Love the size

I have been wearing the Fenix series watches, the smaller ones and they are much too big on my wrist. This Lily is the perfect size and has all the features I use regularly. I like the touch screen instead of all the side buttons I had t push in the past. Battery life seems right on par to my favorite, the Fenix 5 series.

Switched from fenix 7 sapphire solar to the Lily 2 Actice. Not so heavy and gives me all the necessary daily stats. Love the sleek style! Hardly know it is on my wrist!

I bought the Garmin Lily Active watch a month ago after years of wearing a Fitbit. I was tired of having to replace my Fitbit every 12 to 18 months. I love my Garmin. It offers a variety of of features and is easy to use. I am very happy with my purchase!

Love the style, size and weight

Going from Fenix 6s to the Lily 2 Active, I love that the Lily has a smaller size and more stylish look that fits in at dinner just as well as outside the gym or off the trail. However, I very much miss being able to control music during an activity. I loved that the Fenix 6s let me control music during runs, as my phone is usually tucked away in a belt or zipper pocket. Not sure why that feature is missing from the Lily 2 active?

Very Disappointed
on December 25, 2024
Posted by: ce410. Or Carolyne
I used a Vivosmart 4 for over 4 years and I loved it.
On this device the App sleep time graph does not show an actual timeline of sleep stages. I used to know the actual time because there was a time line that actually showed the hours and minutes of each stage.
Also I don’t appreciate the sleep score telling me I had a bad night because I already know it. Very negative feedback.
Heart rate monitor is way off. On elliptical it showed 145. I never had a HR that high. Usually avg 103 after 30 min.
This device does not count floors climbed.
All those graphs that keep showing up on screen. I have no idea what they represent. Im very disappointed with this device. It is lacking what I need. I thought by getting a new device from Garmin it would be better, but it’s not. Wish I could give a better review.

A great upgrade on the original

I loved my original Lily that I have had for years. This is a fantastic upgrade. The battery life is impressive! It keeps the sleek design of the original with much more powerful capabilities.

Love the battery life

I've had my Lily active 2 for about 3 weeks and love the activity tracking features and the built-in GPS even more. I can workout without my phone in my pocket! I love it! I also live the spo2 for sleep tracking. I can't quite figure out how to view messages that came in earlier. And the timer is stuck on 0:38 and I can only change the minutes, so I need to figure that out too.

Inaccurate Indoor Walking/Treadmill Tracking
on January 14, 2025
Posted by: Cat111
My main exercise is walking on a treadmill, and the Lily 2 does not accurately track the distance you walk when you walk on a treadmill. I tried both the Indoor Walking activity and Treadmill activity and when I walk 2-3 miles, it doesn't even track it as 1 mile. The highest I have ever gotten to was .8 miles. Surprisingly, it accurately tracks up to 0.21 miles (in line with the treadmill) then the tracking slows exponentially. Everything else is fine for the most part. Though I kind of miss having the option to turn off an alarm from my watch with my old Samsung one. I've had this watch for 3 weeks now so maybe things will improve, but so far I like everything except the tracking on the indoor walking and treadmill activities.
