Garmin Lily 2 active will be the smallest that fits your bill. I have the Venu 3s which is a little smaller than the Pixel 3 but lighter, but bigger than the Lily
r/yoga • Small smartwatch to track pilates/yoga? ->I went from Fitbit to a Garmin Lily 2 Active. Battery life is great, features are great. Price tag is comparable to Fitbit
r/XXRunning • Fitness tracker recommendations? ->Garmin Lily 2 Active - the active is the only Lily with built in gps. It’s just beautiful, it wins for aesthetics and perfect on a small wrist. It won’t have all the features your Apple Watch does, but it’s worth a look.
r/XXRunning • What fitness tracking watch do you use? ->I just got one of these, too! Also, it’s nice looking.
r/XXRunning • Fitness tracker recommendations? ->I have the Garmin lily and it's a nice mix of pretty and tracking. Not amazing but I like that I look professional while keeping an eye on my body. Thinking about upgrading to the lily 2 active which is supposed to add a lot of functionality
r/POTS • Best wearable tracking device? ->It doesn't have a GPS, so it connects to your phone and if I don't take my phone I don't get accurate distances for walks. (fixed on the 2 active) The pulse ox option doesn't ever work on me. No garmin pay (fixed on the 2 active) Not that many activity options (semi fixed, but it's no longer a problem since pots means I can't do all those things as well anymore) No HR variability (fixed on 2 active) Stuff I haven't minded but they now have: better battery life, accident detection. Overall, I like the lily a lot. The lily 2 active is supposed to be better but not enough that I'm going to upgrade quite yet. Maybe I'll ask for Christmas and see what happens
r/POTS • Best wearable tracking device? ->I had an Apple watch and different types of fitbit before but now i’m using the Garmin Lily and i like it. I chose it because it’s not too big or bulky and it does look a little bit more like a classic watch. It also depends on what type of infos you want to tracks. The app is also free to use.
r/yoga • Small smartwatch to track pilates/yoga? ->I used a Garmin Lily before and while it was okay I now have a Vivoactive 5 and it's much better. It's more accurate and i can easily start the activity, create intervals, and rest periods. i was also thinking about getting the garmin swim which is more swimming focused in the end the vivoactive won because it's more of an all-rounder and for the price i prefer something i can wear all the time.
r/Swimming • Which watches would you recommend for tracking swimming? ->Garmin. I have the Lily for aesthetic reasons and it doesn't have as many features as the more industrial looking ones do, but I don't need it to do a lot. Just track my routes, my pace and heart rate, etc. Basic stuff. Anyway, I love it.
r/XXRunning • What fitness tracking watch do you use? ->I have a Garmin Lilly 2. I wanted something that looked more like a conventional watch. It tracks the basics heart rate, step, workouts. I like that I can also log my blood pressure readings in the app. Doesnt have GPS but I just use my phone for that for outdoor walks.
r/Zepbound • favorite fitness tracker? ->People have to stop comparing these. These are for two different people. I would never wear an Apple Watch based on battery life alone. I specifically got the Garmin for a wrist based gps and mapping tool to track and orient myself. You buy an Apple Watch to use smart features and be connected to your phone. Garmin has never been in that market. It’s a whole company based on gps systems for outdoor activities . You buy an Apple Watch to have Apple ecosystem. you can’t use half the feature of the fenix on an iPhone bc they only want you to use their watch… Garmin are all specifically made for their audience even down the the model . Apple watches are just to keep you plugged into your phone and have no bearing on actual outdoor activities despite calling it ultra. The Millitary has been orienteering with Garmin wrist based gps systems forever. You’d never catch an Apple Watch on patrol in Afghanistan. 😂
