New Garmin Vivosmart 6 spotted in official leaks
So, Garmin’s latest fitness tracker, the Vivosmart 6, has been seen again, this time on an official source that caught people’s eyes. The buzz started back at the end of 2025, when a quick description of the device was found on Garmin’s website in Indonesia. Then, it also popped up on the Garmin Sweden site, which kind of confirmed that Garmin was about to launch it.
What was seen in the customer survey?
A recent Garmin Connect survey gave us more clues, even if no details were fully revealed. The survey listed the Vivosmart 6 as an option asking users about what kind of activity they mainly do. As shared by Garmin Rumors, it was noted as a possible choice, but sadly, no extra info was given about the device’s features or specs in the survey.
Expected features based on earlier leaks
From earlier leaks in Indonesia, we learned that the Vivosmart 6 might come with a built-in GPS. This is really exciting because the older Vivosmart 5, which costs about $149.99 from Amazon, didn’t have its own GPS. The previous model needed to connect to a smartphone for location tracking, so this new version could be a big step up. Additionally, it’s rumored that the Vivosmart 6 would include more than 30 workout modes, making it super versatile for activities like running, walking, cycling, and swimming.
When will it be officially announced?
Garmin still hasn’t made any official statements about the Vivosmart 6. Although rumors are saying it could come out at some point in 2026, they haven’t told us exactly when it might hit the shelves. Fans will just have to stay tuned, hoping for an announcement soon.
