Overview
Pairing by Bluetooth with an iPhone or Android phone, the Vivoactive 6 puts a round AMOLED touchscreen, built-in GPS and a long list of sports apps on the wrist. It ships in slate with a black silicone band.
Cycle and pregnancy tracking, NFC and a wide sports app list make it a broad everyday watch rather than a narrow sport tool. The battery figure is an upper bound, and water resistance is stated without a depth.
Who it's for
People who split time between workouts and daily wear, using a compatible phone. Anyone who needs multi-band satellite tracking or a stated water depth should look at other watches.
Pros and cons
- AMOLED touchscreen display
- Long list of sports apps
- NFC and Bluetooth
- Water resistance depth not stated
- GPS is the only satellite system listed
- Battery figure is an upper bound
- Listed item weight looks implausible
Performance notes
Battery figures that start with up to depend on screen use, GPS recording and notifications, so real runtime varies with settings. A single satellite system limits positioning redundancy under dense cover. Bluetooth and NFC handle the phone link and contactless features, and the touchscreen drives menus.
