Inaccurate, doesn't track steps

I got my Garmin after Google ruined Fitbit. The Vivoactive is pretty, but I wore it with my Fitbit on the other wrist for the first week or so, and the Garmin consistently picked up 1000-2000 fewer steps per day. Just now I walked across the room. Started with 5969 steps. After walking 15 steps it read 5944. After walking 15 more steps it read 5944. Wondering if I got a defective one.

Pleasantly pleased with the Garmin vivoactive 6

I purchased my Garmin approx three weeks ago. My Fitbit Sense died after six years of faithful service so I made this purchase after researching which watch closely resembled my previous watch. It is taking time to learn what I can do with this watch but to date I am pretty pleased with the Garmin. This past week I paired/synced it to My Fitness Pal app. The fact that I already owned a Garmin Approach G80 golf range finder is an added plus for golf and my other activities. Looking forward to learn more about my vivoactive 6.

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.

Bang for the buck !!

This is watch is truly amazing. Always been a bigger watch guy— have had the Fenix line for some time, Instinct as well. This watch has the most bang for the buck out of all the lines. It's a bit small for my wrist but the Amoled display makes up for the small face with my aging eyes. This is the way.

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.

What a great Watch!

I love my vivo active 6 Garmin! I have used a Fitbit for ten years and when I was on vacation it died. My husband suggested a Garmin. He just happens to have one too. Anyway, I loved it right out of the box! It came in record time and in great condition. I am not much of a tech person, but this was so easy to set up and get going. I learn something every day that I can apply to my health and fitness. It even tells me good morning and good evening every day. Such a nice touch. They thought of everything. Love my Garmin.

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)!

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.

Good product. User manual/instructions could be be

I'm enjoying the watch but am definitely underutilizing its features. That's primarily because I find the user manual non-intuitive in the way it's laid out. Also I find the function to select/add/edit yoga postures cumbersome. Hoping to figure out an easier way to configure and use it for the activities I do most often.

Great watch

I originally bought a Lily Active and loved it, but decided I wanted a few more features so I upgraded to a Vivoactive 6. I'm so happy I did. It's lightweight, fits comfortably on my wrist and is easy to use. If you're on the fence, go ahead and make the purchase. It's worth it!
