GarminLily 2, Small and Stylish Smartwatch, Hidden Display, Patterned Lens, Up to 5 Days Battery Life, Coconut

As someone who reads reviews, even for the smallest of purchases, I had the WORST time finding one from someone who knew what they were getting when they bought the Lily 2. So, I'm writing this on the understanding that no one will likely ever see it, since this watch has been out for more than a year.Having been a Galaxy watch owner since the 4 came out, I upgraded to the 7 this year, simply because it's cheaper to keep upgrading than it is to buy new. While these watches work well and have a lot of features, I'd started to wonder if I even needed one anymore. I've never used the majority of the features offered and find myself only really wanting the practical ones, like notifications, "find my phone," timers, answering calls from my watch when my earbuds are in and my phone is in another room, and the actual clock. I also liked some of the health features like heart rate and fitness tracking. All the other stuff had just become noise that had overwhelmed me to the point that I wasn't even using the things I did like. In addition, I find traditional smartwatches ugly and clunky, no matter how pretty the band, because I have a slender wrist and they're all huge. So, when I received a full refund for my Galaxy Watch 7, after it malfunctioned, I decided to try something else. Enter the Lily 2.I scoured the internet for reviews on this watch, because while simpler, it's actually not cheaper than the alternatives and I was unfamiliar with Garmin. Every review I read included negatives for things like lacking GPS, not offering a lot of customization, and battery life. Many recommended larger and more complicated Garmin watches instead. The thing is, I don't WANT these features, ESPECIALLY when the trade-off is a larger watch. Yes, the Lily 2 Active has GPS and a longer battery life, but I don't go anywhere without my phone and my Galaxy Watch had to be charged nightly. GPS is not a benefit to me, nor is longer than a 5 day battery if it makes the watch only 2mm smaller than my Galaxy Watch. Other recommendations were actually even BIGGER. At 35mm, this watch is so small, it looks closer to actual watch size on my wrist. The lack of customization is what makes it so pretty. The white lights are clear, bright, and simple, in place of gaudy bright colors and photo backgrounds. When it's blank, you just see the gold swirls, instead of a dark screen. It's absolutely beautiful with the off brand leather band I bought.For what it is SUPPOSED TO BE, this watch is amazing. I'm not missing a single feature I wanted and the smaller size is such a treat after five years of clunky, ugly smartwatches. The display and wrist motion sensors are accurate, the display clear and easy to read, even on a smaller screen. The connectivity and app are great. The "find my phone" feature is LOUD, which is wonderful. The heart rate and step trackers seem pretty accurate, as someone who is by no means a fitness guru. I'd wager they're more accurate than the Galaxy, since fitness is Garmin's specialty. It has options for things I may or may not use, like menstrual tracking and hydration. If I don't, it's easy enough to remove them. I absolutely love this watch. I'll never buy another traditional smartwatch again.

I’ve been nervous about switching over from my Apple Watch but I’m so glad I did! Everyone I know has been getting a garmin and I finally jumped in the bandwagon. This cute little one is so chic and classy, I’m going to wear it from work to the gym with no issue. I was afraid that the screen would be too large but it’s a great size and nice that it’s not a flat black background. In my opinion there are way more features than my Apple Watch, and costs the same, if not less. Super comfortable and great for health tracking. My favorite features are the sleep monitoring and the BATTERY! Instead of charging every night now I can charge once a week!

Great at tracking sleep, great for fitness, charges fast, have to charge fairly often, decent price. Doesn’t do a whole lot but mainly got for fitness/sleep tracking. Not many apps on it

Still learning, but I really like this Smartwatch. I have used a simple Fitbit Alta for years, but wanted something nicer to wear out when I'm a bit dressier. I bought myself a nice regular watch and realize I couldn't see the time 😬 (I am 48) so I but the bullet and opted for a nicer smartwatch. This one is more of the size of a watch, not overly bulky. I wasn't sure I'd like getting all my message notifications from my phone, but I find I don't need to pick up my phone as much because most messages aren't that important. I will need to invest in a nicer band, but so far, even with the silicone band, it looks nice.

Garmin delivers again this time on a stylish, feminine product.Great value for the money.Love the active fitness tracker for activities where I've forgotten to hit start.My only drawback is that the display disappears (to save battery life) but makes it harder to randomly check the time and other details.

I hate this watch it does what it wants to. I've reset it went on line for help nothing

Great activity tracker and paired easily so I can get phone alerts easily. Comfortable to wear day and night, with a good battery life! Wish there was a way to set it for postpartum because i think the sleep tracking would be nice to be able to note that so it knows why it is disrupted so much. As well as for body battery with bf-ing.

I wouldn't recommend getting this watch.I purchased it on Feb. 27, received it, and set it up last Saturday, Mar. 1.I was so excited, I've heard so many things about Garmin watches and my biking community uses them all the time.However...Already, daylight savings time didn't work automatically with my watch, it will not update to the correct time even after syncing to my phone and garmin connect app.I've completed the GPS suggestions in the manual. I have one last thing left to try, but it requires a trip to Walmart to purchase an adapter to connect to my computer that didn't come with the watch. I don't even understand why at the price point Garmin couldn't include the equipment I need to work the watch correctly.Oh, BTW if you purchase this watch you'll need a desktop computer + a USB-C to USB-A adapter.I dislike the light-up screen at times. I feel it doesn't come on or lags, doesn't have a quick enough response time when I'm trying to check the time or see a message, or even if I'm tracking my workout, if my wrist gets sweaty the device will work slowly like it needs wiping with a cloth. Seems highly unreasonable as it's marketed as a fitness watch.I want to return this watch after only a handful of days.But I've never owned a smartwatch before and I like the capabilities.I am torn between keeping it and continuing to test the product or returning it.I will return this product if I cannot change the time.Before anything else, it's a watch currently displaying inaccurate time.& It can't be changed manually on the LILY2
