Garmin has expanded its women-focused smartwatch lineup with the introduction of the Lily 2 Active, a compact yet feature-rich wearable designed to appeal to fitness enthusiasts and style-conscious users alike.
The Lily 2 Active builds upon the foundation of its predecessor, the Lily 2, by incorporating built-in GPS functionality. This addition transforms the device into a more comprehensive fitness tracking tool, allowing users to map their outdoor activities without the need for a connected smartphone.
Key Features:
- Compact Design : At just 38mm, the Lily 2 Active is Garmin's smallest GPS-enabled smartwatch to date.
- Unique Display : The watch features a monochrome screen hidden behind a translucent, patterned lens, offering a distinctive aesthetic when not in use.
- Extended Battery Life : Garmin claims up to 9 days of battery life in smartwatch mode, or 9 hours with continuous GPS usage.
- Fitness Tracking : Includes built-in sports apps for activities like tennis, pickleball, indoor cycling, and golf.
- Health Monitoring : Offers 24/7 heart rate tracking, Pulse Ox (blood oxygen saturation) measurements, and sleep tracking.
- Smart Features : Supports Garmin Pay for contactless payments and smartphone notifications.
The Lily 2 Active aims to strike a balance between fashion and function. Its hidden display only activates when the user interacts with the device, maintaining a sleek appearance throughout the day. The watch is available in three color options: Lunar Gold, Silver, and Jasper Green, each featuring a coordinated pattern on the display overlay.
While the Lily 2 Active offers a robust set of features, it's worth noting that it lacks some of the advanced health monitoring capabilities found in higher-end models, such as ECG functionality.
Priced at $299.99 in the US (£299 in the UK, AU$499 in Australia), the Garmin Lily 2 Active positions itself as a compelling alternative to popular fitness trackers from competitors like Fitbit. Its combination of GPS functionality, extended battery life, and stylish design could make it an attractive option for those seeking a more discreet yet capable smartwatch.
The Garmin Lily 2 Active is available now through Garmin's official website and select retailers.
