I enjoy my new watch coming off years of an IWatch my only issue is mustering thru YouTube, TikTok, and Reddit threads to learn features, change settings. That being said the GPS and health settings are stellar! I believe the V02 max is the closest you can come outside a drs office. As an older runner, I don't use coach settings as I don't need a device giving me advice but it will harsh you for taking long naps during the day. I do wish that one day there was a feature to log sporadic injury(ies) that would account to reduction in action for the day but, I do love this wearable

I had been happy with my Vivoactive 3 so I decided to upgrade to the Vivoactive 6. After owning the 6 for less than 2 weeks I noticed a big scratch on the watch face. I don't even know what I touched to cause it. If I knew the watch face glass was so soft, then I would have considered a different watch or at least a screen protector. The watch still works, but I am disappointed at the durability given the cost and my experience with the 3.

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!

I've had my watch for almost a month and while I enjoy some of the health and tracking features, garmin could do a better job on design and layout. For the cost, the watch is very limited in features. The screen itself does not extend to the edge of the watch like the images make it seem giving less space to navigate with your finger. It also gives a cheap appearance. The battery life has been great though.

Love the features and the fact that the battery last for days. My Apple Watch the battery has to be charged each night and wanted it to see how my sleep was and to track my steps and was unable to do that. But with my Garmin I don't have to worry about it running out of battery.

I am vision impaired and technically ignorant. If there is any web site/video/booklet that has pictures of the various screens and directions either extra large or so I could enlarge, it would be most helpful. I am 85 years old and live alone so I have been struggling for two or three weeks trying to set it up. I just want walking and water aerobics (or similar). No running, biking, skating. Is there a reference with heart, etc and how to change watch face easily?

I bought the watch for golf. When it worked it was fine. However I only got it to work one time out of 7 times. It is now locked and I am not going to research it to unlock the watch. I plan on taking it back. There are many functions besides golf that I am not interested in.

I bought this watch about a month ago and I am so very happy. Have always been an iwatch person but after reading on this product I am happy to switch over to the Garmin fam. Although it doesn't have the perks of texting or answering phone calls not disappointed I'm ok with letting that go. Battery life is amazing!

I replaced my vivoactive4 with the 6 and it is a great improvement. It is more accurate in tracking my reps during strength training. The GPS kicks in almost immediatly after acticvation where as the 4 made me wait up to several minutes before it activated. Great up grade!

I've had my Garmin vivoactive 6 for about a six weeks and love it. I ditched the Apple watch and am so enamored with the Garmin. It takes a while to refigure where everything is but it works. The Apple features bonked out - I had to charge it daily. I found a simple watch face (for my ADHD brain) and it's fantastic. Records my lifting session, walks, sleep quality, heart rate, breaths. And, it's dim at night!
