Garmin vívoactive® 6, Health and Fitness GPS Smartwatch, AMOLED Display, Up to 11 Days of Battery, Metallic Pink Dawn with Bone Band

Garmin Vivoactive 6
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 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.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.

Love Garmin
Watch is great and has lots of features. It was easy to set up and sync with the Garmin app. The size of the watch is about the size of a silver dollar. It’s lightweight thing I don’t care for is the watchband that comes with the watch feels slippery. I love that. The watch tells me to get up and do something. I get two sidetracked and forget I need to get up and move after a certain amount of time. Battery life last a long time.

Good watch; music app crashes
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.

Great next gen Vivoactive
I have owned so many Garmin watches, I’ve lost count. This is one to replace my daughter’s Vivoactive 3. The generational change between the 3 and 6 are huge in terms of functionality, ease of use, display and added features. The screen is super bright and clear. The activity profiles include all of the things my daughter does (kayak, walk, bike, rollerblade, lifting, etc). The battery life is excellent as well. The one thing it lacks is a barometer to handle stairs climbed, but that isn’t all that necessary for my daughter in college. Is it as feature packed as my Fenix 8, absolutely not. Bit for this price point, it is an amazing value.

Die Uhr ist sehr schön. Das Armband ist etwas klobig und sitzt an meinem Arm nicht richtig, aber das ist kein Problem.Die Uhr hat viele Funktionen im Bereich Aktivitäten und Sport. Ich kann auch meine Blutzuckerwerte auf dem Display anzeigen lassen.Man kann gefühlt alles personalisieren, was ich sehr gut finde. Leider sind aber viele bereitgestellte Ziffernblätter kostenpflichtig.Durch verschiedene Apps, die man in der garmin App herunterladen kann, kann man auch z. B. Google maps, Spotify, etc. herunterladen, was die Uhr auch ideal im Alltag macht.Die Farbe des Rahmens ist rosegold, was ich sehr dezent und hübsch finde. Das Armband passt sehr gut dazu.Was ich allerdings nicht so gut finde ist das Ladegerät. Ich hatte keinen USB-C Stecker (aber das ist mein Problem). Das ladekabel muss man hinten an der Uhr anschließen und muss die Uhr beim Laden dann auf die Seite oder auf das Display legen. Ich hätte mir eine magnetische Ladelösung bei Apple gewünscht, bei der man die Uhr einfach auf die station legt. Das wäre deutlich komfortabler.Dafür hält der Akku bis zu 11 Tage, was wirklich außergewöhnlich ist. So kann ich über längere Zeit auch meinen Schlaf auswerten lassen.Ich mag auch das Feature mit der Body Battery, die mir fast jeden Tag erzählt, dass ich einen anstrengenden Tag hatte und mich ausruhen soll. Auch die regelmäßigen Erinnerungen zur Bewegung sind super und schlagen auch kurze 30 Sekunden Übungen vor.

Bought this for my husband, he loves it. Battery lasts about a week, has very cool features!We’re overall very happy with the purchase.
