<\/a>Garmin v\u00edvoactive 6 | Source: Garmin<\/p><\/div>\n
Garmin has created a series with the v\u00edvoactive that has never fully fit into either the sports or lifestyle segment. Rather, it attempts to meet the demands of both target groups \u2013 at least partially. Supporting an active lifestyle is, after all, already reflected in the name of the v\u00edvoactive series.<\/p>\n
Almost 1.5 years after the release of the vivoactive 5<\/a>, Garmin has introduced the next generation with the v\u00edvoactive 6. While the appearance of the v\u00edvoactive 6 has changed little compared to its predecessor, the new internal components are designed to make the watch shine.<\/p>\nGarmin v\u00edvoactive 6 – Comparison to the Predecessor<\/h2>\n

The most noticeable change is likely the redesign of the top button, which Garmin has placed on the right side of the case. Unlike the v\u00edvoactive 5, the button on the sixth-generation model is more prominent.<\/p>\n Garmin v\u00edvoactive 6 – New and Noteworthy<\/h2>\nGarmin has largely borrowed from the feature sets of newer models for the improvements in the v\u00edvoactive 6. In mid-range models, entirely new features are usually not expected. Consequently, the increase in functionality is evolutionary and primarily visible in the watch’s athletic capabilities:<\/p>\n
