Rumors and evidence

Each entry separates what a source reports from what it establishes. Multiple articles covering one teardown count as one finding. Past forecasts remain visible.

A name in website text and a Connect survey

Garmin News reports vívosmart 6 in a Connect survey and earlier Indonesian metadata. Built-in GPS, more sport profiles and wheelchair support appear in that coverage.

These are reported pre-launch references. We did not recover a live product page or final specification sheet. The anticipated CES launch did not establish an official release.

Unverified linkMay 1 report, subsequently corrected

A04986 was reassigned to Varia RearVue 820

The publisher corrected its original vívosmart attribution: the later SIRIM entry identified A04986 as a bicycle rear radar, Varia RearVue 820.

This code must not be cited as vívosmart 6 certification evidence. The correction matters even though the original headline still names the band.

A05202 is another unidentified candidate

Garmin News reports A05202 in TDRA as a low-power short-range device and suggests vívosmart 6.

That broad classification could fit other accessories. It does not establish the retail name, GPS or a launch schedule.
