What you need to know

The Garmin Vivoactive 6 is expected to arrive soon, based on information from Gadgets & Wearables and Fitness Tracker Test.

Like the Vivoactive 5, it should have an aluminum bezel, two buttons, 1.2-inch AMOLED touchscreen, all-systems GNSS, and music storage.

It’ll allegedly sport the same Elevate v4 sensor as most last-gen Garmin watches, precluding any ECG support.

It’s expected to ship in four colors — black, white, green, and pink — and cost about $300 like its predecessor.

Anyone eagerly awaiting the Garmin Vivoactive 6 shouldn’t have to wait much longer. After a four-year gap between the 2019 Vivoactive 4 and 2023 Vivoactive 5, Garmin will leap ahead next month with a 6th-gen model that’s pretty similar to the last version, based on leaked renders and specs from retailers.

Gadgets & Wearables first posted renders of the Garmin Vivoactive 6 on Saturday, before Fitness Tracker Test followed up with detailed specs and a list of new features coming to Garmin’s popular all-arounder — as well as a prediction that it’ll arrive before the end of April.

According to both sites’ information, the Garmin Vivoactive 6 is likely to ship in one 42mm case size with a 1.2-inch AMOLED touch display, like the Vivoactive 5. Also like its predecessor, it’ll have an aluminum bezel on top of Garmin’s typical fiber-reinforced polymer case materials.

Reportedly, it’ll ship in Black, Bone, Jasper Green, and Pink Dawn, as shown in the renders above. Compared to the Slate, Cream Gold, Metallic Navy, and Metallic Orchid of last generation, the Vivoactive 6 has its own personality. You can also see a more elevated top-right button in these renders, which could make it easier to press.

According to FTT’s Florian, the Vivoactive 6 will be slightly skinnier than the Vivoactive 5 (10.9mm vs. 11.1mm) but weigh the same 26g without the strap; it also has the “same battery life,” which would mean 11 days per charge or 5 with AOD active.

What’s more disappointing is that both sites suggest that the Vivoactive 6 won’t have ECG support, meaning it has the same Elevate v4 sensor as most Garmin watches from the past few years, besides the Venu 3, Fenix 8, and other expensive models like the Enduro 3.

Garmin didn’t give the Instinct 3 new health sensors, either, which we took as a warning sign at the time. The Vivoactive 6 will likely cost much less, and perhaps Garmin sees the Elevate v5 sensor as too “premium” for this lineup; but it’s a shame, as ECG and skin temp readings would absolutely fit this “mainstream” lineup and match better against other fitness watches.

Nor (allegedly) will the Vivoactive 6 have a barometric altimeter, one of our biggest complaints with the last model. Both sites suggest the Vivoactive 6 will add a greater running focus with running power, running dynamics, and PacePro, plus two new satellite systems — BeiDou and QZSS — for better all-systems GNSS tracking. But this just makes the lack of elevation tracking more noticeable.

In happier news, the Vivoactive 6 should get workout animations, something that fits well with the lineup’s target audience of indoor athletes. Of course, this would pair well with the new Garmin Connect+ subscription that’s generating controversy, thanks to its Live Workouts.

FTT says the Vivoactive 6 will get doubled music storage to 8GB for your Spotify or YouTube Music playlists, as well as a mysterious “smart alarm” that we haven’t seen on any Garmin watches yet. In theory, this would be similar to Fitbit’s smart alarm, checking for a light sleep stage before triggering an alarm within a certain window.

Overall, this feels like a fairly iterative update for the Vivoactive watch, assuming that these leaked specs are correct. At the same time, we do like the Vivoactive 5, and the Vivoactive 6 should take its role as the entry-level Garmin watch that we recommend to anyone new to the platform, if and when it arrives in April.

According to Caroline Fam, chairman of the agency introduced by President Donald Trump, the legal campaign against the US Commodity Futures Trade Commission’s forecast market platform cannot be simply shut down.

Pham said he could bring together experts from next month’s roundtable conference and build a lawsuit over how the committee should tackle regulation and oversight of businesses betting on event contracts. She said that despite the ongoing objections to former Chairman Rostin Behnham’s enforcement stance on forecast markets in recent years (such as sporting events and bets on US political outcomes), the agency would easily reverse it. I moved too far to.

“Unfortunately, excessive delays and anti-infringement prevention policies over the past few years have severely limited the CFTC’s ability to turn to common sense regulations in the forecast market,” Pham said. Uncertainty and inappropriate constraints on the new administration. “

The Roundtable setup is “the first necessary to establish a comprehensive regulatory framework that will cultivate a thriving forecast market and protect retail customers from binary options fraud, such as deceptive and abusive marketing and sales practices. “It’s the step,” Pham said.

The CFTC lost its first court case against Karshi when a US federal judge ruled late last year that the company could not stop its company from listing election contracts. However, the agency pursued an appeal with the High Court, and claimed that in its new legal dispute, only Congress could halt election bets.

The CFTC took a stand through rules, orders and enforcement work that such political bets were not permitted under the derivatives law and that agencies do not have the ability to police operations of those markets. . Election police officer. Behnam’s agency had only remained on the chairman’s day and wanted information about Crypto Exchange Coinbase’s Polymarket customers.

In a language that contrasts with Behnam’s resistance, Pham was called the forecast market. It is called “a new frontier important in harnessing the power of the market to assess emotions to determine the possibility of bringing truth to the age of information.” She added what the agency needs to “break past hostility.”

Fam runs the agency as Trump has been appointed to name a permanent candidate and appoint him to seek confirmation from the Senate. So far, the president has simply chosen to head for his cousin regulator, the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such confirmations can take months, so she has time to achieve some policy goals at the CFTC, whether Pham is at the forefront of permanent work or not.
