Garmin Lily® 2, Small & Stylish Smartwatch, 35mm, 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 have had it for a week now. I charged it on day 6 and honestly could have waited until tomorrow, but I will be away from home when it needs to charge. I love how small and pretty it is. It keeps my step count much more accurately than any of the 10 or so fitbits I have owned over the last 15 years. The app is better than fitbit and I like the standard features you get without having to upgrade to a premium app experience. While the fitbit app was pretty good, Google fitness is terrible. For those reasons, I love my new Garmin Lily 2.

This is absolutely exactly what I was looking for - so much better even than the pictures! It is not nearly as bulky or large as it looks in the pictures in the reviews, it is delicate yet plenty big to see and operate everything. I am so impressed with the texture and quality materials this watch is made from, and the classic coloration, wow. I have the off-white one. I couldn't be happier with the ease of the app, the info on the watch face, the aesthetic, the ability to customize the watch and app exactly like I want, and the lightweightness of this incredible work of art. I have tried fitbit, xiaomi, and some other and this is soooooo much better than everything else. I haven't had it for more than a few hours so I will see how the metrics are, but so far it seems to operate more like the fitbit, which metric-wise I liked. (The fitbit's update to the google health app turned me off and I just didn't like it anymore.) If you're looking for something that is comfortable, light, easy to read and work, THIS is it!!!

This is a great watch for women. It’s small with a watch face that’s actually designed for smaller wrists. The problem is that there is ONE button on the whole watch. This makes navigating the controls difficult and everything takes so many steps. It was hard to get into the workout screens and save my workout. If you are a runner, and you really want a “training watch” get the next model or two up, like the Forerunner 165. If you just want a watch that counts steps and can interact with the Garmin fitness app, this will work fine. If you are used to an Apple Watch and convert to Garmin, there is a learning curve. They are not as user friendly, but have great GPS capability for much cheaper than Apple. Ultimately, I went with a Garmin designed for athletes.

Returned this after trying it out for almost a month. I really wanted to love this because it looked so cute! My issues were that the sleep tracking was incredibly inconsistent, you have to set your sleep and wake times and then it will track sleep based off of that. If you work night shift like me you never go to sleep and wake up at the same time so it would just not track my sleep at all and sometimes would say I was asleep when I wasn’t. The battery life was horrible, I was lucky if it lasted 3 days but it was usually 2 when it’s advertised as ~5 days. The fitness tracking was also horrible, if you don’t have cell service you can’t start an activity so good luck tracking your hike if you don’t start with cell service. Also when you do start your hike it will start a timer once it finally catches on that you’re doing an activity and then the only thing you can see on the watch face is the timer, not the actual time. So on your multiple hour hike you’ll have to end the activity to be able to see what time it is or pull out your phone. There were also several times I would look down during the middle of the day and my watch would just be in sleep mode??? Also the button on the bottom malfunctioned quite a bit and just nothing would happen when I pressed it, this probably happened once or twice a day. I reached out to Garmin support about all these issues and they were no help. Thankfully I realized I hated this product while I was still within my return window so I could get my money back. I’d save your money for something better.

I wanted a small, elegant smart watch to look good on my small hand and tiny wrist. My previous one was cheap and the smallest i found, but still looked bulky on my wrist which made me not wear it in the end. I wasn't familiar with Garmin, but somehow i found it on the net and fell in love with the look of Lily 2. Read so many reviews, many mention unresponsiveness and issues with the app, but i really liked it and decided to give it a try, although it's an expensive watch. I also had issues for the first 2-3 days - with responsiveness of the touch screen, the app, the connection to UHC rewards program, the sleep schedule, etc. But i liked the watch so much and it fit perfectly and looked beautiful on my wrist, that i decided to give it a few more days. Surprise, surprise! I played with the settings, the app, etc. and i got it, it works perfectly, it's being a month now. People, all you need to do is learn your watch, don't give up on it! It does everything it says it does, everything i wanted from a smart watch and it is absolutely beautiful, elegant and stylish!! The app gives me a very good "view" of my sleep, all features work great when you need to connect it to your phone (notifications, weather, etc.). The connection with UHC Rewards program is flawless, it is a fantastic watch! Bought a bunch of different colors silicon bands to fit my outfits and it's like i have a new watch every day. Love the fact the screen is not always lit up, love the customization on the look of the screen, love the size of it, the watch faces are elegant and classy, love everything about this watch and hope to use it for a long time. After a month of use i can firmly say it is worth the money!

