Read on for everything you better know about the new Garmin Vivoactive 6.
Priced at $299, preorders open up on April 4th viaGarmin directly.
No word yet on when units will start shipping.
Choose from four colors: Black/Slate, Bone/Lunar Gold, Pink Dawn and my favorite, Jasper Green.
It also appears to protrude further than before.
It also has more advanced GPS tracking, however, theres still no onboard altimeter for elevation tracking data.
Oddly theVivoactive 4had this bit of tech but it vanished with the 5.
There are also some new goodies for folks more keen on walking than running.
In addition to strength training suggestions, the Vivoactive 6 can also recommend walking workouts.
Garmin Vivoactive 6: Sleep
Garmin’s approach to sleep tracking is solid.
The Vivoactive 6 can even detect midday naps.
And now the brand has another nifty sleep feature.
No, it’s not one of those soon-to-be-paywalledGarmin Connect+features (thankfully).
You’ll find much in common with the Vivoactive 5.
Sure, tracking accuracy should be improved thanks to an upgraded GPS antenna and a new onboard gyroscope.
That said, rather than a boatload of physical enhancements, Garmin made some noteworthy software-based improvements.
Don’t like running?
The Vivoactive 6 now makes walking-based workout suggestions in addition to strength training ones.
Stay tuned for a full review.
