vívoactive® 6, Health and Fitness GPS Smartwatch, AMOLED Display, Up to 11 Days of Battery, Slate with Black Band

Great product! All the features are easy to use as well as customization. I did a lot of research before purchasing to make sure this was the right fit for me and my lifestyle. Great watch all around and super light weight! I've worn it everyday and that battery lasts me about 8 days (that's incurring recoding multiple activities throughout the day) It has cool sleep tracking features that break down your sleep for you. The notifications bar is easy to manage. The color is exactly how it was described, I got a black one. The size of the screen is perfect! 10/10 would recommend

This is my first Garmin. I was a FitBit user and had four of them in 10 years. Last one was a Charge 6, which I loved, but I noticed the lifespan getting shorter with each device, and finally decided to ditch FitBit since it's become a google product. My first thought was to go to Apple Watch since I have an iPhone and other Apple devices. But after doing some research and seeing Vivoactive 6's battery life, price, and all the fitness tracking features that are important to me (as someone getting back into running in my 50s and also an avid hiker, walker, and occasional elliptical user), it seemed like a great choice. And it is! I've been wearing and using this watch 24/7 (except showering) for 3 weeks and love it. It's an awesome upgrade from the FitBit. It does all that my FitBit did and SO much more. It did take some time for me to figure out all the functions and settings, but I took my time and learned a few each day. During that process I found out how customizable this watch's screen and menus are - from color choices, to adding and removing features (you can just as easily get them back if you change your mind), to which features/menus you like to have readily accessible. You can even arrange them in the order you like best. On top of all the useful fitness stats and sensors (too many to list individually!), it shows the weather (current conditions, and forecast), has an old-school calculator (remember the calculator watches of the 80s?? me ✋🏼🤓), a nifty flashlight function with 3 levels of brightness, and my personal favorite - the compass, which doesn't need to be calibrated. It's accurate, and works independent of your phone. Very handy to have when I'm hiking. I wish it had an altimeter (available on some of Garmin's higher level smartwatches), but at this price point I do realize I can't have everything. There are many other functions with this watch - these are just the ones I find pretty useful to have, literally, on hand. For reference my wrist circumference is 6 inches. Highly recommend this watch if you want a quality and functional smartwatch where the emphasis is on fitness/health/workout tracking and stats, at a reasonable price.

If you’re thinking of making the switch to garmin from Apple this is a great watch to start with. The battery life is insane. My Apple Watch would die after 7 hrs at work. I only charge my garmin once a week. The battery drains faster the more workouts you do. But still lasts forever. It’s light weight and comfortable to sleep with. I love the variety of information that the garmin provides as well. I can see all my stats in one place and plan my future workouts with ease. The best part is I feel less bogged down with notifications when I’m trying to focus on a run. Tons of watch faces to choose from and you can even design your own if you want.

EDIT: The music app seems to have been fixed recently. After having the watch for a few months and the music app working, Im very happy. The battery is still lasting about a week per charge. ORIGINAL: I've had this watch for almost 2 months. The battery life is great, I forgot my charger on vacation and the watch lasted 7 days without changing my usage. My biggest issue is with using the music/Spotify app; it has crashed every time Ive tried to use it, which is disappointing. Being able to listen to downloaded music while exercising without having to worry about my phone was a selling point for me. I've done lots of troubleshooting and have found others having the same unresolved issue online. Otherwise I like the watch. The menus are customizable so its easy to get what you want out of it. The GPS seems very accurate and easy to use. It is overall comfortable and small enough to not be overwhelming.

This is probably a great fitness watch, but it is SO frustrating. This thing is incredibly difficult to use. It takes so much effort and digging online to figure out how to do anything. And it randomly decides when it wants to sync, and when it doesn’t. I haven’t gotten one complete workout between the watch and the app because you have to input every single step meticulously, and then it can take a dozen tries to sync it to the watch itself. I can’t edit my workout in the gym at all because it won’t update on the watch for days. Yes it looks nice, battery lasts days, but I spend more time on my watch trying to input my workout than I do actually enjoying the workout. Garmin desperately needs to add more videos/instructions and make the entire system (watch & app) more user friendly. Apple has them beat a million times over on ease of use.

