Cheaper than last deal but green, officeworks should price best this one as it’s not prime exclusive.
Also pink available for $443

They use every excuse lol
Oh for sure, JB HiFi does the same thing tbh
It’s not in their terms that imports are excluded, and it’s the same product
@Dyl: You're right, they don't state that explicitly in their terms and conditions that imports are excluded, but every time I've tried to price beat with Officeworks, they always say that it has to be with an Australian retailer. Also they can get away with it because they do state "Identical products and services includes that they must have the same conditions of purchase, including manufacturer’s warranty and accessories"
@Ema000: I'll give it a shot, it's an Australian retailer with a US warehouse (as it's via Amazon AU) imo
Check you health insurer. As an example Bupa offer 20% off codes for some Garmin products. Was able to get one of these recently for my wife for $439.20 off Garmin AU
I’m with Bupa, might try this
Edit: only got offered 15% off, comes to a 466.65
Interesting. Was definitely 20% for me just last week off the Vivoactive 6 🤷♂️
How long you been with Bupa? From memory it ups your tier at 6-10 years
NIB has a free membership that gives you 20%. don't need to have an nib policy to join. Bit hidden on their site
I've been doing a bit of research into this watch lately. It appears to have a common battery drain issue. Ultimately, decided on the Venu 3S instead.
Does the 5 have this issue? (if you know)
I've specifically been looking at the 5 as it's known as very accurate heart rate
this one advertises up to 11 days battery life, so at least won't be as bad as a Samsung watch
Any tier Garmin is better than a Samsung watch battery wise 😂
I've had the 4 and the 5. Under the same conditions (all sensors on, a couple of gps runs), the 4 did 4 days and the 5 does 5 days between charges :)
Any clue on the 6? I was after the 5, but if 6 is worse battery wise I'd prefer the 5.
Originally was thinking $100 extra sounded okay
Edit: Vivoactive 6 had smart wake, something I really liked about my old one… Guess I have no choice lol
@Dyl: Unless there is a firmware issue with the 6, it should be identical to the 5. Same screen, battery, case and sensor. https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2025/04/garmin-vivoactive-6-deta…
Google it. Plenty of Reddit threads on the issue. Mixed response on whether it's been solved
Reviews I seen do say GPS mode drains battery, without GPS it's rated for 7 days. With GPS rated for a day.
Just FYI, Officeworks only price beat items sold exclusively by "Amazon AU"
