4 Introduction
Widgets
Your watch comes preloaded with widgets that provide at-a-glance information. You can swipe the touchscreen
to scroll through the widgets. Some widgets require a paired phone.
NOTE: You can use the Garmin Connect app to add or remove widgets.
Time and date
The current time and date. The time and date are set automatically when the watch syncs
with your Garmin Connect account.
Body Battery
Your current Body Battery
energy level. The watch calculates your current energy reserves
based on sleep, stress, and activity data. A higher number indicates a higher energy reserve.
Calendar Upcoming appointments from your phone calendar.
Calories The amount of total calories burned for the day, including both active and resting calories.
Distance The distance traveled in kilometers or miles for the day.
Health Stats
A dynamic summary of your current health statistics. The measurements include heart rate,
stress, and Body Battery level.
Heart Rate Your current heart rate in beats per minute (bpm) and seven-day average resting heart rate.
Hydration The total amount of water consumed and your goal for the day.
Intensity Minutes Your intensity minutes total and goal for the week.
Last Activity Displays a brief summary of your last recorded activity.
Music Controls Controls for the music player on your phone.
My Day
A dynamic summary of your activity today. The metrics include steps, intensity minutes, and
calories burned.
Notifications
Notifications from your phone, including calls, texts, social network updates, and more,
based on your phone notification settings.
Pulse Ox Allows you to take a manual pulse oximeter reading.
Respiration
Your current respiration rate in breaths per minute and seven-day average. The watch
measures your breathing rate while you are inactive to detect any unusual breathing activity,
as well as how it changes in relation to stress.
Sleep Your sleep data for the previous night, including total sleep time.
Steps
The total number of steps taken and your goal for the day. The watch learns and proposes a
new step goal for you each day.
Stress
Your current stress level. The watch measures your heart rate variability while you are
inactive to estimate your stress level. A lower number indicates a lower stress level.
Weather The current temperature and weather forecast from a paired phone.
Women's Health
Status of your current monthly menstrual cycle. You can view and log your daily symptoms.
You can also track your pregnancy with weekly updates and health information.
Widgets 5
Step Goal
Your watch creates a daily step goal automatically, based on your previous activity levels. As you move during
the day, the watch records your progress toward your daily goal . Your watch begins with a default goal of
7,500 steps per day.
If you choose not to use the auto goal feature, you can disable it and set a personalized step goal on your
Garmin Connect account (Activity Tracking Settings, page28).
Move Bar
Sitting for prolonged periods of time can trigger undesirable metabolic state changes. The move bar reminds
you to keep moving. After one hour of inactivity, the move bar appears. Additional segments appear after
every 15 minutes of inactivity.
You can reset the move bar by walking a short distance, or you can customize the movement alerts
(Customizing Move Alerts, page25).
Intensity Minutes
To improve your health, organizations such as the World Health Organization recommend at least 150 minutes
per week of moderate intensity activity, such as brisk walking, or 75 minutes per week of vigorous intensity
activity, such as running.
The watch monitors your activity intensity and tracks your time spent participating in moderate to vigorous
intensity activities (heart rate data is required to quantify vigorous intensity). The watch adds the amount of
moderate activity minutes with the amount of vigorous activity minutes. Your total vigorous intensity minutes
are doubled when added.
6 Widgets
Earning Intensity Minutes
Your Lily 2 watch calculates intensity minutes by comparing your heart rate data to your average resting heart
rate. If heart rate is turned off, the watch calculates moderate intensity minutes by analyzing your steps per
minute.
Start a timed activity for the most accurate calculation of intensity minutes.
Wear your watch all day and night for the most accurate resting heart rate.
Improving Calorie Accuracy
The watch displays an estimate of your total calories burned for the current day. You can improve the accuracy
of this estimate by walking briskly or running outside for 15 minutes.
1 Swipe to view the calories widget.
2 Select .
NOTE: appears when calories need to be calibrated. This calibration process only needs to be completed
one time. If you have already recorded a timed walk or run, may not appear.
3 Follow the on-screen instructions.
Health Stats Widget
The Health Stats widget provides an at-a-glance view of your health data. This is a dynamic summary that
updates throughout the day. The metrics include your heart rate, stress level, and Body Battery level.
NOTE: You can select each metric to view additional information.
Body Battery
Your watch analyzes your heart rate variability, stress level, sleep quality, and activity data to determine your
overall Body Battery level. Like a gas gauge on a car, it indicates your amount of available reserve energy. The
Body Battery level range is from 5 to 100, where 5 to 25 is very low reserve energy, 26 to 50 is low reserve
energy, 51 to 75 is medium reserve energy, and 76 to 100 is high reserve energy.
You can sync your watch with your Garmin Connect account to view your most up-to-date Body Battery level,
long-term trends, and additional details (Tips for Improved Body Battery Data, page33).

The Body Battery widget displays your current Body Battery level.
1 Swipe to view the Body Battery widget.
2 Tap the touchscreen to view the Body Battery graph.
The graph displays your recent Body Battery activity, and high and low levels for the last eight hours.
Heart Rate Variability and Stress Level
Your watch analyzes your heart rate variability while you are inactive to determine your overall stress. Training,
physical activity, sleep, nutrition, and general life stress all impact your stress level. The stress level range is
from 0 to 100, where 0 to 25 is a resting state, 26 to 50 is low stress, 51 to 75 is medium stress, and 76 to 100 is
a high stress state. Knowing your stress level can help you identify stressful moments throughout your day. For
best results, you should wear the watch while sleeping.

and additional details.

Pulse Oximeter
The Lily 2 watch has a wrist-based pulse oximeter to gauge the saturation of oxygen in your blood. Knowing
your oxygen saturation can be valuable in understanding your overall health and help you determine how your
body is adapting to altitude. Your watch gauges your blood oxygen level by shining light into the skin and
checking how much light is absorbed. This is referred to as SpO
2
.
On the watch, your pulse oximeter readings appear as an SpO
2
percentage. On your Garmin Connect account,
you can view additional details about your pulse oximeter readings, including trends over multiple days (Turning
On Pulse Oximeter Sleep Tracking, page17). For more information on pulse oximeter accuracy, go to garmin
.com/ataccuracy.

stress level. The watch does not determine your stress level during timed activities.
If dashes appear instead of your stress level, be still, and wait while the watch measures your heart rate
variability.
My intensity minutes are flashing
When you exercise at an intensity level that qualifies toward your intensity minutes goal, the intensity minutes
flash.

Fitness Goals
Knowing your heart rate zones can help you measure and improve your fitness by understanding and applying
these principles.
Your heart rate is a good measure of exercise intensity.
Training in certain heart rate zones can help you improve cardiovascular capacity and strength.
If you know your maximum heart rate, you can use the table (Heart Rate Zone Calculations, page36) to
determine the best heart rate zone for your fitness objectives.
If you do not know your maximum heart rate, use one of the calculators available on the Internet. Some gyms
and health centers can provide a test that measures maximum heart rate. The default maximum heart rate is
220 minus your age.
About Heart Rate Zones
Many athletes use heart rate zones to measure and increase their cardiovascular strength and improve their
level of fitness. A heart rate zone is a set range of heartbeats per minute. The five commonly accepted
heart rate zones are numbered from 1 to 5 according to increasing intensity. Generally, heart rate zones are
calculated based on percentages of your maximum heart rate.
Heart Rate Zone Calculations
