For four years, Garmin’s Vivoactive lineup sat dormant, leaving fans unsure about the line’s future. Then, in 2023, Garmin launched the Vivoactive 5, a powerful watch with a brand-new AMOLED display and a host of upgraded health and fitness tracking features. During my review, I was thrilled with the device’s sensor accuracy and the overall user experience. And yet, here I am, already anxiously awaiting a new generation. Though it may be early yet, I’ve rounded up everything I want to see on a potential Vivoactive 6.
