Start the day off right

Wake up feeling more refreshed with smart wake alarm, a new tool that looks at lighter sleep stages during a pre-selected window of time to gently wake users with a light vibration. Once awake, the morning report provides an overview of last night's sleep, recovery insights, Body Battery, daily calendar and more¹. It also includes heart rate variability (HRV) status, an early indicator of overall wellness and how prepared the body is for the day ahead. And now, users can customize the report even more with different themes, data and inspirational messages. 

Never miss a beat

Packed with key health and wellness features, vívoactive 6 can help keep users going strong all day.

• Body Battery: View energy levels throughout the day to find the best times for activity and rest. Get even more details and personal insights on how sleep, naps, daily activities and high stress impact energy levels.
• Sleep coach: Receive a sleep score and personalized coaching for how much sleep is recommended and keep track of different sleep stages, naps and other key metrics such as Pulse Ox² and HRV status.
• HRV status: Monitor heart rate variability while sleeping to better understand overall health and how the body is navigating the challenges of life and environment.
