Ut2 splits way slower than my peers with similar / same 2k times
First of all, I suppose you have measured your heart rate multiple times and for longer pieces? My vivoactive 6 is at times wildly inaccurate while erging: sometimes it jumps for a few minutes to 170 or 180 when I know I am doing about 120), and then comes back on its own to the correct values.

Morning Updates suggested improvements
i considered a Garmin vivoactive 6 because of the better morning report, but ended up going with an amazfit active 3..... it's good, but the morning report is useless

I’ve been out of the loop
My Active 3 looks exactly the same fit on my smaller wrist as yours. I really hope Amazfit releases new premium watches for small wrists. I'd like something similar to the Garmin Vivoactive 6, lightweight, small, thin, round, and with continuous heart rate monitoring.

Garmini jooksukellad
Soetasin täpselt nädal tagasi VivoActive 6, tähtis oli aku vastupidavus (eile laadisin esimest korda, aku sai kiirelt täis). Samuti treeningute jälgimine, padel, jooksmine, jalgrattasöit, jöusaal. VA6 tegi jooksuplaani, mida olen jälginud ja eks näis kas viib mu jooksutaseme körgemale ka. Und jälgib

Nickel free fitness tracker
Thought I’d update this post having bought a vivoactive 6. Happy to say that wearing it daily since Xmas (4 mths) without changing the band I have had no reaction at all.

Which Watch Buy?
I have both Vivoactive 6 and Balance 2 (XT). If you want simply track your GPS and HR and want a proper looking watch, Balance 2. If you want real recovery metrics and training plans, Vivoactive 6. Remember that it's a bit small device (only 42 mm) and looks quite cheap.

What improved your quality of life so much, you wish you did it sooner?..
Using the alarm on my garmin Vivoactive 6. It is a gentle vibration so I wake up calmly instead of blaring phone alarm.

Had enough of Cardio Load: Ordered a Garmin!
I’m super tempted to try the Garmin though. I used to hate the feel of the AW but found a band that I really like and it’s much better. I wish the VA6 had a bit of a better build. I also don’t love that it has the older HR sensor. Although I don’t put a whole lot of stock into that. Hope you have a

Help Me Narrow Down My List!
I'm a very active person looking to update my Fitbit Charge 3. While I am quite active, I do not require elite athlete training analytics or anything like that. I run around 3-6 miles at my own pace a few days/week, I cross-train, typically with HIIT classes or workouts at home, I rock climb at a gy

Activities
When I was using Vívoactive 4, and I was recording activities with it, the watch was counting estimated sweat loss during activities, and based on that, it was auto increasing water intake goal. Now I'm using Instinct Crossover (best watch ever), but I cannot see the estimated sweat loss in the acti
