My husband bought this for me, but I wish I'd done some research beforehand. It's not as intuitive as my old Apple Watch and doesn't sync with my phone as easily. The battery is much better and it's good for swimming but every other feature isn't as easily accessible.

I've had my Smartwatch for a little over two weeks. It's taken me a little longer to get used to all the apps that are loaded. Maybe it's taken a little longer for me because I'm a senior citizen, but what I can say I love this watch. Tracks me on my exercises at the gym. I play golf a couple of times a week. I loaded my watch with all the golf courses I play. Tracks my score, plus a load of other valuable items.

I really like this watch, especially the long battery life. The previous smart watch I had needed to be charged every day (about 32 hours actual battery life) so was not useful for sleep monitoring. The Vivoactive 6 has many more useful features than my old smart watch.

I am a huge promoter of the Garmin apps and abilities now. I was afraid of not being able to wear it in my sleep as I never have worn a watch to bed, but it isn't noticeable. I wanted the smallest size possible and thought this was still going to be too big with my skin wrists, but it looks and feels great. I have never been able to get in a good workout habit until now. I also don't like spending money and was very skeptical if it would work for me, but it is the best money I have ever spent.

So far I love this watch, but I do wish that you could text back and make calls with iphones. I misread the description where it says something about only available with androids. It still pops up on the watch screen so I can still read the text, but I can't respond back on the watch like I expected to. As for calling, I can answer calls but it goes to my phone speaker, not the watch itself.

I love my watch! I recently started having seizures and this watch had made it so that I can alert my husband immediately so that he can call for help. It has fall detection and it has truly been a life saver. It also helps me keep my health and stress levels under control. I am so grateful this product was available.

I've had a Garmin since I was 11 years old, this is my fourth one after my last one from 2022 shut down/died. I've always loved Garmin products, the Vivoactive is a nice sleek look with everything you could need, still getting used to some of the bells and whistles but so far I love it!

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.

The watch is aesthetically pleasing. Super lightweight. An excellent option for some. I had just over two weeks with the watch, wearing it and training daily. After only one day I knew it wasn't for me. It lacks essential features for my lifestyle, no altimeter and it feels to delicate. I spent every day I had with it worried I was going to damage the bezel or glass. I returned the Vivoactive 6 for an Instinct 3 which I feel will be a more appropriate fit for my lifestyle and training regimen. The vivoactive 6 is a beautiful watch that IMO belongs with the yoga/aerobics crowd. Not for those who engage in heavy training and rugged outdoor activities.

I am overall very happy with the watch. Beautiful display a lot more activities to choose from compared to my Vivoactive 3 Music. My only complaint is that the live event sharing defaults to off. It will stay on for 24 hours, but then kicks off. Why? Other than that, all is good.
