Overall I love the watch with one HUGE caveat

The Lily is a lovely, feminine watch, and for the most part I love the watch. However I have a known benign cardiac arrhythmia (PVC) that is monitored by a cardiologist. These irregularities affect the stress, body battery and sleep data. These issues really really bother me. I've worn the consistently watch for two weeks and one forum said these may even out over time but I tend to have my doubts on that. The only "solution" I've read about is to turn off the heart monitor but then I will not have that data during exercise. It seems the issue of cardiac arrhythmias should have been considered when designing the watch features.
I enjoy the features but there's one annoying aspect that I haven't found a workaround. When I set the clock face I prefer (good old analog) the clock face changes on its own. One of the things I liked about the Lily 2 was the analog clock face. Is there a way to select a clock face that remains in place until I change it?
I love the look of this model but it tends to flip faces on its own. I prefer a specific clock face but the Lily 2 has decided what clock face I'll see. The clock face I want is a valid selection, but Lily evidently knows better.
I selected this watch for the size of the face, assuming the font size would be larger. Although Garmin provides different face themes to select, none of them offer a larger font size for your step count. If you are farsighted and buying this watch looking for larger font you will be disappointed.
I have worn a Garmin forerunner for years and it was a great watch. I received the Lilly2 forerunner for years Christmas. It is a little smaller than the forerunner, so it is more comfortable under my sleeves. The face is very attractive and it doesn’t look like a fitness watch. It works well tracking my activities and movement. It’s easy to use and is compatible with my phone. I’ve been more active this January and it’s encouraging to see my progress.
I love the look, but I is hard to see because of the background design when I am in bright light. It changes the screen too much, when I just want to see the time.
