Garmin Vivoactive 6 Smartwatch Lunar Gold with Bone Band

A: Hi, thanks for reaching out about Garmin vivoactive 6. The Garmin vívoactive 6 (released in 2025) does not include a native, preloaded "Curling" activity profile out of the box. However, you can still track your curling sessions quite effectively using one of the following methods: 1. Use a Third-Party App (Recommended) The most accurate way to track curling is through the Garmin Connect IQ Store. There is a highly-rated app specifically named "Curling" (developed by pmitchell) that is compatible with the vívoactive 6. What it tracks: It specifically counts brush strokes using the watch's accelerometer. Special features: It includes a stopwatch for sweepers to measure backline-to-hog split times and provides estimates for where the rock will stop. Data: It logs the activity as a "Curling" session in your Garmin Connect history rather than a generic workout. 2. Create a Custom "Curling" Profile If you don't want to download a third-party app, you can create a custom activity on the watch itself: Press the Action button (top right) and select Add+. Choose Other or Winter Sports as a template. Name the activity "Curling." Settings: I recommend turning GPS Off (since curling is indoors) and setting a data field for Heart Rate and Elapsed Time. Note: This will track your heart rate and calories, but it won't count your sweeping strokes like the specialized app will. 3. Use the "Ice Skating" Profile The vívoactive 6 comes with a preloaded Ice Skating profile. While it’s intended for skating, it uses the correct indoor environment settings (GPS off by default) and logic for ice-based movement. You can simply rename the activity to "Curling" in the Garmin Connect app after you finish.

A: Hi, thank you for reaching out about Garmin vivoactive 6. Yes, the band on the Garmin Vivoactive 6 can be changed out to a metal band, as it uses a standard 20mm wide, quick-release mechanism. Many third-party metal bands are available that are specifically compatible with this model.

A: Hi, thanks for reaching out about Garmin vivoactive 6. Yes, the Garmin vivoactive 6 can sync with the FitOn app, but it requires a two-step process involving the Garmin ecosystem. Garmin does not typically allow third-party apps to access data directly from the watch itself; the data must flow through the Garmin Connect service first. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

A: Hi, thanks for reaching out about Quikcell Tempered Glass Screen Protector for Apple iPhone 15 This Smart Watch has comprehensive heart rate tracking, but it does not include the hardware for EKG/ECG functionality. Here is some more information on the features you asked about: Track Heart Rate: YES. It uses Garmin's optical heart rate sensor (Elevate V4) to track your heart rate 24/7, including during exercise and rest. It also provides abnormal heart rate alerts (high or low) when resting. AFib Detection: NO (Not via EKG/ECG). It can alert you to abnormal heart rates, but it does not have the capability to run an on-demand Electrocardiogram (ECG) test needed for specific Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) detection. Run an EKG/ECG: NO. This watch does not have the necessary hardware (the metal sensor on the bezel or case) to record a single-lead EKG. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.
