And that’s certainly evident when we compare the Vivoactive 6 to the Series 10.
For example, theGarmintracks more activities than theApple Watchand provides more advanced training and recovery tools.
You also get comparable post-run/walk route maps of your endeavors.
The Apple Watch 10 costs $100 more than the $299 Vivoactive 6.
Does that extra cash buy you any workout-tracking advantages over the Garmin?
Only the Apple Watch 10 has an onboard altimeter for precise elevation data.
The Vivoactive 6 relies solely on its GPS data.
Will this lack of comparable tech put the Vivoactive 6 at a disadvantage in this walk-test showdown?
There’s only one way to find out.
The Vivoctive 6 is Garmin’s newest smartwatch.
The Garmin adorned my left wrist and the Apple Watch sat on my right.
So, which smartwatch came out on top, the Apple Watch 10 or the Garmin Vivoactive 6?
The results and my analysis are just below.
Pace data is seemingly all over the place, but I’m here to help make sense of it.
Apple appears to only be generating average-pace data, which I don’t find as useful as moving pace.
I just wish that Apple provided both like Garmin.
The Apple Watch started at 100% while the Garmin started at 25%.
(This is because I’m currently reviewing the latter.)
(This is perhaps why ourbest smartwatch buying guideis stacked with options from both Apple and Garmin).