I just got it, so this is probably a seriously premature review, but I’ve been so excited about getting this I really just can’t wait to tell others about it. I have been an Apple Watch user for several years. All significant devices I own are Apple-watch, cell, laptop, tablet. I love being able to connect them all together and being able to use them interconnected. However, I’ve just been kind of tired of using the Apple Watch the last year or so and haven’t been wearing it as much as I used to. It’s bulky, uncomfortable, and it just doesn’t track as much health data as I’d like without having to use my phone. I know that this Garmin watch is going to be less connected in a sense that it’s not part of the Apple iOS, of course. But what drew me to making the switch is the difference in tracking capabilities as far as health concerns are related. I have a lot of health issues and I’m hoping this watch will help me keep a better eye on things. I like that it just automatically tracks sleep, steps, stress, pulse ox, body battery, etc. I know that Apple Watches track some of these things as well, but not all of them. I like that this watch has a lot of features without being overwhelming-which is something I found myself struggling with recently on my Apple Watch. Don’t get me wrong, it was nice having so many options, but it was just too much for me. I wanted something a little more simplified without feeling like I was losing a lot. Another thing that drew me in was the shape of the watch head. The square of the Apple Watch was just uncomfortable for me from the get. I like that this is much more watch like in shape and size, and it’s so much more comfortable already. I have serious sensory issues, touch being one of my biggest issues. The Apple Watch, no matter what band I had on it, always seemed to bother me to no end. While I can feel this one on my wrist and it still bothers me to an extent, it’s still more comfortable and manageable than my old watch. This in and of itself is a huge upgrade. I bought several band options to use for different occasions and such, but haven’t tried them yet, so I don’t know if they’ll be helpful in my quest to not be so overloaded in my senses when wearing this watch. I wear a little medical bracelet for POTS and I really thought it would be annoying to wear both on my wrist, but so far it’s actually made wearing the bacelet more comfortable because it isn’t sliding up and down my wrist as much. They also look nice together because of the colors. I wear all gold jewelry so I knew this watch was the best option because it’ll look nice with whatever I’m wearing. The battery life is another thing that really spoke to me as well. I think many Apple Watch users can agree that Apple Watch batteries, no matter how much you try, will not always keep a battery past a day or two, sometimes three. This is supposed to last twice that. It may not seem like much because some watches last even longer, but for me that s a nice improvement. Oh, and set up? Holy cow. So quick. I barely had time to register in my brain that I was pairing a new watch before I got the notification it was paired. The set up only took a few minutes-preferences, watch face, etc. It was such a smooth and simple process between the watch and the app. Based on first impressions I’m happy with my decision to order this watch and I look forward to seeing how well it’ll serve its purpose.

I got this Garmin watch because I’m a small person so I have very petite wrists, and I had already tried 3 other smart watches that were not name-brands. I love how small and comfortable it is, and it looked so cute on me. But more often than not, the watch face doesn’t respond when you touch to wake the screen. It’s incredibly disappointing for how expensive it is. I got this Garmin Lily watch because I did NOT want an Apple Watch… but I ended up having to get an Apple Watch anyways…

Very bad its less than 1 month . The watch is not working . Not accuret heart rate measurements . Suddenly stop sending notifications

It does what it needs to do; I bought it because I want a watch that shows the time and my daily steps so this is the perfect choice for me. The battery lasts for days (I usually charge it once a week). Phone notifications go through but you can’t reply directly on the watch but it’s not a problem for me. The UI is also very simple so it’s a no brainer to use it. It has a pretty wide range of exercise activities that it can record (never used it though heheh :p). Overall, it’s a good watch for those looking for a simple, chic smart watch for daily use and perhaps those who’s more exercise oriented :D

Dochter is er super tevreden mee. Lange batterijduur, klein en elegant ontwerp, past perfect om een smalle pols

Super Fitness Uhr mit toller Farbe. Meine Frau ist total begeistert und verwendet nur mehr diese Uhr.

Simple et fonctionnelle parfaite pour qui ne veux pas un ordinateur au poigné. Montre connectée qui a l'essentiel et qui est esthétiquement très sympa.
