That’s right, it appears that the Vivoactive 6 will look an awful lot like its popular predecessor at first glance while allowing its wearers to more thoroughly monitor their workouts and especially their runs with a few state-of-the-art technologies borrowed from costlier members of the Fenix, Enduro, and Forerunner lines.
Unfortunately, some premium sensors like an altimeter and ECG tech will probably be missing, but that’s obviously good news from an affordability perspective. The Garmin Vivoactive 6, which is apparently slightly thinner and equipped with double the storage space of the Vivoactive 5, could therefore cost $300 and see daylight… in a matter of days. Namely, at some point in April, which could mean tomorrow or four weeks from today.
In either case, we’re clearly looking at an interesting fitness-centric timepiece here that’s likely to shine with its endurance figures between charges in addition to some very powerful location monitoring tools and a display that could strike a nearly perfect balance between performance and energy efficiency.
