My Experience With The Vivoactive 6
I have recently gotten the Vivoactive 6 in Bone white with a silicon band and for anyone who has been incessantly bombarded by videos of Garmin watches (me 4 weeks ago) I have noted my experiences with my short time with this watch.
Positives:
- Lasted 147hrs 6min (6+1/8 days) with normal use including 6 hours of running/walking/activity
- Big fan of how it tracks sleep, stress, and heart rate, although this is my first smart watch so perhaps the novelty of it is what shines
- I enjoy reminders through the day to stay active as I mostly sit behind a desk at work
- Watch looks are easy to customize and find for free
- All the different activities the band tracks are convenient to use
- Set up is easy and fun to customize
Negatives:
- At times the watch feels awkward while sleeping, but that may be because this is the first watch I've slept with and the nylon keeps catching on my blankets
- Takes an hour to charge, although I have nothing to base this against
- Sometimes the nylon band feels itchy
Overall, I like the band and it has really helped motivate me to be more active. I think it's worth the price so long as it lasts a while, but we will see when we get there. There's a few things that you might not like, but they don't necessarily ruin the watch if you can tolerate it or find ways around it.
