I was really excited to get my first Garmin. I do strength training and a bit of running. I like to use the timer for clients as well as build and test workouts When I need my Garmin at important times it shuts down or the screen freezes. I tried updating it through my laptop but kept giving me the same problem. I will be returning it and looking for either another Garmin watch that is not defected or another sports watch.

I really like this watch, but I am confused on some of the readings I get after my runs, I do t know if it's about me not using it correctly or I'm not used to it, but the pace it gives me has t changed even though my time has improved, I'm still trying to figure it out

I got this three weeks ago and have walked over 100 miles with it. I've also done strength training with it- but it's better at tracking cardio. It tries to guess what strength training movement you're doing and reps but seems to be off which is fine if you have the time to go in and edit it after your workout. Wayyyyy better at tracking 6-10 mile walks/runs than my Apple Watch ever was. Apple Watch was off by 2 miles one run which is why I made the switch. SO glad I did!

So far, very good with this watch. It took me a while to find the perfect watch face for me but there are lots of choices on the ConnectIQ store. I'm at the end of day 5 on a single charge of the battery but still have 20% remaining. I've tracked hikes on each of these 5 days and still have battery left which is so much better than my Vivoactive 4. This watch is just what I needed for my outdoor activities.

Love my new vivoactive! So much more information than with the FitBit. And I connect with family on fun challenges. Only thing is my text messages are not coming through even though all the other phone notifications are. Trying to troubleshoot this. Any suggestions?

If you are on the fence to get rid of an Apple Watch or Fitbit to switch to Garmin. Do it. You will not be disappointed. I absolutely love my Garmin watch. From the health apps to working out it's great. Then it's compatible with golfing. Battery life is another great thing. Had to charge my Apple Watch everyday. Garmin I only have to recharge it once every 10 days. Sometimes even longer if I am not using the GPS mode.

Got this watch to replace a Withings. Wanted a fitness lifestyle watch, not a running watch, (I'm not a runner), this watch fits the bill perfectly. Only wish the update didn't make the face dimmer that original at night. Just a skosh brighter would be appreciated.

ive only had it a week, but the battery is still at 60% and the exercise tracking seems pretty accurate. i love that it has music storae so my phone no longer has to come with me. the band is snug and comfortable. i look forward to using more features!

The watch is not too big for smaller wrists, but is packed with many great features to play music, track activities and other things. Very stoked that you can change watch faces and keep up with all the running/biking miles and stats. Shipping was fast and the watch lives up to expectations. Would by a Garmin again for sure.

Made the swap from my apple watch to the vivoactive 6 and I do not regret it at all!! I love it so much. The details on every activity you log and the amount of info it provides is the best. I bought it mainly to keep track of my weightlifting at the gym and my runs. It also helps me to stay more motivated in hitting my steps or having a little break when I'm not moving as much. I do not ever take it off! Best purchased I've made in quite a while. Definitely recommend it if you are someone interested in health and fitness.
