Garmin has introduced its Vívoactive 6, a smartwatch that features a brighter AMOLED display and a battery life of up to 11 days.
On the outside, the Vívoactive 6 looks exactly like its predecessor. The smartwatch is 0.2 millimeters thinner, and the housing is still made of glass fiber-reinforced polymer with an aluminum bezel. It also comes with a silicone watchband, suitable for wrists ranging from 125 to 190 millimeters.
The 1.2” AMOLED display has a resolution of 390 by 390 pixels and is protected by Corning’s third-generation Gorilla Glass. Garmin doesn’t mention the peak brightness of its newest smartwatch, but it does say that the screen is brighter than its predecessor.
Garmin has upgraded the smartwatch’s sleep functionality. The Smart Wake Alarm gently vibrates to wake you up at the right time during lighter sleep phases. In addition, the Vívoactive 6 features a built-in gyroscope to improve the accuracy of the pedometer.
Furthermore, the smartwatch constantly measures your heart rate, stress levels, and blood oxygen saturation. The watch also shows you many breathing and meditation exercises to help you deal with stress and anxiety. In the morning, you’ll receive a report that tells you all you need to know about your sleep, your body's recovery, and much more.
The Garmin Vívoactive 6 records all of your activities thanks to more than 80 preloaded GPS and indoor sports apps, including running, hiking, cycling, swimming, wheelchair activities, and many more.
If you connect your iPhone or Android phone to the Vívoactive 6, you receive emails, text messages, and alerts on your watch. You can even answer your messages with the on-screen keyboard and view photos that have been sent to the watch’s screen.
On top of that, you can send your live location to a specific person so that in case of an emergency, someone always knows where you are. Garmin Pay allows you to make payments with your watch. You can also store songs from your favorite streaming service on the watch.
The Garmin Vívoactive 6 has a battery life of up to 11 days. When the always-on feature is enabled, the smartwatch will last up to 5 days.
The Garmin Vívoactive 6 is available in four color options: Lunar Gold/Bone, Slate/Black, Jasper Green, and Pink Dawn. Starting April 4, you can order the smartwatch for €329.99.
