VivoActive 6 chiming in here! Honestly, it's something I wish I got sooner. While not perfect, if it does make the very rare wonky data claim, you can fix it (like manually adjusting when you actually woke up, for example.) I use mine for tracking steps, rough calories, sleep, HR, menstrual, and HRV

FR255 worth in 2026? Vs. VA6?

The forerunner 255 is the better choice. Has all the features you need plus more. Even if you don't get into running, it still offers more features that you are asking for than the vivoactive 6. I had a vivoactive 5 and switched to a forerunner 165. Was not disappointed. I dont care for training sta

Recommendations

I have a vivoactive 6, it is in no way as fancy as some options but it does pretty much all the things I need. I think the biggest thing that Garmin gives over things like apple, Samsung, pixel, etc, smartwatches, is battery life. I switched from a Fitbit and the Garmin has a ton more running specif

Garmini jooksukellad

Soetasin täpselt nädal tagasi VivoActive 6, tähtis oli aku vastupidavus (eile laadisin esimest korda, aku sai kiirelt täis). Samuti treeningute jälgimine, padel, jooksmine, jalgrattasöit, jöusaal. VA6 tegi jooksuplaani, mida olen jälginud ja eks näis kas viib mu jooksutaseme körgemale ka. Und jälgib

Need help finding a fitness tracker

I’ve been a Garmin user for many years and have been very happy with their products. They are high quality and last a very long time. Like someone else suggested, the Vivoactive 6 is a great all around fitness watch that isn’t crazy expensive. If you want a more premium version of it, the Venu 4 is

I wear the Gamin Vivoactive 5 around the 1.5 and 3T. It does tug a little but after wearing it for a week I didn’t notice. Still holds its charge for about 2 weeks. I love it!! Don’t get the Vivoactive 6 tho. I thought it would be fine but I fried it the first time I put my arm in the bore.

Update: Siri STILL fails to call 911 on LTE on Apple Watch (watchOS 26.4) - No Solution from Apple

It’s very worth, it takes a minute to get used to Garmin UI, but otherwise I’ve loved everything about it, I got the vivoactive 6, lasts 11 days and takes no time to charge, I usually charge it when I shower so it’s never even come close to dying

I have the Forerunner 265, I definitely would recommend for anyone who’s active, likes less apps/distractions, and wants long battery life. I think mine is considered a mid tier option whereas the Forerunner 165 and Vivoactive 6 are more entry level.

Vívoactive 4 Essential

https://garmin.watchfacebuilder.com/watchface/6476eba4c7b59/

This is watchface made by me, looking almost like the stock digital vívoactive 4 watchface with 6 datafields. Battery is changed to a "circle around" progress bar. Date has added month, and the temperature is in Celsius with added "°C". W

Macht Spaß, Motiviert ...und man kann Kartennavigation nutzen (über APP)

Habe die Uhr nun schon einige Wochen und mich damit vertraut gemacht. Vier Sterne geben ich da sie für 5 Sterne zu teuer ist und dafür müsste sie perfekt sein ....Aber die kleinen Problemchen stören nicht und ich kann die Uhr zum Kauf empfehlen. Pulsmesser funktioniert sehr gut....konnte diesen
