Ratings & Reviews for Garmin Lily 2 Classic Smart Watch with Step Counter, Heart Rate Monitor and GPS Enabled

Pass on this watch

Everytime I have to charge this watch it looses its syncing ability. Each week I am registering this watch all over again. It is such an inconvenience. I have owned several Garmin watches and this one by far is the worst. Do not recommend.

like the style

still getting to learn all it features, has some different from my Garmin venue square more which I like, explore and learn, I was told no different face I found on I like not fancy like venue square,

Disappointed

This is the 4th garmin watch I’ve owned. Ive been pleased in the past, thus the repeated purchases. I am however quite disappointed in this one. The watch band started fraying after just a week and I have great difficulty starting and stopping activities. The button isn’t responsive to touch about half the time. It’s terribly annoying to not be able to start or stop an activity that’s already been started. I may be done with garmin watches after this! I would not recommend.

Disappointing

I wanted to get away from the tech bro look of my other smart watch, but the Lily 2 has been pretty disappointing. The Lily 2 does not have integrated GPS so if you want to track a course or mileage, you have to carry your phone AND remember to start your activity on the watch and have the phone app open. Cumbersome. The watch has a very restricted list of activities, and unbelievably indoor biking or spin is NOT ONE. Whyyyy??! (It does not integrate with Peloton, sad trombone.) There other quir...

Overall I love the watch with one HUGE caveat

The Lily is a lovely, feminine watch, and for the most part I love the watch. However I have a known benign cardiac arrhythmia (PVC) that is monitored by a cardiologist. These irregularities affect the stress, body battery and sleep data. These issues really really bother me. I've worn the consistently watch for two weeks and one forum said these may even out over time but I tend to have my doubts on that. The only "solution" I've read about is to turn off the heart monitor but then I will not ...

Like the Overall Look

I enjoy the features but there's one annoying aspect that I haven't found a workaround. When I set the clock face I prefer (good old analog) the clock face changes on its own. One of the things I liked about the Lily 2 was the analog clock face. Is there a way to select a clock face that remains in place until I change it?

Amazing

I have tried so many brands I wish I would have considered Garmin first. By far the best out there!

Good data

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.

Tiny font

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.

Features

I bought this refurbished and it ran for 2 months. My first one ran for a couple of years. Makes me sad.

Attractive and easy to use.

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.

Garmin Lily 2

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.

Frustrating timepiece

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.

Love it!

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.

Overall - good purchase

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.

Decent looks, activity tracking could be better

This is a nice fitness tracker. I appreciate the accuracy and surprisingly find the additional tracking data useful. I was looking for something that wasn't overly large or that screamed fitness tracker, especially since I am wearing it all the time. I do wish that the bands were longer. Since the device cannot be worn at the wrist, using wrist sizing misses the mark. I have an average size wrist and had to buy a new band because the one that came with the device is too short to be worn comforta...

Very stylish

I have had the watch a couple of months, having trouble accessing the features, not sure what I am doing wrong. Once I figure it out, I am sure I will love it.

Getting to know much it can

I got my Lily@ 2Classic s couple weeks ago. Sorta wish a picked a different face and color, and possibly two hands, one for outside and kayalking and one for casual. I'm learning how to works and have made an adjustments or eliminations. How can one get a different frame or band for an existing purphase?

Love It!

I purchased this to replace my VivoSmart4. I love the fact that it is smaller than any watch/tracker I have seen. I love the size, convenience and programs available. My only complaint - and it isn't really a complaint is that the vibrate portion is very tinny sounding and feeling.

Stylish

I like the design of the Lily2. It isn't as bulky.
