Garmin Vivoactive 6: One minute review<\/span><\/h3>\n

The Garmin Vivoactive 6 is a great fitness watch, which is not what I expected from Garmin’s smaller, budget-friendly offering. It’s packed with features like PacePro, Garmin’s virtual walking system for runners, usually part of expensive, specialty watches like Garmin’s Forerunner series.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, the Vivoactive series is a lifestyle watch for active people. It shares a lot of DNA with Garmin’s lifestyle watch, the Venu 4, but it’s cheaper and made of less expensive materials. If the Venu 4 is like the Apple Watch, the Vivoactive 6 is like the Apple Watch SE: some compromises were made to lower the price, but it’s still a functional, comfortable watch that I enjoyed wearing.<\/p>\n
