Owners praised the vivoactive 6’s lightweight build, week‑long battery and extras like music storage, NFC payments and safety features, and they praise improvements to GPS accuracy and training tools over the vivoactive 5. Yet it was disliked for inconsistent elevation readings because there’s still no altimeter, limited third‑party apps and smart features, and for workout suggestions that don’t always make sense.