We switched from Apple Watches and my husband loves this one and it has slightly most feature then a 5 which is what I have You can’t really message back on here for like regular texts but you can download a messaging app but it will show you regular messages that come in It’s fairly accurate for sleep, stress, steps, and things of that nature I would recommend buying a screen protector the screen will get minor scratches pretty easily but overall very durable

I haven't had my Garmin vivoactive 6 smart watch for very long, but the app is easy to use to set up the watch. I am still learning how to use big portions of it. I like the way it tells time, keeps track of steps, and reminds you to move when you have been sitting a while. I also love how this information is displayed on the watch face. It has so many features that I haven't explored yet. It also has a health checkup that you can do and can be saved to the app. It lists activities and you can keep track of outside walks by mapping and recording where you go. You can also set up an emergency number for you to call if you need help. I think the watch is great and I enjoy using it. The app is amazing and you can pick and chose what you want. There is also a way to share your information with others if you choose too.

PROS: 1. Light weight and large, bright screen. 2. Standard band hinges. It can use many regular watch bands. 3. Step counting seems accurate. 4. In normal use, its battery can last about 5 days in one charge. 5. Clean design. CONS: 1. High price. There are smartwatches with similar features but cheaper. 2. Plug-in charging cable, not a magnetic connector. This may decreases reliability due to the connector. 3. Limited selection of watch faces. With all that said, this smartwatch failed the reliability test. It completely died one morning after about 5 months. The saving grace for Garmin is that its customer service is very good. After I told them my vivoactive 6 stopped showing any sign of life, they quickly authorized a replacement with a new device.

I had the Vico active 3 and it just kept lasting however on trip where we hike all day the battery was insufficient so I finally broke down and got the Vico active 6. Love the upgrade, metrics are helpful, intensity minutes are way more accurate, and the battery lasts quite a long time (1 week depending on use).

Es mi primer reloj inteligente y estoy bastante satisfecho con las funciones que presenta. Quise invertir en una opción no de máximo costo pero que fuera de Garmin, porque me da confianza y tiene buena reputación para seguimiento fitness y salud, que es para el fin que lo elegí. Anteriormente compré un monitor muy top, de otra marca y quedó subutilizado. En este reloj, estoy descubriendo las funciones versátiles que tiene y me ayuda a recibir notificaciones del teléfono y para muchas actividades, como bicicleta, caminata, en fuerzan quizá necesite un monitor cardíaco, pero para lo básico y un poco más, me parece super.

Ich habe mir vor kurzem die Garmin vívoactive 6 (42mm) gekauft und nutze sie jetzt regelmäßig im Alltag und beim Sport. Insgesamt bin ich wirklich sehr zufrieden, weil sie viele Funktionen bietet und dabei angenehm unauffällig am Handgelenk sitzt. ✅ Was mir besonders gefällt Akkulaufzeit: Die Akkulaufzeit ist für eine Smartwatch wirklich beeindruckend. Bei normaler Nutzung hält sie bei mir mindestens 10 Tage, was ein riesiger Vorteil gegenüber vielen anderen Modellen ist. Viele Sportmodi: Die Uhr bietet eine große Auswahl an verschiedenen Sportarten und Trainingsmodi. Egal ob Laufen, Fitnessstudio oder Radfahren – alles ist direkt integriert. Tragekomfort: Sie ist sehr leicht, dünn und angenehm zu tragen, auch über längere Zeit oder beim Schlafen. Musikspeicher & Bluetooth: Besonders praktisch finde ich, dass man Musik direkt auf der Uhr speichern kann. Die Verbindung mit AirPods und anderen Bluetooth-Kopfhörern klappt problemlos, was perfekt für Sport ohne Handy ist. Display & Bedienung: Das Display ist sehr gut ablesbar und lässt sich einfach bedienen. Auch draußen funktioniert es zuverlässig. ❗ Kleiner Minuspunkt Leider besitzt die vívoactive 6 kein Barometer, wodurch bestimmte Funktionen wie ein richtiger Wandermodus bzw. Höhenmeter-Tracking fehlen. Für Wanderer oder Bergsportler könnte das ein Nachteil sein. 📌 Fazit Insgesamt ist die Garmin vívoactive 6 eine sehr gelungene Smartwatch mit starker Akkulaufzeit, vielen Sportfunktionen und hohem Komfort. Wer vor allem Fitness und Alltag tracken möchte, bekommt hier ein tolles Gesamtpaket – nur für intensives Wandern fehlen ein paar Outdoor-Sensoren.

Muy buen reloj

Good buy! Gives me a much better view of my health metrics for every tennis game.
