MANILA, Philippines (Apr 25) – Garmin introduces its latest health and fitness smartwatch for the Philippines, the vívoactive 6, featuring a bright AMOLED display and up to 11 days of battery life. This new watch aims to help users better understand their bodies with popular health and fitness tracking tools.
Designed to be worn day and night, the vívoactive 6 offers features like Body Battery energy monitoring and a sleep coach. It comes preloaded with dozens of sports apps and includes new mobility workouts.
“No matter your fitness goals, vívoactive 6 is designed to help you understand your body better than ever before,” said Susan Lyman, Garmin Vice President of Consumer Sales and Marketing. She added that the smartwatch supports users from morning routines through workouts and evening wind down.
A new smart wake alarm feature gently vibrates to wake users during lighter sleep stages within a set window. Upon waking, the morning report provides an overview of sleep, recovery, Body Battery levels, and the day’s calendar. It also shows heart rate variability status, indicating overall wellness and readiness for the day. Users can customize this report with different themes and data.
Key health and wellness features are built into the vívoactive 6. Body Battery helps users monitor energy levels for optimal activity and rest times, providing insights into how sleep, naps, daily activities, and stress affect energy. The sleep coach offers a sleep score and personalized recommendations, tracking sleep stages and metrics like Pulse Ox and HRV status.
Stress tracking shows how moments of calm, balance, or stress impact the body. Guided meditation and mindful breathing activities are available to help reduce stress and track respiration. Pulse Ox measures blood oxygen saturation. For women, the watch tracks menstrual cycles or pregnancies and provides exercise and nutrition guidance.
For staying active, the vívoactive 6 includes over 80 preloaded sports apps, including walking, running, cycling, and pool swimming. New daily suggested walking workouts are available. Users can also download step by step workouts for strength, HIIT, yoga, Pilates, and mobility from Garmin Connect. Garmin Coach offers running and strength training plans that adapt daily based on performance and health metrics.
The watch tracks daily steps, calories burned, moderate and vigorous intensity minutes, and VO2 max. A dedicated wheelchair mode tracks daily pushes, provides weight shift alerts, and includes handcycle workouts.
Runners can monitor crucial dynamics like cadence, stride length, and ground contact time. PacePro provides grade adjusted pacing guidance during runs. After a workout, the workout benefit and recovery time tools help users understand their session’s impact and needed recovery.
Staying connected is easy with the vívoactive 6. It receives text messages, emails, and alerts when paired with a compatible iPhone or Android smartphone. Android users can reply to texts using the on watch keyboard. Safety features send a live location message to emergency contacts if the user feels unsafe or an incident is detected.
Users can download songs and playlists from apps like Spotify for phone free listening. Health and fitness data is available in the Garmin Connect app. Additional apps, watch faces, and more can be downloaded from the Connect IQ Store directly on the watch or via the smartphone app.
The vívoactive 6 features a lightweight aluminum bezel and silicone band. Color options include Black/Slate, Bone/Lunar Gold, Jasper Green, and Pink Dawn.
