Healthier Mindset

While the vivoactive 6 may be a stylish accessory, it is also a super supportive assistant that calls attention to positive health changes that I need to made habitual. Since wearing the watch, my awareness has increased as I track nutritional meals, alcohol consumption, and exercise. Having this information at the forefront each day has made a huge impact on my mindset in a short time and I am incredibly grateful.

Pleasantly pleased with the Garmin vivoactive 6

I purchased my Garmin approx three weeks ago. My Fitbit Sense died after six years of faithful service so I made this purchase after researching which watch closely resembled my previous watch. It is taking time to learn what I can do with this watch but to date I am pretty pleased with the Garmin. This past week I paired/synced it to My Fitness Pal app. The fact that I already owned a Garmin Approach G80 golf range finder is an added plus for golf and my other activities. Looking forward to learn more about my vivoactive 6.

Perfect for Fitness Tracking

I have really enjoyed my new Garmin! The features are great and it is perfect for my long runs, sleep tracking, and knowing when I need to rest and recover. I switched over from apple watch and I am glad I did. While it doesn't integrate with my phone as well as the apple watch, I feel like it is much better for tracking my activities and health. There was a little bit of a learning curve with the functionality and settings but it wasn't anything a quick search could solve! I would highly recommend this device and it being HSA eligible is even more of a bonus.

Super watch

I'm love my garmin vivoactive 6 watch!! I have been an Apple Watch user previously, and this change has been amazing. Battery health is 7-10 days for me which is a huge improvement compared to my previous watch. I like how I'm able to see all the data for my activities in the app, sleep report and body battery are my fav features!! In love with my super watch-that's how I've named her :)

Great - except

I upgraded from a vivoactive 3 music. Things were going along well. I like the spOx. I used to wear ann ORing, but it only lasted over night. This Vivoactive 6 is all day and I get other information about my sleep. My wife says I stop breathing while sleeping and I can see where my respiration slows over night. The i noticed that the watch wasn't charging. I would plug and unplug to try again. It would bring to charge. It was then I noticed that the charging cable had a loose end that then separated the top from the cable. Had it been a straight USB C connector i could have kept it charging with another cable. My Vivoactive 3 cable a different and wouldn't work with this new watch. In a world of universal connections, why does Garmin use a proprietary connector. Dumb. Overtaking I like the watch and hope I don't ruin into more cable issues.

I bought this a month ago, and it mostly is fine. I am annoyed that the sleep feature will not track if I wake up and fall back asleep to factor that into my sleep score. I often wake up at the same time every day and am able to fall back asleep, but if I am up for more than 5 minutes, the watch will not track the rest of the sleep even if it's more than an hour. This is disappointing to me.

Upgraded

I bought this a few weeks ago and I really like it so far! It's so light, durable, and easy to use! I was having trouble with my Apple Watch so I decided to switch it up and so far I really like it! I am so glad the battery lasts so long, I don't really wear it when I sleep but I do have a habit of forgetting to charge it, so it's great! The only downside is I wish I could put pictures on the watch face, but it's not THAT big of a deal. I love the watch and I feel like it's tracking is pretty accurate 😊

Lightweight and versatile!

Coming from the quite indestructible Fenix Pro Solar 6, I was torn on what to get for my lifestyle. I am quite clumsy, and the Fenix never even got a scratch. It just stopped connecting to my phone. I settled on the Vivo6, and so far, I LOVE it! I lift weights, run, yoga, paddle board, ride horses and run a farm. I have a full cover/screen protector for my vivo, and it is handling my life very well.

So glad I switched

I bought this because I was tired of charging my galaxy watch twice a day. Wasn't aware of all the extras that came with it. I love the fitness tracking but mostly, I love the little inspirational messages after my morning report. I am still learning all the functions but I woulld recommend this to anyone.

Great features

I started with a Vivosmart 4 that was gifted to me. I decided to upgrade and after researching all the different options out there, I decided to stay with Garmin and purchased the Vivoactive 6. It's user friendly and easy to customize the face. The battery lasts about 11 days, which is a major feature for me. The band it comes with is very comfortable and if you want to switch the band, it couldn't be easier.
