Garmin's Vivoactive 6 fitness watch is $50 off on Amazon

When we reviewed the Garmin Vivoactive 6, we called it the fitness tracker most amateur athletes should buy. It’s now $249.99 on Amazon, which is $50 (17%) off its $299.99 list price.

The Vivoactive 6 sits in a sweet spot in Garmin’s lineup. It covers far more than just running, with over 80 preloaded sports and activity profiles, plus animated on-screen workouts that show you how to do each move during strength, yoga, and HIIT sessions. Built-in GPS tracks your outdoor runs and rides without a phone.

The 1.2-inch AMOLED touchscreen is bright and sharp, with Gorilla Glass 3 on top, and the watch is light enough to wear around the clock. That matters for its health features, which include Body Battery energy monitoring, Sleep Coach, nap detection, stress tracking, and Pulse Ox. A Smart Wake alarm can also wake you at a lighter point in your sleep cycle.

Battery life is rated at up to 11 days in smartwatch mode and up to 21 hours of GPS tracking, so you won’t be reaching for the charger every night. There’s 8GB of storage for offline music from Spotify, Deezer, Amazon Music, or YouTube Music, and Garmin Pay handles contactless payments when you head out without your wallet. It’s water resistant to 5 ATM, too.

The Garmin Vivoactive 6 has a 4.4 star rating from nearly 4,000 reviews on Amazon, and it would make a great gift for anyone with a fitness goal for the new year.
