Healthier Mindset

While the vivoactive 6 may be a stylish accessory, it is also a super supportive assistant that calls attention to positive health changes that I need to made habitual. Since wearing the watch, my awareness has increased as I track nutritional meals, alcohol consumption, and exercise. Having this information at the forefront each day has made a huge impact on my mindset in a short time and I am incredibly grateful.

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.

Love it!

I have only had this product for a few weeks but I love it so far! Battery lasts for at least a week even using it to record daily workout/hikes/walks. I am just a casual user (not training for anything, not particularly athletic) so it's great for me! It tells me I have a stressful day nearly every day so I'm not sure what to make of that but I've enjoyed trying to get my sleep score up

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 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!

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!

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.

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!

Great lifestyle appliance, expect setup focus

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.
