Summary: great upgrade to my Vivo 4S, feels like a major new design experience. The various features are now better placed to get same old "Intensity Minutes" and "Body Battery" upgraded and better placed. Sleep and stress integration are better positioned to be helpful. The physical watch weighs less but has bigger diameter with more display area. The band and watch feel better. Integration with Garmin Express, since I already had it for my Vivo 4S, was seamless but had new information data. Caveats: setup and use training is challenging, and the alleged documentation makes it necessary to use CoPilot or Gemini to answer how to do setup and operation, step by step. Perhaps investigate fast setup help at a local running store. I recommend sticking with the product despite a complex focus time to begin with. Good products take time to understand and provision to individual lifestyle, but now that I've been in process for a month, I feel the joy of a major helpful lifestyle appliance on my wrist.

This is my 4th or 5th different Vivoactive. I love them only upgrade to next model because I beat mine up. So with my new Half Dome training I wanted the new 6 to track HR and have new features. Sadly it is Not tracking HR. It will have me at 64 to 78 on leg day when Im dying. I check pulse and it will be 140 to 155. If I press watch down it works. I have played with tightness, location and cleaned. Only works well when pressed down. Maybe after all the good Ive had I got a lemon? Never had any of these issues with any of the other models. I work as a personal trainer and Im ALWAYS recommending Garmin.

So far I'm loving it and I'm still learning it. I had a fitbit for years but when it died I decided to try Garmin. I still have a lot to learn but so far I've been impressed. It was a learning curve and I'm still learning all the features this watch has but I am loving it!! I'm sure I'll love it even more as I learn all the features of this watch.

This is my 4th Garmin watch and the best one yet. It has great battery life and connects well. One of the features that I especially like is being able to set the font size at setup. I selected a large font size which makes it very easy to read. Love that it tells me Good Morning and gives me the weather. I am very happy with my purchase.

I bought this product a few weeks ago and, in terms of its physical appearance (size, color, and material), it is exactly what I expected and I really love it. However, the battery life is shorter than I anticipated, and for that reason I feel it loses some of its overall value.

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.

My Vivoactive 4 had a great feature under golf. It had a live screen telling the distance since the last impact. So I always knew how long I drove the ball. This was also handy to help locate an errant ball since i could go the direction of the ball and use the distance to reduce the search radius. It also helped give feedback on the impact of a swing change. I can't speak for the Vivoactive 5 but that feature was lost on the Vivoactive 6. There is a way to check the distance, but it is too cumbersome to actively use it on the golf course. All of the other changes that I've used have been nice and some real improvements.

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!

I have been using it for 3 weeks. Haven't worn a watch in several years. This watch is lightweight, and you can forget you have it on. Its fantastic. Im not tied to my phone anymore. It integrates seamlessly with ither apps like noom and strava. its motivated me to move more, join attainable challenges, and steadily improve and compare previous stats. It recommends sleep duration, and recovery from harsh activities. Reviews your quality of sleep and body battery. So far, no complaints

Nice looking watch, can wear when dressing up a bit or dressing down. Screen is bright and clear, and watch controls are fairly straightforward. Really like the watch. Lots of great information can be gleaned via the watch capabilities. Wish the battery time was a bit longer, but overall a great watch.
