Daylight Savings Disaster
on November 1, 2026
Posted by: Deb F
Received as a gift in May. I really like the watch, however this is my first experience with Daylight savings time ending and although the watch is connected to my phone and Garmin app time does NOT automatically update. I had to remove device and then add again for time to change. Nothing else worked, NOT even connecting to GPS. Serious design flaw as we have to deal with this twice a year. PLEASE UPDATE SOFTWARE AND FIX THIS!!
I originally got this watch because I wanted similar functionality to my Apple Watch but with a longer battery life. Not only has the lily two classic delivered on this, but it has made me forget about my Apple Watch completely. It is the perfect watch for someone who wants to be more conscious of their health and track the things In their life pertaining to fitness, sleep, women's cycle, Etc. A hidden function of this watch that I wasn't even looking for was how not distracting it is . I'm still able to get notifications and use it to find my phone if I misplaced it somewhere. There are no apps on it that I can play around with and use if I put my phone down which is actually helped reduce my screen time. An amazing product.
I simply love it. Love love it. I have a small wrist, and I feel that Garmin made the watch for me, and I thank you. I love the color the band and the face. Not bulky at all.
I am not happy! I have had my Lily 2 less than 2 years and it has crashed and won’t work unless plugged in. I have tried all I can including reset and restart but it will not work. Unfortunately it was a gift and I don’t have the invoice. So disappointing!
I have thoroughly enjoyed my Lily 2 Classic! It was a bit of a learning curve after an Apple Watch, but also freeing. With the Apple Watch I was constantly getting notifications for every app that was on my phone. With the Garmin Lily 2 Classic, I still get notifications but I was able to really limit them and be 'present'. I like that I can find my iPhone still, track workouts/steps, tracking sleep is a new to me feature that I am loving! I like that the watch vibrates when I'm getting a call so I still have no excuse to miss that, but I can't answer it from my watch. Which is good- because I had a bad habit of accidentally calling people from my watch. Text messages also vibrate but not for as long- I do wish there was a way to go back read like the last 5 incoming texts; you can read through one that has just come in, but nothing else. If I don't see it right then it goes away. However I'm also of the mind that if someone really needs me, they'll call. The only other thing I'm trying to figure out is garmin pay. But overall this watch looks so much better than an Apple Watch and still ticked all the boxes I had deemed necessary. I'm glad I made the switch.
I learned about Garmin from someone who switched from Apple and wanted something easier, compatible, and fun. To be honest, I'm not the most up-to-date with tech, so I wasn't aware of Garmin products before. What made this even more special is that I switched from the Apple environment (phone) to an Android, so I struggled to get a watch compatible with my phone. I was also looking for something particular. A smartwatch that didnt quite look or feel like a smart watch? I know, best of both worlds. Except it did exist! And its my Garmin Lily 2 Classic. I customized it with a pattern, got the brown leather strap and literally in 2-3 days, on my birthday, I rocked this new watch and felt classic myself.
