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.
I bought the Lily 2 Cassic mainly for the watch/pedometer feature, without the smart watch component. Although this watch is capable of a smart watch, we can turn that feature on or off. There are not many watches out there that are a good quality. I personally designed my Lily 2 Classic to my specifications, which was a total bonus for me! I have small wrists, so the watch face itself is not overly big. The extra data that the watch collects, like goals, and health history, is also a feature that I didn't realize I would use. This watch is easy to use in my opinion. I would definitely recommend this watch for those looking to enhance their daily journey!
I bought the Lily 2 Classic a month ago and overall I am happy with the purchase. The watch is easy to read in indoor light, but I have to increase the “brightness” on the display when I am outside in bright sunlight. I purchased the face with the “ivy design”. While it looks pretty, there are times when the design embedded on the face makes it more difficult to read (especially when outside in bright sun).
It’s a beautiful watch. It just doesn’t have the same features as my Apple watxh. I need a bigger face also. I thought I would prefer the smaller face on it. I actually returned it.
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.
