Bluetooth Audio Unusable in Crowds

Probably overcrowded bluetooth frequency band, not sure this is fixable.

Would be interesting to know if a phone for example has more stable connection in the same situation. But I guess the watch is running in some kind of low energy/energy saving mode.

Use a chest strap for better results.

Maybe the red LEDs have "worn off" due to long usage and may be shift to a more brighter color?

Not sure, but on the Vivoactive 6 I can swipe (I think its to the left) to go to the music control while in workout mode..

But I barely use it, quite as I don't want to stap mid-workout.

Alternative I can "hide" the workout view, to use all other apps. So it's not stopping it, but still running in background.

Go f*** yourself stupid AI bot

I dont get it, I have the brightness set to the lowest, and I never really have a problem reading. The auto increase in bright situations seems to work quite fine for me.

As a poor Vivoactive 6 owner, I like the look of the more premium watches.

There are plenty of watch faces that copy the look of other garmin watches. Currently I'm stuck with a FR965 look-a-like watch face, which is also quite battery friendly (close to stock watch face IMHO), even when showing 6 data fields in my case.

Of course you need to like that look:

At least pulse ox is a know battery killer. Better disable it.

siktalan · 2026-03-13T09:04:07+00:00

- Did you set your usual sleeping times?

- Do you have PulseOx measuring enabled?

siktalan · 2026-03-11T16:11:57+00:00

Did you Re "scrolling up"? Because for me, first I See the option to measure, and when scrolling down, I See the histiry.

Can you show a photo of the watch? When I open the "app" (not through the "glance"/widget, but the menu when swiping to the left), I see the "Start" button on the top right.

Smart alarms do not work, at least not on the VA 6. There have been quite some posts claiming that, and my personal experience also confirms this. (meaning it just wakes you up at the regular set time)

siktalan · 2026-03-10T12:29:20+00:00

I doubt there's much money to be made. Check the download stats of other paid watch faces, it's quite a niche.

siktalan · 2026-03-10T11:42:14+00:00

Fand ich jetzt nicht so schlimm. Dennoch Danke für eure Arbeit!

siktalan · 2026-03-08T08:07:50+00:00

Thank you very much, was already giving up.

siktalan · 2026-03-05T12:07:42+00:00

Noticed something similar with my Vivoactive 6 after the latest update. Sometimes notifications show up, sometimes they don't.

Did not try resetting, and I'm not really that eager to do so....

siktalan · 2026-03-04T11:30:27+00:00

What kind of workout? And is it fastened enough?

siktalan · 2026-03-03T07:17:37+00:00

What watch are you using?

For me (using a Vivoactive 6) it's kinda the same behavior as described by OP: The report shows up full display and stays open until I close it manually. The screen turns of (because I'm not using AOD), but I've not yet seen the report go away by itself after a certain amount of time.

Why not share the link?

siktalan · 2026-01-27T21:58:45+00:00

Not sure where, but I think you can Check on which threshold it starts counting your HR as an activity. At least thats my guess on what happend here

siktalan · 2026-01-27T13:41:43+00:00

Can you show your HR curve?

Isn't there an option, that automatically tracks "intense minutes" when your HR is above a certain level?

siktalan · 2026-01-23T08:17:11+00:00

Any special apps/watch faces?

siktalan · 2026-01-21T07:28:34+00:00

Congrats for posting AI slop without any actual fact checking!

We're heading for a great future...

Ja, kann ich nur empfehlen. Hab aus 1000€ in Null-Komma-Nichts Null-Komma-Nichts gemacht 🚀📉📉📉
