I'm an active user, working out 3 times or more a week. I've had both an Apple watch and a Fitbit. The heart rate is my primary feature with GPS tracking secondary. This watch does both accurately and I don't need to recharge it twice a day or have it go dead in the middle of a trail. That said, getting up to speed on how to use the Garmin was far from easy. I was disappointed that I had to manually enter the profiles for each type of activity.

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 have had owned Garmin watches for over 20 years. The vivoactive 6 is the best i have experienced to date. I recently updated to this watch and use it in place of an Apple watch that I tried and did not stay with. The battery life is excellent except when in the golf app. Most of the apps I have used so far are excellent. The golf app is basic and does not have the features that a full golf watch has, but it is adequate. The exercise and health apps are an improvement over my previous watch the Vivoactive 4

Purchased this after a little research finding it was one of the smallest on the market. So far it's been great. Band is comfortable and battery lasts. Screen appears durable, but I did go ahead and put a screen protector on it because I am rough with things on my hands/wrists due to work.

For close to 5 years i had the Vivoactive 4. this watch came in two sizes, the 4 and the 4s. unfortunately the 6 only comes in 1 size and its smaller than the 4 that i had. additionally, the 4 and the 5 both have a barometric altometer which is used for counting floors, however the 6 just doesnt have it. so now there is no credit given for floors/flights earned. how do we go from having features on prior models and just simply not include them on a newer model? very disappointed.

I bought this watch to replace a Vivoactive 4S. I thought this watch would have all the features of the 4S and more. I wasn't pleased with the larger size but there is no Vivoactive 6S. In lieu of the smaller size I thought Garmin would at least have included a second bands to fit smaller wrists. They did not. My daughter's much less expensive smart watch came with a long and a short band. The main feature I miss from the 4S is the altimeter. My 4S had one, the 6 does not. I'm recovering from an injury right now but my hope is the GPS will be able to judge the terrain sufficiently to give accurate elevation measurements. Aside from that I like the watch. The screen is brighter than the 4S. The clock features are great. I like the auto reset feature on the timer. The sleep metrics, while I'm not sure how accurate, are fun to look at. The nap feature is interesting though not entirely accurate. I like the evening and morning reports and enjoy looking at the other statistics that either weren't available or required going into the Garmin app to find. I love the longer battery life. I use the timers right now but due to the bad weather and my injury I'm not using the GPS much. I've been getting between 8 and 9 days on a charge. My old one lasted about 2-3 days in the weeks before it finally failed. Still better than other brands of smartwatches other family members use.

Recently upgraded from the Vivoactive 4 and was blown away with the improvements. The display is gorgeous, the battery lasts more than double what it ever did on my 4, and it does ALMOST everything I need. I miss the barometric altimeter for elevation. Otherwise it's been awesome!

Got this for my wife as she was tired of her Apple watch. I did a lot of research online to figure out which one would be best for her. Yeah it won't do everything an apple watch does BUT it does do things an Apple Watch doesn't do. Go on YouTube to hear the product breakdown from people to learn warm. She would recommend it to anyone. The watch is customizable in many ways and looks great. The only negative was she got irritation from the band.

I've had this for about a month now and I could not be happier!! It's easy to use, the health features are thorough and more accurate than my last watch (Apple Watch Series 6), and has a sleek design! I would recommend to anyone who is active and wants more heath insights!

I am a huge promoter of the Garmin apps and abilities now. I was afraid of not being able to wear it in my sleep as I never have worn a watch to bed, but it isn't noticeable. I wanted the smallest size possible and thought this was still going to be too big with my skin wrists, but it looks and feels great. I have never been able to get in a good workout habit until now. I also don't like spending money and was very skeptical if it would work for me, but it is the best money I have ever spent.
