abhihyd10I use Garmin Lily sports. Got it for 22k from US last year. I was looking for a non bulky small watch for thin wrists that can be comfortably worn 24*7 and it meets my expectations. No complaints. Does everything i wanted and little more.
hourGUESSI think the Vivosport women's edition, the magenta and black one, might be a good fit for you. It's much smaller than the lime green men's version. Also they can be had for under $100 these days. It has a small touch screen display and does not really look like your typical Garmin watch. It kind of looks like a Fitbit but has most of the features that more expensive watches offer. Hope that helps you on your search a little.
dogmom2010I had the first gen and sent it back as it had a lot of issues. It looks nice, but lacks in capability compared to other similarly priced watches. Would a Vivoactive 5 or 6 be an option?
alebardamuApple watch is the best smartwatch, Garmin is the best sportwatch. If your runs are under xhours, than go for the AW; if you are going to train seriously, Garmin all the way
Lazy_Maintenance8063I have used AW, Garmin, Polar and Suunto and AW is by far the worst sportwatch. After switching back to Polar after AW the quality of life improved immediately by not having to charge the thing more than once a week.
_nolensvolensGarmin is a sportwatch with some smart features. Apple Watch is the opposite. The battery of Apple Watch is a nightmare, I always forget to charge Apple Watch, i think a Watch should be a help no another task.
Direct_Vegetable1485I use a Garmin Lily and I got it 3 years ago. About 6 months ago one of the little strap loops broke so I replaced the strap. The battery still lasts 4-5 days and it's smaller than the chunky masculine watches that have more capacity. I like the Garmin app, and during the time I've had it they've updated the watch software so it now gives me a VO2 max estimate as well as all the other stuff it tracks, so I'm pleased I'm actually getting more features over time. I expect to get several more years' use out of this one, and all being well I'd likely get another Garmin after.
Humble-Lab-3950Definitely don’t get the Lily or Lily 2. The Lily 2 Active does have built in GPS so it might be okay for your needs. However, I had it for about 7 months and changed to the Venu 3s which is 100% better. The Lily series is a basic fitness watch that is not worth the price when there are other watches at the same price point that give you way more features. I also have small wrists and the slightly larger size of the Venu 3s if just fine for me and honestly not noticeable when wearing it. I’ve been using Garmin Pay on my watches over the years and it works great. (Saw someone said it doesn’t work for them, but I’ve never had an issue) If you haven’t already, you can compare watches side by side on Garmin’s website which is very helpful! But I’d recommend a watch in the Vivoactive, Forerunner or Venu series.
