Ladies with a Garmin Lily 2/Lily 2 Active, is it worth it for walking/light exercise and daily wear?

General

I’ve been considering the Garmin Lily 2 Active and would love to hear from women who own one.

For context, I used an Apple Watch Series 6 for a few years, but eventually stopped wearing it. I found it quite bulky, distracting (bright screen, colours, constant notifications), and the battery life wasn’t great. I stopped wearing it during pregnancy a couple of years ago and never really went back to it.

What attracts me to the Lily 2 Active is that it looks much more elegant and suitable for office wear, while still offering health and fitness tracking, plus it’s got built in GPS so I could just leave my phone at home.

My activities are fairly moderate; mostly walking, occasional jogging/running, and general day-to-day activity rather than serious athletic training.

For those who own one:
Any regrets or things you wish you knew before buying?
Would also love to hear from anyone who switched from an Apple Watch to a Lily 2 Active. Thanks!
