Garmin unveils surprising new Lily 2 Active, the smallest smartwatch with GPS
Garmin has just unveiled its latest fashion-forward smartwatch aimed at the women’s market, the new Lily 2 Active.
Building on the success of the Garmin Lily 2, the new Lily 2 Active adds built-in GPS, as well as many of Garmin’s other popular health and wellness features.
In fact, it is the smallest Garmin smartwatch with GPS, housed in a metal watch case with two side buttons and a hidden display. Battery life is up to nine days in smartwatch mode, or nine hours when using GPS.
Like previous Lily offerings, you get a bright touchscreen display hidden by the patterned lens. The screen can be revealed with a tap or twist of your wrist, making this the perfect smartwatch for both work and play.
Garmin unveils the Lily 2 Active
The Lily 2 Active’s built-in GPS lets you track outdoor activities like walking, running, cycling and more without having a smartphone nearby. It also features Garmin’s Body Battery wellness monitor, so you can stay on top of your overall well-being.
It features sleep tracking and a scoring system to give you insight into how to improve your rest.
There’s also fitness tracking to help count steps, calories burned and exercise sessions. In our Garmin Lily 2 review we noted the lack of sports tracking. The new Lily 2 Active addresses this and comes with built-in sports apps for tennis, pickleball, indoor cycling and golf. There are even on-screen workouts for strength, HIIT, yoga and more that you can access right from your watch screen.
Finally, there is support for Garmin Coach, Garmin Pay and the Garmin Connect smartphone app. Overall, it has a handful of great new features that could land the Lily 2 Active on our best Garmin watch list.
Available now from Garmin websitethe Lily 2 Active costs $299/£299/AU$499 and comes in Lunar Gold, Silver and Jasper Green.
