Would you recommend this or the Vivoactive 5? Getting it for my girlfriend who does have a small wrist.

@AbbyBReviewing 3 ай бұрын

@averyb.476 hello, if she has a small wrist she may find the Vivoactive 5 too big, i definitely find it a bit too big on myself. Vut both are good options! And the Venu 2S is a nice option that's compact and has better performance and more features than the Lily 2 here to consider as well.

ouu , dainty accessories are my preferred style . seeing the Lily and Venu side-by-side in your review may have just made my decision

I have had Lily 2 for 11 days now and I like it a lot. I used to have Garmin Swim 2 - and I didnt like how bulky it was. So vivoactive 5 (which is cheaper than Lily 2 in my country) was not an option for me. Im not a very active person so it lasts up to six days for me. I also do not have a hard time waking it up. I bought the one with the leather band because that is the only one available in Iceland right now. However, I bought a nylon band from Garmin (because I want to take it to swimming) and got it 2 days ago and I absolutely love it. The only thing is that the non-movable watch keeper is in a place on my wrist where it irritates me a bit.

I really appreciate you reviews! You helped me narrow down my tracker picks. Thank you. I bought the Lily 2 Classic. I love it - except sleep tracking. It's been wildly inaccurate. It's recorded ever thing from 26 hours in one night (how is that even possible?) to 7 minutes another night. I've had the watch for a week - it has only got sleep mostly right once, then the next night it was back to inaccurate. I called Garmin a couple of times. They suggested letting the watch get to know me for 10 - 14 days. They had no other suggestions except returning it. I don't know if sleep tracking will get any better if my watch 'gets to know me'. Or if exchanging it for the same model could help. Other than the sleep tracking I really like the Lily 2. Does anyone else have any experience with Garmin sleep tracking getting better if the watch 'gets to know me' better?

@AbbyBReviewing 3 ай бұрын

Hello, in my experience Garmin's only weak point is the sleep tracking it is good in my experience but not great, which I mentioned in many of my reviews this one included. I did not get such varying sleep results as you did, and the sleep tracking for me did get better after wearing for a few weeks. It accurately tracked when I fall asleep and wake up, and has a good sleep score, you can see and example of my Lily 2 sleep data in this video. However, the sleep stages in particular are often off. If sleep data is important to you I'd go with a Fitbit for great sleep tracking and if activity tracking is more important I would go with Garmin for great activity tracking.

@nikkid2956 3 ай бұрын

Thanks for your reply! Good to know the sleep tracking has the potential to improve. I really like the Lily 2 and the Garmin app. I appreciate your reviews. I’ve watch a few of them more than once while trying to decide which tracker to buy. 🙂

Hi! Thank you for this video and the lily vs lily 2 comparison. I literally watched your videos over and over about Venu 3s, Vivoactive and Lily 1 and 2 for 1 week till I was convinced, Lily 2 it is! So I've pre ordered already here in PH. Im excited to try it soon! Thank you for helping me finally make a decision! 🎉❤ Btw, just curious..among all the smart watches that you have, which one do you use everyday?

Hi Abby, I love your reviews! I have one question I hope you can answer, I like to use a dumb phone from time to time just to curb my screen addiction. Will the watch save all my information until I get back to my smartphone at the end of the day, or does the phone need to always be connected to the watch in order to hold all my steps, heart rate, calories etc

@AbbyBReviewing 6 ай бұрын

Hello, and thank you! This watch does not have to be connected to your phone 24/7 and can easily save an entire days worth of data while not connected to your phone.

Hi! Great review! Would you say this is a good watch to track running and workouts?

@AbbyBReviewing 2 ай бұрын

Hello, and thank you! It can track a variety of workouts as well as runs. But it does not have built in GPS, and lacks some running metrics, so if your an avid outdoot runner may not be the best option for that.

Hello just saw your review looks great, thank you for so much detail. As it is my girlfriend birthday soon I'm considering buying her a watch. I'm a Garmin user myself. She's not so much into activities apart from walks, she cares about her health stats, was considering the Vivo 3s, but now to be honest think the new Lily2 might be a very good option as its smaller, feminine, and it seems like a great option. How would you compare the two of them? Once again, thank you x

@AbbyBReviewing 2 ай бұрын

@ruiseverino7609 Hello! I do like both watches. I do not have a comparison of the Garmin Lily 2 vs Venu 3, I do have one for the Lily 2 vs Venu 2S which may be a better option if your finding the Venu 3S too big. I've also done an individual review on the Garmin Venu 3S and Venu 2S if you're interested in checking them out to learn a bit more about them.

@fanneyfririksdottir9407 4 ай бұрын

New thoughts on the watch. I really hate the charging clip. It is difficult to get it to charge and you have to do it upside down and then check if it is working. Also, the watch is useless outside in the sun.

Hi!! Do you think the step tracker is accurate? I felt the lily 1 step tracker was horrible. Also does the lily 2 have tennis or pickleball tracking? :)

@AbbyBReviewing 7 ай бұрын

Hello! I find the step tracker to be a bit more accurate than the Lily 1 but, it can be a bit high at times especially if you talk with your hands a lot. And it does not (you could use the general cardio option to track those though), and I did show all the activities it has on it at 05:53 in the video as well :)

Yea, the Venu 3S can be a bit big if you have a small wrist. I prefer the smaller size of The Venu 2S myself. And the Lily 2 is super small in comparison. You are missing out on some features though but, if size is the most important to you, the Lily 2 may be a good fit!

Thanks for the review. But I have a question about the heartrate monitoring. I cannot figure out how to see what my heartrate is doing during an activity. Like if I select the wall activity.on the watch, the screen changes and the only meaningful metric i can see is steps. The owners manual has not helped. Do you know if this is ppssible?

@AbbyBReviewing Ай бұрын

@thestylesynonym5757 hello, i don't believe you can customize workout pages on this watch. Depending on the activity, it shows heart rate, steps and or other metrics. You can change this on Garmins more expensive watches like the Venu and Vivoactive series for example but i don't see a way for it to be changed on the Lily 2.

I am a casual smartphone user, not too tech savvy either - sigh. I'm thinking about the Garmin Vivomove basically because it appears to be the lowest price that has what I want, safety, heart monitoring and tracking. I'd like a GPS on board but that ups the price. Is this watch easy to view in daylight? I've read reviews that in sunlight people can't read the watch face at all.

Hello, I would not call it easy to read in very bright sunlight, but it is readable with the brightness increased. You can see the display indoors and outdoors at 04:23 in the video.
