Garmin vívoactive® 6, Health & Fitness GPS Smartwatch, 42mm, Slate

It took me a long time to find a good new smart watch. My main issue was BATTERY. A Fitbit needs to be charged every day! And it never charged enough during my shower to last for the next day. I loved my Fitbit otherwise, but stopped using it because I refuse to have to think about charging a watch every day.Right now and after over a month of use with all my options and apps set, my Garmin can last 10 days!!! And I receive my texts and calls, morning alarms, it's connected in Bluetooth to my phone nonstop, so it vibrates a lot.BATTERY 100/10 AMAZINGThen the functions of course. I'm a geek and

After being a Fitbit loyalist for a number of years, I made the switch to Garmin after the recent hostile Google takeover of the Fitbit platform. I went with the Vivoactive 6 because I wanted to have a decent number of functions without being overcomplicated. I was kind of “meh” about it at first, but after playing with settings and finding my groove, I’m officially in love.First off, like most Garmin models, it’s advertised as having “up to” 11 days of battery life. I imagine this would only be achievable if you were using it solely as a watch and had most/all tracking settings turned off. Wh

I received this as birthday gift and I love it! It tracks my heart rate, sleep patterns, steps and how much body battery I should have based on the stress I've encountered through the day. It does so many more things but the functions mentioned are the ones I love the most. The setup of the watch is super easy and the app is easy to navigate. The battery on the device lasts 5-7 days depending on how much overnight sleep monitoring I do. The fit is so lightweight, it's durable despite smacking it against the wall a few times, has been water resistant when getting too much water on it and worth

New lover of Garmin smart watch!I have been wearing Fitbit forever in the last 8+ years. Sleep tracking was good but the connection between Fitbit and my iPhone/android phone was driving me nuts!! 50% time it won’t connect, and not receiving notifications. Looking back, I cannot believe I still stick to Fitbit after so many failures on the connections, and encountered so many frustrations. I was hesitated to switch after growing loyalty to Fitbit, but I was so glad I had the decision. The connection was perfect since I haven worn Garmin - able to track sleep, exercise, and all my smartphone no

Former fitbit user. As an ADHD sufferer with RLS fitbit did a bad job of tracking my sleep. This watch does a much better job. Additionally the HRV was underestimated (25-40ms) while giving me a 47 Vo2 max (too high). The battery life is solid after 3 months (6 days) unless you use GPS a lot (3 days).The golf GPS app is pretty cool as is an ability to listen to music without your phone. Getting music uploaded is a pain.Original band gave me a rash though. (Fitbit did too)Overall great product.

I have been using fitness trackers/smart watches from different vendors.I decided to switch because my last one was occasionally over-estimating my heart rate and sleep time.I pick Garmin because reviews are saying it is very good at tracking, even though lower end models including this one have Elevate Gen4 sensor, not gen5. And also, it has a good battery life and lightweight.This is my first Garmin.So what do I like about it:- it is extremely comfortable and lightweight indeed - both watch and braselet- tracking is very adequate except it sometimes over-estimate heart rate - see below- you

For the price point I'm a little disappointed on the heart rating when working out. It doesn't track it properly. Even when I do a light jog for 5 min my HR still shows unmoved. Other than that it functions well. The batter will last me about 5-7 days definitely not the 11 days advertised. I do use it while running 5km and I have music playing. I also use the workout function which is 4 times a week along with 2 runs a week. So, overall I'm happy with the battery life given the fact that I use it quite a bit.

I switched from an Apple Watch to Garmin. I chose the Vivoactive 6 because of the round watch face. Its data nearly matches my Whoop and the Garmin app shines over Apple Health. I took one star off because there are some constraints with sleep tracking. Fits comfortably, intuitive, bright screen, 24/7 metrics. I’d buy it again!
