn on what to get for my lifestyle. I am quite clumsy, and the Fenix never even got a scratch. It just stopped connecting to my phone. I settled on the Vivo6, and so far, I LOVE it! I lift weights, run, yoga, paddle board, ride horses and run a farm. I have a full cover/screen protector for my vivo, and it is handling my life very well.

Great features!

I am still trying to familiarize myself with all of the features. Have been using Garmin watches for many years and I'm always surprised at all the new features that are packed into it. I match it with a Garmin body scale, and a Garmin blood pressure cuff to keep track of all health related info. All my stats are downloaded in the Garmin Connect app, and I can track it on my laptop, phone, or watch. Great product(s)!

Great features

I started with a Vivosmart 4 that was gifted to me. I decided to upgrade and after researching all the different options out there, I decided to stay with Garmin and purchased the Vivoactive 6. It's user friendly and easy to customize the face. The battery lasts about 11 days, which is a major feature for me. The band it comes with is very comfortable and if you want to switch the band, it couldn't be easier.

Perfect for Fitness Tracking

I have really enjoyed my new Garmin! The features are great and it is perfect for my long runs, sleep tracking, and knowing when I need to rest and recover. I switched over from apple watch and I am glad I did. While it doesn't integrate with my phone as well as the apple watch, I feel like it is much better for tracking my activities and health. There was a little bit of a learning curve with the functionality and settings but it wasn't anything a quick search could solve! I would highly recommend this device and it being HSA eligible is even more of a bonus.

Super watch

I'm love my garmin vivoactive 6 watch!! I have been an Apple Watch user previously, and this change has been amazing. Battery health is 7-10 days for me which is a huge improvement compared to my previous watch. I like how I'm able to see all the data for my activities in the app, sleep report and body battery are my fav features!! In love with my super watch-that's how I've named her :)

I'm not thrilled so far...

I haven't been very happy with this watch so far. I haven't even had it a month and had to hard-reset it twice for it to simply register I was wearing it. It has missed entire nights of sleep, and has my heart rate ranges way off (160 BPM is in the 'green zone?') That's when the heart rate tracking works. I'm debating returning it.

I bought this a month ago, and it mostly is fine. I am annoyed that the sleep feature will not track if I wake up and fall back asleep to factor that into my sleep score. I often wake up at the same time every day and am able to fall back asleep, but if I am up for more than 5 minutes, the watch will not track the rest of the sleep even if it's more than an hour. This is disappointing to me.

So glad I switched

I bought this because I was tired of charging my galaxy watch twice a day. Wasn't aware of all the extras that came with it. I love the fitness tracking but mostly, I love the little inspirational messages after my morning report. I am still learning all the functions but I woulld recommend this to anyone.

Great purchase!

I turned in my Apple watch and switched to Garmin. So far I am very pleased I did! I based my decision on reviews and current Garmin users and Garmin's reputation. I am very happy with how it is performing. My Apple phone synced flawlessly and I am using the Garmin Connect app. My Apple health app works to record watch data also. The activities data is much enhanced over Apple watch data also. I have not used the watch with All Trails yet but am looking forward to that very soon for hiking. I am very happy with the watch face and all the displays. The extended battery life is just as advertised! I have the watch and band in all rose pink. Great decision!
