Review on ๐ŸŒธ Garmin Lily: Compact Touchscreen GPS Smartwatch with Patterned Lens - Light Gold and White by Terry Wilson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It's good for what it is

I'm a woman with very small wrists. I've been using Forerunner for years with no issues other than it was huge. I almost felt like he was going to strangle me. I used it for everything: treadmill running, outdoor running, stepping, sleeping, etc. I was pretty addicted to it. I've been looking for a smaller watch for a long time, but there were practically none. When I saw the lily coming out, I had to get it. It's a MUCH smaller watch and quite trendy (which I don't really care about). The watch face is almost blank until you wake it up. This is a huge problem. You must either turn your wrist towards you or touch it twice. It rarely works. I like watches so I can get by with them easily, but that's a problem. When I first got the watch I had a few issues such as not being able to add a step to my watch and my distance being disabled. The Garmin technicians are very knowledgeable and helpful. It's a new item that takes some getting used to, but for now it's good. FYI, there is no built-in GPS. You need your phone and you can't get 5-day battery life either. You need to adjust your settings to extend battery life. You are lucky you have 3 days. You also can't download watch faces from Garmin, which sucks because I like to put my own photos in them. All in all, this is a good watch for what it is. Not the most complex of Garmins, but they get the job done, especially if you have small wrists.
