Convert!

For several years I owned/used a Garmin 945 Forerunner. Really like it but I'm not longer running and instead biking and doing strength workouts. I didn't know if I'd like the Vivoactive 6 as well. I don't. I like it better! Here is what I like: - Touch screen is super easy to use and intuitive. - LED screen is extremely easy to read. - Battery lasts and lasts. I was going to buy an I-watch until I saw it had to be charged daily. - The morning report is very informative. In short, I am VERY glad I purchased the Vivoactive 6! It is everything I hoped it would be, and more!

Accurate and comfortable

I was previously a Garmin owner and moved away to another brand. After several months of inaccurate tracking, it was time to go back to Garmin. The Vivoactive 6 came out and it was in my favorite color green. It was meant to be. Ive been wearing it most of the time and comparing the data between the two devices. It is definitely more accurate in tracking my steps and Im still learning how to track my workouts as the system has changed a bit in 8 years. I feel it gives me accurate data on the sleep, heart rate and other areas too.

Everything I Need

The Garmin Vívoactive 6 has all the health, fitness, and sleep tracking features I was looking for in a smartwatch. The smartwatch features, including notifications from your smartphone, are not intrusive and integrate well into the overall experience. This watch is perfect for those with an active lifestyle who are looking for great health, fitness, and sleep data along with a suite of helpful smartwatch features.

Great upgrade from my Vivoactive HR

Everything works great on this watch, with a lot of great upgrades from my old watch. The screen is big and clear and easy to read. The GPS sync is very fast! Definitely worth the purchase price. The only thing that doesn't work as well as my old one is the stair climb function. My old one was very good at sensing elevation changes, the new one doesn't measure that at all when not using the GPS.

More than worth the price.

I have had the Vivoactive 6 for 2 weeks upgrading from a FitBit Versa 2. My biggest issue is the size of the print, I thought I saw a place to make it bigger but can't relocate the place in settings. I like the battery 11 plus days compared to 2 maybe 3 on the FitBit. It was worth hassle to change exercise platforms. The only other issue I have is getting the steps to be equal in Connect and Google Fit. If you're on the fence and have a FitBit, just do it this watch has everything you're used to and more.

Difficult for the elderly to understand…

I was very happy with the level of technology this watch contains until I realized that being 77 years old I had difficulty with the learning process. After many hours watching videos and phone calls I am almost there. The 5 stars are for the younger folks who have a better understanding of technology…Hippie Bob

what i was looking for

I am a type one diabetic searching for a new watch capable of accommodating my busy lifestyle and displaying my blood sugar readings on the watch face. After extensive research into various watches, I selected the Vivoactive 6 for its comprehensive features, and I anticipate it will be a long-term companion. The watch is impressive with all its technological advancements, and the golf feature is particularly innovative.

Good features, but has some issues

So far I am satisfied with the performance of the features of my watch, but there is still a lot to be desired. The battery life doesn't last near as long as the estimate seems to display. As well as the charging port doesn't secure well to the charger so if I'm not intentional it occasionally won't charge.

Nice-ish watch

I was very excited to get this smartwatch. Four days after I started wearing it, I got a 1/4 inch scratch at the 12 o'clock mark. I'm a private duty nurse, and I barely bumped a smooth wood corner on my patient's bed. Every time I notice the scratch, it makes me sad. I've had multiple devices with Gorilla Glass, and have never had an experience like this before. Otherwise, it's a great watch so far.

Great updates!

I just got the vivoactive 6 after having the vivoactive 4 for the past few years. Wow, what a great update! Graphics are so much brighter and added insights like sleep and sleep coach is great! And the extended battery life is amazing! I had to charge my old one every night and this one can go for days without a charge!!!
