make the switch. i was going to buy an apple watch series 6 when i decided i wanted a smart watch again as i used to have a series 3, but after realising i wanted something that will actually track my steps, training, calories, sleep etc, i decided on a vivoactive 6. i charge my watch like once a week and the sleep tracking is super accurate ive found. i dont run, i do strength training so i cant speak for the garmin running watches but would recommend anything garmin
Just picked up this watch and it’s a great walking watch tho I bought it for a variety of activities.
Ha! Interesting, i found simple round ones like Vivoactive 6 “girly”. (I previously had Apple watch SE)
Garmin vivoactive 6. It occasionally misses a lap but if you push off the wall with force that happens pretty rarely. The battery life is fantastic—I charge once a week. Before that I had an Apple Watch, which never skipped a lap but needed almost daily charging. It also died after 2 1/3 years of 4 x weekly swimming.
I just upgraded to the vivoactive 6 from the 4th one and love the improvements. It’s my 3rd vivoactive but I’ve been using them for years. I have zero complaints.
I think all garmin watches are strava compatible I have the vivoactive 6 and it automatically uploads any activity I do
I’m a powerlifter, I have the vivoactive 6 I can’t speak for the pixel watch but I’ve had Fitbit and older gen Apple Watches. I definitely prefer my garmin
Go for it I recently got it for my sleep monitoring and is quite accurate even the rem sleep it takes quite well....
I'd get the vivoactive 6 if you don't need the ability to answer calls on the watch
I really like my Garmin watch, though the model I have (Vivoactive 6) doesn't have an altimeter. The Venu 4 has one though.
I just switched from Apple Watch to Garmin Vivoactive 6. I haven’t climbed yet, but I only charge it every 6 days! It was the most comparable to the Apple Watch, but better activity tracking.
