    Great watch. Accurately monitors body metrics and the charge is good for 7 days. Ive used it foe 4 weeks now and right out the box ot lasted 5 days before needing a charge. Connects well with other weightloss apps and the garmin app itself is user friendly and accurate. Would absolutely recommend to amyone looking to track fitness either for enrty level trwcking or hardcore fitness.

    After 3 Apple Watches I gave Garmin shot. Never looking back. This is a great watch I use it all the time for tracking my work outs, tracks my sleep and only charge it once a well. You also get all the notifications from you iPhone . Best watch I have own so far.

    I originally bought the Garmin Vivoactive 5 and it was amazing but sadly i had some complications with that watch so i traded that in and purchased the Vivoactive 6 & it’s even more amazing, the staff helped make the process smooth and effortless. 10/10
