vívoactive® 6, Health & Fitness GPS Smartwatch, 42mm, Slate | 24/7 Health Monitoring, Built-In Sports Apps, Sleep Coach, Body Battery™ Energy Monitoring, Daily Suggested Workouts

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 AMAZING Then the functions of course. I'm a geek and love gadgets so I had a lot of fun looking through faces and apps and shortcuts and all. It can be daunting for non-geeks. In the end I settled for a lot of the Garmin apps because they work great! I really wanted a Torchlight option, with different colors and a SOS option because I'm into surviving any situation. I got the Magic Rescue app, which I do not like very much but it lets you save 3 emergency phone numbers for you or for rescuers, in case you lose your phone. My favorite is Brighty. It has different brightness and colors and a SOS option that can run until the battery dies, exactly what I wanted. I set up a button shortcut for it so I have a Torchlight handy on my wrist. There's a lot to say about that watch. The reviews saying it takes too long to launch an activity must be technologically inept, as you just need to swipe left? Or touch the upper button? (You can change the function of these buttons like I did but from the get-go, activities are RIGHT THERE). Issues: - smart alarm is not great. I had an app on my phone 10 years ago that detected the end of my sleep cycle accurately and woke me up then. The watch has been pretty random, and also vibrates once and that's it? Not happy with that function. - bluetooth disconnects very often. It's a pain as I use my watch at work, where I cannot check my phone, so not receiving texts because of a Bluetooth issue is really annoying. It's an easy fix but still. - some Garmin apps measure your body temperature, but the watch does not have that option. It's ok, just a little bit sad about that parameter not being available on my brand new expensive watch. - I got the white bracelet and it's already dirty. It's a bit annoying, as I expect high quality. It's ok. - does not detect and start an activity automatically. My Fitbit would detect that I was walking or swimming (even though it thought I was swimming when I was folding laundry). My Garmin just does not start, even though I saw that setting, and told it to start the activity 10 minutes after it was detected. It also does not stop it either. Please make an update as I do not always remember to start the activity before I walk (I walk a lot and all day) or swim (I just forget). Maybe I'll review the options and settings again, because I really want this to happen. When you do start a hike, the watch makes a neat little map, and will help you find your way back to the starting point if you get lost (yay survival!) Cool things I didn't know I needed: - controlling my Spotify and Google maps on my watch! Seeing pictures I am sent by text, on my watch! This is so damn cool. I am not an Apple person besides the iPad so I feel fancy at a lower price. - again: When you do start a hike, the watch makes a neat little map, and will help you find your way back to the starting point if you get lost (yay survival!) I love my new watch! I hope it lasts for a couple of years.

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. When I first got it, I left Move IQ turned on—this is the setting that auto-detects activity like walks and runs when you’ve been moving for at least 10 minutes (or however long you specify). I got about 6 days of battery out of that first charge, which is what I was getting on my Fitbit, so I considered this acceptable. But I decided to experiment and try some new settings after the second charge. I disabled Move IQ, which means I now have to manually start and stop any activities when I’m doing them. I like that you can create a quick access menu of your most common activities. This really isn’t so bad—the trick is just remembering to do it 😅. Sometimes I’ll go for a walk and forget to start it. The watch still tracks the steps and reads the elevated heart rate, but it just won’t say “YES HELLO YOU WENT FOR A WALK” afterward. Which is kinda silly, but oh well. You know you did it. I got 9 days of battery life this time and still had 10% left when I charged it, so I think I’ll keep using it like this. The sleep tracking has seemed accurate so far; Fitbit used to do a good job too until the Google Health transition. Heart rate has seemed more accurate as well; there were times when Fitbit would say I was only at 80 bpm when I could check manually and tell it was at least 120. There are so many things you can customize, whether it’s the color and layout of the watch face or which metrics are displayed on the watch, in the app, or not displayed/tracked at all. I love a good aesthetic. So anyway. I’m very pleased so far. My tricks for conserving battery life are: - keep Move IQ turned off and manually track activities - disable Always On Display during activity - block notifications from any unnecessary apps (by default you’ll get ALL notifications from your phone—I set mine to only get texts, calls, Messenger, Teams, and calendar reminders) - set a Do Not Disturb timeframe overnight

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 the money.

This is an excellent watch for monitoring running and walking activities. Seems to be accurate for miles and steps. I’ve swam in the pool with it with no problems. Seems to have great water resistance. Note that you shouldn’t push the watch buttons while under water as it could temporarily break the seal. I like the rubberized band and it fits snug. I far the battery lasts about 5-6 days before needing recharging. I also like how it works with the app, especially the activity reports.

I absolutely love this device. I use it while playing pickleball to track my heart rate, calories burned, and overall activity levels. It provides accurate insights and helps me stay on top of my fitness goals. The device is comfortable to wear, easy to use, and has excellent battery life.

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.

Light weight, versatile and does the job

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!

Ya tenía un tiempo con un vivosmart 5 y me enamoré de Garmin. Adquirí este reloj como un upgrade a lo que ya tenía y de verdad superó mis espectativas, yo le doy mucho uso y me dirá muchísimo la pila, me funciona perfecto para tener en control mis entrenamientos, descansos y tener un registro constante de mi salud. De verdad lo recomiendo además es muy bonito

un regalo azzeccato con un oggetto di qualità n

Smart watch it isn't. I often have to tell it I am walking and even then it may only record part of the walk. I would definitely not recommend this product.

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

Jusqu’à présent elle est top rien à reprocher
