Smart health assistant
The Vivoactive 6 helps you to really get to know your body. Thanks to Body Battery, you can see exactly how much energy you have at any time of day.

The advanced sleep coach helps too: you get a sleep score as well as tips to improve your sleep.

With over 80 preset sports apps, there's always something for you, from running and cycling to swimming, yoga and even activities specifically for wheelchair users.
