It’s okay

It keeps disconnecting from my phone a lot. I’ve restarted it but it still seems to do that. The nether band is also tearing at the metal bar. It’s been not even a week.
I am not ti happy with the performance of this watch. It's very complicated...or it's not working properly...I had a garmin of a different model and it was so much easier to use Use. Unfortunately I list it so I decided to try this nice slim style...I wish I woukd have just replaced it for the same modeling had before. Not at all happy with the "lilly"
My Lily 2 Classic was a birthday gift earlier this month and I love it! The clarity of the watch face, along with the ease of toggling between each feature is wonderful. I also love the Good Morning feature - it wishes me a good day which makes me smile. Highly recommend this fitness watch!
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.
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.
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.
