Beautiful functional watch with a LONG battery lif

I bought this 2 weeks ago and I'm really pleased with everything about it. I had a Vivo active 5 for 2 years. It was working fine except that I had to charge it about every 3 days and that was annoying. I thought ( senior here!!) that it would take me forever to learn how to use my new watch, but it was surprisingly easy. Now I don't use many of the other functions, but it's perfect for my limited requirements. And I have been charging it after about 9 days!!!!

Great watch, ditch the screenless band

I've had a number of sports tracking watches and this is by far the best. I have also had three different screenless bands (whoop, polar, etc.) and this watch is light enough to ditch wearing a band and getting everything you need from a full-function sports smart watch. I replaced the Vivo's OEM watch band with a nice (standard/inexpensive) lightweight nylon/velcro band and I can easily sleep with this watch on to get sleep, recovery, and HRV data.

Amazing battery life and easy to set up

I had a Vivoactive 5 for 2 years and really liked it. I never used all the functions (senior woman here). What sold me on the 6 is the battery life. Just WOW!!! 7 days later and the battery is still 51%. The watch face is pretty and so far I have been able to figure out how to use it- remember senior woman!!!

Great motivator

I bought this to keep better track of my steps, sleep and overall health. I've been very happy with it and it does push me to keep moving if I've had low step days or rest more if I've had bad night of sleep. And I charge it once a week which is a big plus.

I switched to Garmin and now I'm wondering why I spent YEARS charging my Apple Watch every 5 minutes just for it to tell me to stand up. 😭 The battery life?? Elite. The workout stats?? Humbling, but I'm obsessed. The fitness and recovery tracking has me analyzing my body like I'm training for the Olympics when really I'm just trying to survive my workout class. 💀 Needless to say, I will NEVER go back to an Apple Watch. Garmin has me in a chokehold and honestly… I'm okay with it. Sorry Apple, it's not you… actually, yeah, it is. 😌

New device outshines old by far.

This was a birthday present from my husband. He was tired of me complaining about the inaccuracy of my previous device( not naming names) This watch is fantastic!! I have only begun to explore all it can do but so far I am thrilled with it tracking my swim laps and times and swolf. No more counting! Can't wait to dive into my running stats. It also has much better messaging and I can listen to music without my phone. I was worried that it would be too big and clunky for my small wrist but it is very light and comfortable.

Mostly good

Most of the upgrades from my vivo 4 I like. However I am disappointed that they got rid of the altimeter for counting stairs. Also have repeated trouble stopping a workout. It doesn't always stop it and jumps to other screens. So overall it is a Meh!

Nice health and fitness tracker

I have enjoyed the Vívoactive 4, 5, and now 6. However, I must say I really miss the altimeter that tracked flights of stairs in the 4 model. It was removed in the 5 and still remains gone. Since the majority of my activities are HIIT, walking, and strength training, I find the vívoactive fits my needs for fitness tracking, and I enjoy the health tracking features as well, such as sleep tracking and hydration. The 6 has added activities like hiking, which the 5 lacked, so that is a plus. Overall, I am pleased with the update. I would give it a 5 if it had the altimeter back, but a 4 is still pretty good. For the price, I felt I got a good deal. I also love the integration it has with my iPhone, and while I do not use the music or payment features, I appreciate they are there. The battery life is great, and I appreciate not having to charge my watch daily. Though my 5 did get that way at the end of its life.

Awesome upgrade!

It's been about a month now, and it is pure love. I loved my Vivoactive 5, but this Vivoactive 6 is true love. First off, it's easier to set up. Second, what it offers is second to none. The new features are wonderful, and I love the wheelchair mode. The reminders are great; they get me moving. It's the perfect watch for me.
