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.
I can't see the time without tapping the watch face. I want to see the time when I just look at the watch face. The watch does not respond to wrist twisting, lifting, etc.
I upgraded from a Lily a couple months ago so I was familiar with the bulk of features. I like being able to use Garmin Pay which wasn't available on the earlier version. The look is fantastic and fits my small wrist well.
I previously only had apple watches and made the switch to a Lily 2. It visually looks very good and battery life lasts much longer compared to apple. This band has not caused any irritation and I like the stats it gives for sleeping and other daily functions. can be a little hard to navigate swiping between screens but overall looks sleek and does just what I need.
