Disappointed.

I bought this product last week and activated it a few days ago. So far it has not lived up to expectations. It doesn't count the steps properly. Sometimes it doesn't count them at all or plays catch up. Yesterday it was over 4,000 steps short versus my Fitbit. Today so far it is just under 800 steps short versus my Fitbit. My wife had a Garmin in the past and had issues with it and switched to a Fitbit. I thought I would give Garmin another try. A lot of money for something that can't accurately count steps. Done with Garmin.

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.

Maybe I got a Lemon

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.

Great Features & Easy To Use

I bought this watch about 3-4 weeks ago. It was easy to set up and use. I primarily use it to walk (tracking steps and distance) as well as cycling (paired with the 1050 Edge). It is comfortable to wear (important!) and has the right amount of "bells and whistles" to assist you on your health and wellness journey.

Better than the 5

I haven't used the activities much so far. One thing that has improved significantly over the 5 is how quick it connects to the GPS.

Good

I love the watch however I give it 3 stars because you guys don't give us a large band. These bands are so small. Otherwise it's great
