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 have had this watch for 5 days & my first run with it & it freezes a mile in. Not only did I lose access to music, but I lost all tracking, too. I tried resetting it, but it wouldn't work - I was still trying to run. When I finished my run I was able to apply enough pressure for long enough to finally reset. Extremely disappointed, especially after having my 4s die on me after less than 3 years….

I've had the vivoactive 6 for about a month now and I love it. The look of it is simple and goes with most clothing! It holds a charge for about a week with regular use. The sleep tracking is fairly accurate and it has pushed me to reach my step and fitness goals. Overall, happy with my decision to buy!

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!

After 2 weeks of use I've found it to be no more useful than my iPhone for tracking activity. The sleep score is ok but not as sensitive or insightful as I had hoped . The interface takes a lot to interpret. The swimming function is useless because the watchface doest't respond when my fingers are colder. If you don't have a smart phone then this might be a useful tool

I previously owned a Venu 2 and was waiting for the Venu 4 to launch to compare with the Vivoactive 6. For sure the Venu 4 has more to tech to offer but I chose the Vivoactive 6 because 1) half the price 2) lower profile on my wrist 3) it offered all of the activities including golf, hiking, swimming etc. - perfect fit for me.

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!

I have a famous brand watch that I like, but don't like the battery life. I decided to try the Garmin Vivoactive 6, and the battery life is incredible. I never let it go dead as I will charge it when I go in the hot tub, but I have used this for three days without charging, with plenty of battery life left. As far as the watch itself, I thought that it would not be up to par with my other watch, but I actually like it a lot more. I find the readings for pulse, respirations, and Pulse Ox are much more accurate on this. I also like many of the features better. It was nice having the phone on my other watch, but there was an additional monthly charge, and I rarely used it, and some say, the Vivoactive does not have an ECG, but I can tell you from working in the ER for more than 20 years, the watches are useless for this. Best watch ever.

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

Love that it's ROUND, slim, SO light weight and that BATTERY LIFE!!❤️. I use Apple iPhone and have worn their boxy watch for years. Working 12 hour shifts but the Apple watch couldn't make a full shift in always on mode. Not a problem for my vivoactive and charges quickly! Use it for time, a step counter, heart rate during exercise, and to receive messages. As for the Sleep Quality, it's just a bells & whistle feature. My body tells me when I don't sleep well. Seeing that your rest might be less than optimal can do more detriment than help. Garmin is awesome. Started with one of their first pedometers that vibrated you hourly to get up and move, before smartwatches were even a thought. My wish list? Maybe Garmin will convince Apple to partner with them for a round Apple Watch.
