- Is the Vivoactive 6 good for swimming?
- Yes. It is rated 5 ATM, which covers pool and shower use, and swimming is one of its listed sports. It is not built for diving.
- Does it work with an iPhone?
- Yes. It pairs with both iPhone and Android over Bluetooth 5.3, and Wi-Fi handles syncing and updates.
- How long does the battery last?
- Garmin rates about 11 hours with GPS active. Smartwatch use between workouts lasts considerably longer, but heavy GPS users should expect to charge every few days.
- Does it have maps and music storage?
- It has 8GB of storage and multi-band GPS, but the small 1.2-inch screen is not suited to full on-watch maps. Check Garmin's spec sheet for offline music support before relying on it.
- Is it a big upgrade over the Vivoactive 5?
- The main gains are the brighter AMOLED panel and multi-band satellite positioning for more accurate routes. If you mostly track steps and sleep, the older model covers the basics.
- What is in the box?
- The watch with a silicone strap and a Garmin charging cable. It has no USB port, so keep the cable for charging.
