    Lack of use of screen real estate

    I was a little bit more hopeful for this watch than my last one. I definitely looked forward to using it. I loved the interface and how it functions. It was very easy to set up and use. It's very intuitive. However, the things that I didn't like about it outweigh what I love about it. I found that my sleep record was wildly off. I would wake up 2 to 3 hours in the middle of the night and it did not see that as a wake time. I also found that the golf maps did not update as seamlessly as other brands. I was hoping that it would be a little bit more intuitive on that app as well. The golf part is definitely in need of work. There is no time indicated on it when you're in the golf mode and it has to be on all the time. This drains the battery significantly and while I do like a lot of the other features, it definitely needs some updates. The battery life is incredible and overall I do like this watch. I just feel like it is way more expensive than it should be for such basic features. The screen real estate is also not put to use. It looks like about a half an inch is lost on the screen real estate from the actual screen size. Why not use the entire thing?

    I switched from Fitbit to Garmin. The specs said the Garmin is Spotify capable but is a bit of a myth. You CANNOT use this watch for spotify without ear buds. This was a gift, so past the exchange window. This watch has so many functions, too many for me but im slowly learning how to delete what isnt needed. For a tech person, it might just be heaven though.

    Love it so much! I've never owned a garmin before and it's been so helpful with half marathon training--especially with tracking heart rate while running. I also love the sleep score features!

    I recently switched from an Apple Watch to my garmin and I love. The battery life top notch, all the extra health benefits amazing, over all I couldn’t recommend this watch enough. Being able to be in control of my health more has been on the front focus of my brain lately and with the peace of mind I get from my garmin has been amazing. All with the added benefits of being able to stay connected to my phone. But it has also helped me disconnect as well. Also garmin customer service is truly amazing. They are all so kind and so helpful.

    Great smartwatch replacement for brand S or A

    Great watch. Purchased to replace another popular brand of smartwatch that was only 2 years old and was saying it was out of memory even though it was as clean as the O/S would allow. It also required daily charging. Now for the Garmin watch, only requires charging once a week at around 50% left ont the battery. There are no issues with memory as this watches O/S does not bloat it as if it was a phone and not a watch. Loving the implementation of GPS and health tra king and flexibility of uses. Great availability of free or inexpensive watch faces and watch bands. Not as rugged as my Instinct 2 solar, but this has color display and has been holding up well so far. I would recommend this as a great replacement for brand S and brand A smartwatches. Much easier on memory and since it is garmin GPS is very accurate. Health tracking is great as well

    Really enjoy this watch! If you're into metrics for fitness and sleep, it is excellent! The charge also lasts me about a week which is incredibly impressive.

    What a huge upgrade from Apple Watch! I was a long time Apple Watch user, but I decided to switch to Garmin due to the accuracy, battery life and disconnection from my phone! I haven’t charged the watch in 11 days and it’s absolutely amazing!

    Great fitness watch. I had a different smartwatch before that was focused on things I’m not interested in - notifcations, calls, texts. This fitness watch allows me to dial in on health and fitness without all the other disturbances. Very easy to navigate and log the data I want to. Plus it is light as a feather allowing me to wear it without any discomfort.

    Such a fan of this watch! I admittedly don't use alllll the bells and whistles it comes with, but that is why I got the "simplest" one. The battery lasts about 1.5-2 weeks and that is with me wearing it constantly. I do wish you could customize the faces a little more but honestly that is my only complaint.

    The wifey wanted to upgrade from her Apple Watch n I brought her to look at the Garmin watches n she was sold, she loves all the training features and long battery life. She was debating between the Vivoactive 6, Lily 2 n Apple Watch n ultimately landed on the Vivoactive 6. It was going to go under the tree until Christmas but she just couldn’t wait…

    This watch is great, it's my first venture into garmin wearables and i am very impressed. I can't wait to start using the gps functions when i hike. So far, this watch is great! The sleep tracker has so much information, I'm not sure where to start!

    This watch has done everything I wanted it to do. It has enough smartwatch features but has all the fitness aspect I wanted for workouts. I’m a rower and do a wide variety of workouts so this watch is perfect. Best of all the battery doesn’t need charging everyday!

    The battery last so long!!! That is enough to join garmin. This is more of a training watch than a smart watch but i still get notifications. There’s an app specific for the watch and the information on there is so easy to read

    The Vivoactive 6 is one of the best general smart watches available today. The only thing that I'be used that's subjectively "better" is the Garmin Fenix 7. The Vivoactive 6 performs about 90% as well as the Fenix 7, and it costs about 1/5th of what the 7 costs.

    I purchased this watch for my wife and she loves it. The tracking capabilities are great. She’s checking her stats and sleep score daily. If there is one downside it’s the accessory options. There are limited bands in comparison to the Apple Watch but that’s a small price for the features.
