Great battery life… but!
All three stars are earned by the phenomenal battery life. The size and display aren’t too bad and the variety of functionality is probably more than most would ever use. But the praise sadly ends there. The strap is cheap and flimsy and as fiddly as the app needed to operate it. I ultimately sold this device on marketplace for far less than I bought it for and purchased an Apple Watch instead which I am happy with. It was an expensive mistake. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you are into mountaineering or extreme endurance sports, then it might be for you. But I wouldn’t recommend it for general use, fitness tracking and smart functionality for most people.

Quality Smart Watch
Really good watch - battery amazing - lasted 9 days on first use and a decent display - still getting used to the user interface but it’s good to have!

Garmin vivoactive 6 watch
I got this a few days ago and am extremely happy with it.
No nickname
Absolutely love this watch!
I couldn’t be happier with my Garmin. It looks great, feels incredibly comfortable on my wrist all day, and the tracking and health insights are genuinely useful. Highly recommend!

Smart watch upgrade!
Still very early to review properly but definitely an upgrade on smart watches from 4 years+ ago. This is an upgrade from then! Better battery life, HR sensor more accurate and looks pretty sleek! Still getting used to it, but everything I hoped it would be so far

Great watch!
I’ve only had the watch a couple of days but I love it already, it does everything I wanted and more.

Great activity functions
Was really easy to set up when I first got it. The activity functions are easy to use.

Manufacturing fault in model
Watch has a manufacturing issue. It blacks out and becomes unresponsive. I have tried it on multiple units as Garmin replaced the first unit for me but it had the same issue. Also, tracking is not very accurate. Eventually, I had to return it as Garmin had no solution to these issues as their team is still working on them and has not found a solution yet.
