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 m...

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.

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

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.

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...

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.

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

Great look with lots of data
I switched to the Lily2 from a multisport watch. This watch looks great, I can still get all the health and sport data I want but not look like I'm wearing a sport specific watch

Very comfortable
This watch is the perfect size and is very comfortable to wear. Not to big for my wrist. I enjoy reviewing my sleep and body battery. The features and reports are great! I have an apple watch and this is much more stylish!

Disappointed
I purchased this watch so I could tell the time and have an accurate step count. I also wanted it to look like a nice watch, not a sport watch. I use the largest clock face, but the step numbers are very tiny. If I am outside and try to adjust my position to get out of the glare to see the step count, the watch has already turned itself off. It does not register the ste...

Pretty
I bought this to replace my Forerunner that I had for 5 years. It is able to be worn with dress outfits, if probably more practical but I miss my old watch. It is very pretty and much easier to use. Good data for non runners.

Lily 2
I got this when it first came out. I liked it, but not too much. I wanted a bigger watch face, it might be my only gripe. I like how it tracks my sleep much better than my other watch. I wish it had an indoor cycling option. I like that it looks more like a watch than a fitness tracker.

Just what I needed
I bought the watch to help track my POTS symptoms, and it works perfectly. I love how well it tracks my sleep and my body battery. I also enjoy how the watch adapts to me, it notices my average daily step count and adjusts to meet my needs. I'm happy I bought it!
