Great Upgrade!

I had a Vivo Active 3 for the past 5 years and upgraded when the watch began to loose full charge by the end of the day. The Vivo Active 6 has been an amazing upgrade with new features and even more accurate health stats. Everything I loved about Garmin watches is even better on the 6 and would highly recommend you update if it's been a few years. Well worth the value!

Good product/poor manual

I feel the manual was not very clear and how to use the watch most effectively, especially for training purposes regarding custom workouts and evaluation. Furthermore, the pairing with the app, although very simple and easy to do, is not very clear the most effective way to use it. I have found myself asking ChatGPT best and most effective ways to use the watch.

Love this watch

This is my 4th Garmin watch and the best one yet. It has great battery life and connects well. One of the features that I especially like is being able to set the font size at setup. I selected a large font size which makes it very easy to read. Love that it tells me Good Morning and gives me the weather. I am very happy with my purchase.

Better than the F....it

I just love my Garmin watch The vivoactive 6 is a very good reliable watch and let you know when to do intermittent exercises constantly updates with the app The only thing that I regret at that that's not let you input when you type a manual temperature other than that it's great.

No Altimeter

This is my 3rd Garmin watch. For the most part I really like it. I didn't give it 5 stars because for whatever reason they chose to remove the altimeter from the device. Its a hiking watch....I hike the mountains of Colorado...What's with that. IMO Bad Choice Garmin

Different from Vivio 4

I bought this about a month ago and there are some changes that are good and some that are not from my previous vivio active 4 model. I mostly like the battery life, this one only needs to be changed about 1-2 times a week. The way to start a walk has more button pushing and also to set an alarm is more challenging. It is nice photos can be placed as a background. There are more activities to chose from than my old vivio and this watch is much lighter. So far those are the items I have used.

Great features

I have had owned Garmin watches for over 20 years. The vivoactive 6 is the best i have experienced to date. I recently updated to this watch and use it in place of an Apple watch that I tried and did not stay with. The battery life is excellent except when in the golf app. Most of the apps I have used so far are excellent. The golf app is basic and does not have the features that a full golf watch has, but it is adequate. The exercise and health apps are an improvement over my previous watch the Vivoactive 4

Nice watch, but live event sharing defaults to off

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.

Regretting my disappointment

Purchased on line to upgrade my vivoactive 3 music and was initially disappointed. 1st issue was was low light screen auto dimming. My vision is not great without readers and could not see much in low light without first finding my glasses or a light source to brighten the display. Somehow navigating from apps to widgets and systems settings seemed less intuitive than the vivo 3 but honestly I didn't give it much of a chance. I decided that I wanted a bigger screen as well so have spent too much time sifting through watch reviews and now wish I'd kept the vivo 6. Right tech at a good price.

Best Smart Watch Brand in the market!!!

I can't believe how amazing my Garmin Vivo Active 6 has turned out to be. It led me to go out and purchase two more Garmin smartwatches, if that gives you any idea as to the love I have for Garmin and for their watches. They have transformed my workouts as I now utilize various Garmin Connect apps to sync my reps, sets, and exercise count. I recommend Garmin to anyone out there looking to improve their health and wellness because these watches will singlehandedly transform one's livelihood with a single purchase.
