The Apple Watch SE is the blueprint for what most people expect from a smartwatch: a clean design, deep smartphone integration, and enough wellness tracking features to stay reasonably healthy. At a reduced price compared to the brand’s flagship lineup, the SE is also accessible. However, with the launch of the Vivoactive 6, Garmin seems to be stepping up to the plate with a potential competitor.
After testing both watches side by side, it’s clear Garmin isn’t trying to beat Apple at its own game. It’s playing a different one. And for anyone serious about fitness, it might be a tempting prospect.
