Perfect balanced fitness watch
I bought this maybe 2 months ago and the watch has been great. I've used this for my pool swims at the gym. I'm able to see my steps and wear when I sleep without even noticing it.

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

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!

Great Features
I went from the VivoActive 4 to the 6. Holy cow! Great upgrade. Love the new features. The enhancements of the screen are spectacular. So vibrant. The workout part of the watch tracks more exercises accurately.

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 ...

Get the watch, You won’t be disappointed
Upgraded a month ago, have been using Vivoactive watches for past 6 years. The new amloed screen and additional information/tracking details is top notch. Super beneficial when trying to improve life from all angles. I tried an Apple Watch short time and was glad to return to my Garmin. Fit is great, screen size is universal and not over-sized for someone with a sm...

Something for everybody
Certainly more features than I will ever use. You can customize it to fit your routine. However on the negative side you can not set your date of birth which is a needed component for determining your fitness age something important for older users. You have to contact Garmin to be able to enter the info. I did contact Garmin and they were very nice and said I would be ...

Not as easy as the Apple Watch
My husband bought this for me, but I wish I’d done some research beforehand. It’s not as intuitive as my old Apple Watch and doesn’t sync with my phone as easily. The battery is much better and it’s good for swimming but every other feature isn’t as easily accessible.

Good fitness tracker
The watch is aesthetically pleasing. Super lightweight. An excellent option for some. I had just over two weeks with the watch, wearing it and training daily. After only one day I knew it wasn’t for
me. It lacks essential features for my lifestyle, no altimeter and it feels to delicate. I spent every day I had with it worried I was going to damage the bezel or glass. ...

Great watch with so many great features.
I got this as a requested Christmas gift. It works perfectly and has not disappointed me at all. Love my Garmin watch. I also have an Approach S42.

Great watch
I bought the vivoactive 6 to replace a Garmin vivosmart fitness band. It is working out great, I have just started to explore all of the features. Was a bit hesitant to get a rechargeable watch but the battery lasts a lot longer than I expected and it recharges faster than I thought it would.

I bought this about a month ago to help improve my overall health. I felt like the garmin watch was able to provide me more health data than my Apple Watch could provide! So far I been really enjoying the he health features and the gps during runs.

Love the battery life
Compared to my old Fitbit (which I loved), the battery life can't be beat. The features are perfect for someone who likes to track some health data and is a casual runner without being obsessive about numbers.

A little more than she needs, but she loves it.
My wife had another watch that she continuously had issues with charging and accurate heart rate.
She loves the accuracy and display options of the Vivoactive 6 and the fact that she doesn't need to charge it every other day.

It has excellent value for money, I miss the sound alerts, but I know that's not the point, the GPS is very accurate and the software is very fluid, I loved it...
I have it as a second smartwatch, my Venu X1 is being replaced due to problems.

Results very widely from Fitbit
Switched from Fitbit to Garmin. I feel the info provided from the garmin is less than accurate. Working out HR shows 70-80 ewhile manual HR check at same time is in the 120’s. HR in tje period after exercise shows higher than while exercising. Resting HR is consistently 5-7 beats lower than avg HR while sleeping. Not sure why this is and Fitbit did not provide this in...

Beautiful, Great Features, Failed in 2 months
Gorgeous screen with awesome features in sleep tracking, health monitoring, workouts, plus smartwatch features. My third Garmin Vivoactive series watch. The other two were rock solid. This one failed due to software issues after less than two months.
