I'm sure it's a great watch but still hanging on to my old more simple Garmin. Huge learning curve for 80 year old. Still struggling to get digital clock set up. It disappears somehow. I had a great experience with my 3 Garmins in past. Hopefully can same the same about this one in a few weeks.

I really like this watch, and it helps me remain focused on my fitness goals at all times. It is really well synced with my iPhone and communicates very well with just a glimpse at my watch. I would love to have my watch display the sunrise and sunset, like my last watch did for me. That maybe is just a change to my watch face display. But, I have not got there yet.

Gave my Forerunner 265 to my fiance and switched to this, since I wanted to branch out into other workouts. Love how it tracks things, tells me to get moving, and it tracks so many different activities! Only thing is the slots on the band don't go as far as on my forerunner and I have a really small wrist, so even on the tightest setting sometimes it moves around which is annoying

Bought for my grandson who loves it. He athletic %26 uses most of the functions.

The screen keeps going black for no reason. Have to fully restart it when it happens.

Personally, I don't like the watch. The installed face is ugly. I just want a face that gives time with a second hand. I haven't found one yet. No ring around edge for seconds. It's too sensitive to touch and is constantly changing things. I also don't like the way it changes things on it's own. I put it on in the morning land the face is something I don't want and didn't select. I want a watch that tells time, measures steps, gives me my heart rate. There may be other functions I could use This thing has far too many options. I don't want to work in a group of share my activities. It should be able to turn off any function you don't want and not have it appear on it's own. The "take a break and get some exercise" thing is particularly annoying. I have been working up a sweat and this "suggestion" pops up. How ridiculous can you get? I'll not buy another Garmin watch.

I bought this watch almost a month ago and am so glad I did. The workout tracking is amazing. I love the body battery and sleep scores. It really was what I was looking for overall in my previous watch from another brand. I also bought an oura ring, but needed something better with fitness. I love how customizable this is as well with watch faces, apps, etc.

I bought this a month ago (Aug 29, 2026) and I'm extremely disappointed with the heart rate monitor. I specifically bought this watch for this feature. I had a cardiac issue and I rely on this watch to keep me informed about my heart rate. I am being monitor on an EKG when exercising at the cardiac rehab. My actual heart rate was 124 and the watch had my heart rate at 76. I'm considering going back to my Apple watch!

I believe I have been wearing the watch for almost 3 weeks and happy when it comes to tracking my health data so far even though I know it's not 100% accurate (e.g. sleep). There are better devices out there for sleep or heart rate tracking but for what I use it for it is enough. I just started adding running into my workout routine and wanted a watch so I can improve my running but also track my strength workouts. I love that I can pause my runs easily with a push on a button. I also wanted a watch that I didn't feel bad about not wearing all the time because it just doesn't fit every outfit. lol The watch is a bit large on my small wrist but on the thinner side compared to Venu 4 which looked too bulky. The user interface is not the most intuitive and I needed ChatGPT to help me out a bit. lol The battery lasts very, very long but I also turned off all notifications except for messages and calls coming from my phone. One thing I am very disappointed with is that the screen scratches so easily. I worn it 3 days and it has a scratch all across the screen which I must have gotten during a workout. In general the watch feels a bit cheap and I find the price still very high considering the quality of the material.

I got the Vivoactive 6 to replace my Vivoactive 4 that finally gave up after many years of trusted use. The V-6 has many more features than the V-4 had, and the learning curve is high, but I very much enjoy all the options that are available with this watch. Customizable watch faces is the option I appreciate the most.
