    Fantastic watch leaps and bounds beyond anything else on the market. My wife has POTS and it's very helpful in tracking her ups and downs and reporting. The emergency mode is also a huge benefit and works perfectly; sends out a text to the contacts of choice

    Love this version of the garmin. This is my 3rd variation of the vivoactive brand over the last 10 or so years. Definitely the best so far. It's lighter, and easier to read, and has all the activities I want.
