Garmin vívoactive 6, 42mm GPS smartwatch, AMOLED touchscreen sits in our wearable technology listings, where we rank by how buyers actually rate a product rather than by brand. The manufacturer says: Designed with a bright AMOLED display, get a more complete picture of your health, thanks to battery life of up to 11 days in smartwatch mode. Body Battery energy monitoring helps you understand when you’re charged up or need to rest, with even more personalised insights based on sleep, naps, stress levels. Those are the seller's own claims rather than our testing, so treat them as a starting point. On Amazon it holds 4.6 out of 5 from 3,210 ratings. What that score is worth next to its rivals is set out below.

How it compares in Wearable Technology
Across the 43 rated wearable technology products we track, the typical score is 4.4 out of 5. This one sits at 4.6, which puts it in the upper quarter of the category rather than level with it. Where almost everything is rated well, the gap at the top is small in points and large in practice. That places it second of the 43 we rank here.
It carries 3,210 ratings against a category median of 3,467. That is enough of a base to take the score seriously without treating it as settled.
On price it sits in the upper third of a category running from £3.99 to £319, where the midpoint is about £7.99. It is priced above the field and rated above it too, so the premium is at least matched by how buyers rate it.
