This is my third Garmin fitness tracker and surprisingly the quality is decreasing. Although it offers many additional features, the fitness tracking and sleep is inconsistent. My heart rate tracking stops sporadically and the only way to reset is to do a hard shutdown. I called about this and was told sometimes it needs to do updates when a watch is new. It seems like I shouldn't need to do a system shutdown daily for a Garmin to work properly.

I am overall very happy with the watch. Beautiful display a lot more activities to choose from compared to my Vivoactive 3 Music. My only complaint is that the live event sharing defaults to off. It will stay on for 24 hours, but then kicks off. Why? Other than that, all is good.

VivoActive 6, finally a Garmin that gives me more than day of operation without charging. In addition to the Vivoactive 6, I also have the Vivoactive HR, the Vivoactive 3 and the Venu Sq Music. The later 3 never gave me than a days operation on a charge. I am a 76 yr old Vietnam Vet. I have sleep issues diagnosed as REM Sleep Behavior Disorder. So Sleep tracking is important to me and Garmin has the best software I've experienced. The only physical activity I track is walking. The heart and SPO features are also great.

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 :)

I haven't been very happy with this watch so far. I haven't even had it a month and had to hard-reset it twice for it to simply register I was wearing it. It has missed entire nights of sleep, and has my heart rate ranges way off (160 BPM is in the 'green zone?') That's when the heart rate tracking works. I'm debating returning it.

This is my 4th or 5th different Vivoactive. I love them only upgrade to next model because I beat mine up. So with my new Half Dome training I wanted the new 6 to track HR and have new features. Sadly it is Not tracking HR. It will have me at 64 to 78 on leg day when Im dying. I check pulse and it will be 140 to 155. If I press watch down it works. I have played with tightness, location and cleaned. Only works well when pressed down. Maybe after all the good Ive had I got a lemon? Never had any of these issues with any of the other models. I work as a personal trainer and Im ALWAYS recommending Garmin.

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 watch about 3-4 weeks ago. It was easy to set up and use. I primarily use it to walk (tracking steps and distance) as well as cycling (paired with the 1050 Edge). It is comfortable to wear (important!) and has the right amount of "bells and whistles" to assist you on your health and wellness journey.

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.

So far I love this watch, but I do wish that you could text back and make calls with iphones. I misread the description where it says something about only available with androids. It still pops up on the watch screen so I can still read the text, but I can't respond back on the watch like I expected to. As for calling, I can answer calls but it goes to my phone speaker, not the watch itself.
