First time Garmin user

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.

Regretting my disappointment

Purchased on line to upgrade my vivoactive 3 music and was initially disappointed. 1st issue was was low light screen auto dimming. My vision is not great without readers and could not see much in low light without first finding my glasses or a light source to brighten the display. Somehow navigating from apps to widgets and systems settings seemed less intuitive than the vivo 3 but honestly I didn't give it much of a chance. I decided that I wanted a bigger screen as well so have spent too much time sifting through watch reviews and now wish I'd kept the vivo 6. Right tech at a good price.

Love it!

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!

Great fitness watch

I personally love my watch. It's creating new habits for fitness and overall health in my life. The sleep score, body battery, and calories count is my favorite monitoring feature on the watch. I love to use it for strength training and HIIT. Those are all of my pros. The only con so far is the battery life only seems to be 7 days, then it needs a charge. I'm curious to know if it due to the amount of notification or use i've given it for the amount of time i've had it for. It's been about 3 weeks now. But overall, i love this watch and now am a fan of Garmin.

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.

Very useful.

Been using the V6 for a couple of weeks now. Wearing it to bed and at the gym. Mostly to track heart rate. Does a great job and I trust it. Not sure I understand many of the features such as the sleep quality monitor and the stress monitor. The manual is very good at explaining how to use various functions, but it doesn't explain how the various outputs are determined and what they mean. I'm a big Garmin fan and would recommend this device to anyone wanting a reasonably priced high quality health watch.

The Garmin vívoactive 6 has a clean, balanced design that doesn't feel overly techy or too sporty. It looks great for everyday wear while still delivering all the fitness and training tracking I need. From daily activity to structured workouts, everything is there without feeling bulky or distracting. A solid choice if you want one watch that works just as well in daily life as it does in training.

Go this Garmin watch to replace my Fitbit Versa 3. I liked the Fitbit, but this Garmin is much nicer. The screen is bigger, clearer, and easier to navigate. The watch has every function that the Fitbit had and more. The Garmin Connect app is a nice addition as well, especially to keep track of your logged activities. Would definitely recommend.

Vito Active Upgrade

I purchased the Vivoactive 6 because I wanted to upgrade my current Garmin watch (Vivoactive 3). I love the brighter screen and longer battery life. I have found the Vivoactive 6 easy to learn and use. I love getting daily reports on my fitness, sleep and body energy. Also like the new color I purchased!

Doesnt live up to its predecessor

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.
