Stylish fitness watch!
on December 31, 2024

I love the “regular watch” look! Great features for basic fitness (walking and running are my primary).

It doesn’t connect to my iPhone well

It keeps unconnecting and it reconnects. It also doesn’t ring when my phone is. I don’t not like the phone connect.

FINALLY a pretty smart/ health watch!
on December 24, 2024
Posted by: Gina Lee
I've had the new Lily several months, and I'm loving it. I got the original Lily because it was the most attractive on the market. While I liked it, I hated that the casing had a color that made it impossible to change bands and look nice. I bought the black leather and the gray (sadly only plastic bands there) and commented on their insta that if they made one with an all gold or all silver case, I'd buy both and several watch bands! FINALLY someone there must have talked to women.
This new watch is even prettier, and is available in a camel/cognac brown leather, which is so much more flexible than lilac and other previously offered colors. I got that, black leather, and a brown nylon band. A metalic band would be a nice option, too.
Like its predecessor, it lacks the more robust fitness features of the bigger, bulkier watches, but I'm not an athlete or running marathons, only staying fit. For me, it's perfect. I can track my steps, workouts, heart rate, sleep, & caloric burn and still wear a stylish watch.
You can also have your phone, text, and calendar alerts on your watch, but I don't use any of those. I'm distractable enough.
The downsides:
- I would gladly trade the period tracker (which I have disabled) for an in--phone GPS. You have to have your phone with you to use that.
- The ability to skip forward or backward a song is disabled during workouts, when you may most want it.
- It requires occasional reset because it will suddenly not track heart rate correctly. Not by a little, but substantially. My HR was 140-150, while it showed 90. A couple times I stopped and restated the activity, but once had to do a full reset.

Great but needs longer straps
on December 23, 2024
Posted by: Peachy
I love this watch. My son bought it for me. It's delicate but classy. Smaller face than most other chunky smart watches. The only thing wrong is the strap size. I have bigger wrists and the strap is snug. Would love to have more options for longer straps for purchase. Also maybe some different strap materials like silicone or braided fabric. Replacements for the narrow 14mm straps are few and far between, especially when you need something longer for bigger wrists.

Lily2 Classic
on December 22, 2024

I was very disappointed when it arrived with a hard plastic wrist band. When I purchased it online, it was described as a fabric band. My wrist is small and this band actually hurts. So I’m looking for another band. I see online it no longer says fabric band. The watch itself is great.

Perfect Watch
on December 20, 2024
Posted by: Peter N
Does 99% of everything an apple watch does, but it looks better. It can be worn while exercising, giving you what you expect like heart rate and steps, but when you change the band, it can also go with a going-out outfit.
It's easy to use and it doesn't need much to set up. Put it on, connect it to the app, and it'll be good to go. The battery life is fantastic. It lasts forever, especially compared to the apple watch. It's great and would definitely recommend it to anyone that's still on the fence.

LOVE THE LOOK

Looks very upscale and sophisticated. Watch-face is not too large and is dark most of the time, the burgundy color is perfect for me. Charge lasts 3-4 days.

Not real happy with the Lily 2
on December 15, 2024
Posted by: Me2015
I bought it a couple of months ago. The band is fraying on the end because the loop I put it in is too small and I have to really work to get it in the loop. Another problem I have with it is the fact that the watch face goes blank and I have to hit it a couple times to see the time. That’s annoying to me. And several times when I try to see the time, for some reason the watch is showing me an activity or something else and I have to open the Connect app, go to the Lily and hit watch face to get the time. I bought this watch because I love my Forerunner 935 but wanted something a little dressier to wear. I thought getting another Garmin would be a good option as then both watches would sink my data on one app. I’m really not happy with the Lily 2.
