I wore the Garmin vivoactive 6 for two months – it’s great, but not ideal for everyone

There was a lot I liked about the Garmin vívoactive 6 and a few areas where it fell a short of rivals - (Harry Bullmore / The Independent)

Ardent runners approach new Garmin watches like music fans await an album release. But personally, I don’t think the vívoactive 6 is made for ardent runners. It’s a svelte and versatile smartwatch designed for pretty much everyone else.

As someone whose varied weekly exercise regime often takes them from the gym to the padel court to the top of a mountain, I found there was a lot to like about this gadget. The watch’s broad data points and insights allowed me to keep tabs on my sporting performance, sleep and general wellbeing, all at a price that’s more affordable than most premium rivals.
