Couldn't be Happier with the Garmin Lily 2 Classic

I couldn't be happier with the Garmin Lily 2 Classic! As a former Fitbit wearer/user, my past 3 tracker watches, I am thrilled with the comfort, appearance and capability of this watch. The Lily 2 Classic has a pretty watch face with the readability of a normal timepiece only with more capabilities. It looks more like a watch and is so much more comfortable than my prior tracker watches. I highly recommend it!
Love love love this watch! I wanted something cute that I can wear all the time with different outfits and not have it look like a fitness watch and this does just that. It’s chic, simple and does all the main things I need in a fitness watch without being overly complicated. I also ordered 2 additional bands!!
I have had a Fitbit for more then 10 years and felt their quality had slipped. They weren't lasting like they use to and dying quicker then before. I've been looking at Garmin for a year and hesitated. Finally my year old Fitbit died and I had enough. Wanted something feminine and professional, the Lily 2 was perfect except one thing, the band. As beautiful as it is, I have a skinny wrist but think bones. Sounds silly but true and the band doesn't fit. I ordered a silicone band, barely fits. That alone makes me upset and I don't like wearing it. Wish you had thought of that
Everytime I have to charge this watch it looses its syncing ability. Each week I am registering this watch all over again. It is such an inconvenience. I have owned several Garmin watches and this one by far is the worst. Do not recommend.
still getting to learn all it features, has some different from my Garmin venue square more which I like, explore and learn, I was told no different face I found on I like not fancy like venue square,
This is the 4th garmin watch I’ve owned. Ive been pleased in the past, thus the repeated purchases. I am however quite disappointed in this one. The watch band started fraying after just a week and I have great difficulty starting and stopping activities. The button isn’t responsive to touch about half the time. It’s terribly annoying to not be able to start or stop an activity that’s already been started. I may be done with garmin watches after this! I would not recommend.
I wanted to get away from the tech bro look of my other smart watch, but the Lily 2 has been pretty disappointing. The Lily 2 does not have integrated GPS so if you want to track a course or mileage, you have to carry your phone AND remember to start your activity on the watch and have the phone app open. Cumbersome. The watch has a very restricted list of activities, and unbelievably indoor biking or spin is NOT ONE. Whyyyy??! (It does not integrate with Peloton, sad trombone.) There other quirks that add to my user friction, like you have to raise your arm juuuust right to activate the display, it sometimes takes a few tries especially if you are laying down. At night the watch face changes to a weird display that obscures the time and is oddly so much brighter when it doesn't need to be. On the up side, the Lily 2 does look more like a traditional 'jewelry' watch, the battery does last many days and it charges fast. I got it as a gift, but after two months of use I just feel stuck with an underperforming watch, which stinks. If I could go back, I'd get the Lily 2 Active. Garmin, all these different models is unnecessarily confusing and frustrating.
