I upgraded to this Garmin Lily 2 Classic after using FitBits for more than 10 years. I love this tracker both for its range of features and its relatively small size. It was easy to set up, set goals and monitor your activities throughout the day. I also trust the sleep scores and body battery on this device more than the equivalent scores on the Fitbit. Well done, Garmin!
This watch is so pretty. The added design on the glass plus the finish on the watch and the leather band are the perfect combo. I like that it's not overloaded with smart features (I don't need to check my email on my watch) and looks like a normal watch at first glance, but does everything a fitness teacher should plus some smart features. Definitely happy with it so far.
I love my Lily 2 Classic. It does what I was looking for in a nice classic watch design. My goal was to track steps and distance walked, monitor Heart and Respiratory Rates, Oxygen Level and Sleep profile.I also wanted to be able to set tea timers, check my messages and alerts. I am 69 and not tech savy, but got it figured out. The nylon band needs improvement; it is too stiff and not very breathable.
I got this to replace a forerunner XT 735 that I had for many years. This is way different but I wanted something more feminine and nicer looking. I find the touch and move through the various stats a bit cumbersome to learn, but they work and overall I like the watch and it is way more professional looking.
I’ve been using this about 6 months now. It’s fine. Honestly as an iPhone user I don’t love it. I have connection issues and dont/cant use some of the functions I thought I would because of it. Pros: I love it for tracking workouts and step count. The size is great and it’s light. It’s very cute. LOVE the long battery life so I can see the sleep info. I used to have to charge my Apple Watch every night. Cons: connection issues, the original watch band I got started fraying so they let me pick a different one but the silicon makes me sweat and itchy, sometimes it’s annoying to get the screen to respond. The connection issues mean I can’t always use it for text notifications which is frustrating.
My husband encouraged me to purchase this watch and I love it! The battery lasts so long, and it looks so chic. I do wish that it had a few more features, but for the most part it handles everything I need it to.
I love all my Garmin watches. The Lily2 is TINY! More of an elegant going out watch v a daily wear, at least for my lifestyle. My daily wear is my Instinct. Not crazy about the band, it's stiff and paper like. Will see what other options are in the future.
