Looking for health/fitness wearables other than oura or visible

VivoActive 6 chiming in here! Honestly, it's something I wish I got sooner. While not perfect, if it does make the very rare wonky data claim, you can fix it (like manually adjusting when you actually woke up, for example.) I use mine for tracking steps, rough calories, sleep, HR, menstrual, and HRV

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.

Looking for health/fitness wearables other than oura or visible

i have a vivoactive 6 for dysautonomia, and i’d say kind of? there may be a way to circumvent this, but the standard alert settings have it to where it tells you if your HR has stayed over a certain threshold for ten minutes with no activity. for me it’s not super helpful, because i have shorter spi

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

tried to jump ship, the grass was not greener

I made the switch from a Google Pixel 3 to a Garmin. Vivoactive 6 for two weeks and switched back. Hated Garmin's interface and just too much for a simple user like me. I personally do not hate the new Google Health and after Garmin's experience I know everything is just a guide. Some of my stats ar

Tips på träningsklockor?

Jag har en Garmin Vivoactive 6! Har inte testat den särskilt hårt ännu, men det känns som att den har alla funktioner jag kan tänkas behöva. Värt att veta kan vara att den saknar "riktig" elevation tracking, och att den inte har EKG. När jag valde klocka så vägde jag in tillverkaren ganska mycket, v

FR255 worth in 2026? Vs. VA6?

The forerunner 255 is the better choice. Has all the features you need plus more. Even if you don't get into running, it still offers more features that you are asking for than the vivoactive 6. I had a vivoactive 5 and switched to a forerunner 165. Was not disappointed. I dont care for training sta

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.

Need help finding a fitness tracker

I’ve been a Garmin user for many years and have been very happy with their products. They are high quality and last a very long time. Like someone else suggested, the Vivoactive 6 is a great all around fitness watch that isn’t crazy expensive. If you want a more premium version of it, the Venu 4 is

Device to monitor HR

I'm happy with my Garmin Vivoactive 6 (5 is cheaper, only difference is 6 wakes you up when it detects light sleep which I wanted). It records the HR well enough, and if you want it even closer recorded you can start a "workout session" (drains the battery, but I use it to track HR when I shower, ta
