The $300 Garmin Vivoactive 6 is the fitness tracker I think most amateur athletes should buy
Fitness-focused without the frills.
After three weeks with Garmin’s newest Vivoactive 6, I’m fairly convinced it’s the fitness tracking watch most amateur athletes should buy. Not because it does everything, but because it does exactly what matters, without overcomplicating your wrist (or torching your wallet). The brand’s higher-end wearables like the Fenix and Epix lines come packed with maps, metrics, and battery stats to withstand a multi-week expedition, but unless you’re training for a back-country sabbatical, the Vivoactive 6 is lighter, more comfortable, and every bit as reliable.
A subtly updated experience
The Vivoactive 5 was a major leap over the 4, introducing an AMOLED display and new health features. The Vivoactive 6 continues that momentum with a more polished interface, expanded workout tools, and thoughtful refinements that make it an even better fit for everyday athletes.
