Vivoactive 6

This watch is the most consistently inconsistent watch in regards to heart rate, resting and active! I expected more this product, and yes I have tried different fits as far as tightness and distance from wrist! Nothing works! It literally says my resting heart rate is 48-50 bpm which unrealistic and when im running or strength training it never goes above 145 bpm!

Excellent entry option

Bough this a few weeks back and absolutely love the features for the price point. This has helped me get back to active, properly train and try to live a healthier lifestyle. Highly recommend if you are looking for a solid entry level smartwatch and tracker!

Upgraded

I bought this a few weeks ago and I really like it so far! It's so light, durable, and easy to use! I was having trouble with my Apple Watch so I decided to switch it up and so far I really like it! I am so glad the battery lasts so long, I don't really wear it when I sleep but I do have a habit of forgetting to charge it, so it's great! The only downside is I wish I could put pictures on the watch face, but it's not THAT big of a deal. I love the watch and I feel like it's tracking is pretty accurate 😊

Great watch, amazing features!

Excellent watch! It stays charged for so long. I usually charge it when I shower so I can basically wear it all day. I am excited to use it to train for an upcoming marathon. Very easy to use, and I love seeing all of the stats it collects overnight and during the day .

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.

Classy watch

I bought this 2 weeks ago and the ease of using it is fantastic. My old garmin was starting to give me erroneous data. This one is smaller than the 265 and provides accurate data. It came with two protectors which iis nice but they are oversized compared to the watch face.

Exactly what I was looking for.

This is exactly what I was looking for in a new fitness watch with cycling features and easy connectivity to my existing Garmin cycling accessories. I commute by bike every day, and I wanted an easy fitness watch that could track my rides and my heart rate.

Excellent!

The Vivoactive6 provides the info I need to track my sleep score, steps and HRV. I like how it is easy to read, and deep dives into scoring. It doesn't sync with my JRNY Spin Bike App, but I can manually enter the data into the Garmin app for tracking.

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.

Amazing features!

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.
