Paywall only
Worthless- everything is held ransom behind paywall. Returned it and bought a Coros.

Vivoactive 6
I bought this product a few weeks ago and, in terms of its physical appearance (size, color, and material), it is exactly what I expected and I really love it. However, the battery life is shorter than I anticipated, and for that reason I feel it loses some of its overall value.

Great Features but we lost a handy feature.
My Vivoactive 4 had a great feature under golf. It had a live screen telling the distance since the last impact. So I always knew how long I drove the ball. This was also handy to help locate an errant ball since i could go the direction of the ball and use the distance to reduce the search radius. It also helped give feedback on the impact of a swing change. I can't sp...

Missing Features from Vivoactive 4S
I bought this watch to replace a Vivoactive 4S. I thought this watch would have all the features of the 4S and more. I wasn't pleased with the larger size but there is no Vivoactive 6S. In lieu of the smaller size I thought Garmin would at least have included a second bands to fit smaller wrists. They did not. My daughter's much less expensive smart watch came with a lo...

Large and Colorful
I bought the VivoActive 6 two weeks ago to replace another watch that was too small for me to read the numbers. I am really enjoying this device because I can see what time it is and how many steps I haven't walked yet. It is comfortable to wear 24/7/365.

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.

Easy to use
The 6 seems a little trickier to navigate than the 5. Over all pretty easy to use and great battery life!

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 anyon...

Great fitness watch
I personally love my watch. It's creating new habits for fitness and overall health in my life. The sleep score, body battery, and calories count is my favorite monitoring feature on the watch. I love to use it for strength training and HIIT. Those are all of my pros. The only con so far is the battery life only seems to be 7 days, then it needs a charge. I'm curious to...

Love it!
I’ve had this for about a month now and I could not be happier!! It’s easy to use, the health features are thorough and more accurate than my last watch (Apple Watch Series 6), and has a sleek design! I would recommend to anyone who is active and wants more heath insights!

Love the features
Purchase mine about 3-4 weeks ago replacing my original Venu. My favorite thing is the display - much brighter. Still getting used to it.

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 fea...

Great watch
Got this for my wife as she was tired of her Apple watch. I did a lot of research online to figure out which one would be best for her. Yeah it won’t do everything an apple watch does BUT it does do things an Apple Watch doesn’t do. Go on YouTube to hear the product breakdown from people to learn warm. She would recommend it to anyone. The watch is customizable in many ...

Sweet & Nice Vivoactive
I don’t have to be the first one to say that I’m an avid runner who has held run streaks for nearly 4 years at a time and I also run road & trail races up to the marathon distance. I also partake in yoga, lifting, and other cardio. All that to say that I can put a hurting on a watch. This is at least my fifth Garmin in 10 years. I chose the Vivoactive over the Forerunne...

Watch is great but adaptive brightness ruins it
The watch has great features and performance. Unfortunately, adaptive brightness makes it very difficult to read in low light. I’ll have to return it and find an alternative.

Great for anyone trying to get active
I am a huge promoter of the Garmin apps and abilities now. I was afraid of not being able to wear it in my sleep as I never have worn a watch to bed, but it isn't noticeable. I wanted the smallest size possible and thought this was still going to be too big with my skin wrists, but it looks and feels great. I have never been able to get in a good workout habit until now...
