Solid features, easy to use a reasonable value

Reasonably priced, solid features, and easy to use with decent info gathering. I was looking for a good product without a lot of concern for precision. I am not an athlete in training. Very happy with my purchase.

Love!

I switched from Apple to the vivoactive 6. I'm impressed with the garmin, wish I would have switched sooner. I love that it's primarily for health and fitness. I enjoy the minimal notifications. The tracking is also very accurate.

Best smart watch I've ever had!

I switched from another major brand, and I wish I'd switched sooner. The overall user experience and features are so much better with this watch. And I LOVE the long battery life.

Great upgrade

I decided I needed to upgrade from my Vivoactive 4S as it was no longer holding the charge so I went with the newer Vivoactive 6 and am very glad I did. There is so much more on it and easier to use.

Love 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.

Not as easy as the Apple Watch

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.

Seems to have been the right choice for me.

I have owned Garmin cyclometers for many, many years to measure my effort when cycling. My age (low 70s) has pushed me more into the gym than on the open road for workouts. I wasn't pleased with the type of information Fitbit was providing me. I moved to a Garmin watch and I've been very happy with it thus far. It pairs with all of my Garmin sensors and gives me useful feedback on workouts of all kinds. It seems to give very good monitoring of sleep habits and daily rest and exercise. Overall, this was a great choice for me.

Beautiful, Great Features, Failed in 2 months

Gorgeous screen with awesome features in sleep tracking, health monitoring, workouts, plus smartwatch features. My third Garmin Vivoactive series watch. The other two were rock solid. This one failed due to software issues after less than two months.

Not bad; not great

After 5 years of being an apply watch user I switched to garmin and am not very impressed. I do like the sleep statistics, but feel that the vivoactive is missing a lot of activities that I used to track all the time on my Apple Watch. If they added rock climbing/ bouldering, dancing, and barre I would be more impressed. It also has a lot of glitches.

Great Health Features

I bought this about a month ago to help improve my overall health. I felt like the garmin watch was able to provide me more health data than my Apple Watch could provide! So far I been really enjoying the he health features and the gps during runs. It's been interesting seeing all the features to figure how to decrease stress levels and improve overall cardiovascular health
