Why This Watch
The Vivoactive 6 keeps the 5's AMOLED display, 11-day battery, and Body Battery energy tracking, then adds a magnetic compass, gyroscope, PacePro guided pacing, and running power at the same $299 price point. It still skips Training Readiness and a speaker for calls, so serious runners will outgrow it, but it's a clear upgrade over the 5 for anyone shopping new.
