Smartwatch styling and running watch features. Packed with more than the daily activity tracking and smartwatch functionality the vívoactive line is known for, this 6th generation borrows a little know-how from Garmin’s forerunner line. When out for a run, you can now follow courses, be notified of upcoming points of interest, and monitor your pace, power, and running dynamics – all without needing a foot pod. An updated GPS now has more satellites to choose from, so you get a better signal in challenging terrain. And each day you get a personalized morning report, summarizing training progress, recovery level, sleep quality, body battery, weather and more. Tucked under its sleek exterior and bright AMOLED touchscreen, the 6 is loaded with tech to help you train smarter. You can learn a new weightlifting exercise – complete with an animation of the proper form, and even find out if that afternoon nap helped your recovery. Heart rate data is tracked 24/7 via Garmin’s Elevate optical heart rate monitor. And when you connect your vívoactive 6 to your phone, a world of smartwatch functionality opens up.
