Garmin Lily 2 stylish smartwatch with improved sensors

Garmin has unveiled the Lily 2, a new line of women’s stylish smartwatches. The Lily 2 and Lily 2 Classic merge an elegant metal housing with robust, partly novel features, aiming to offer enhanced tracking of vital data during workouts.

Staying true to its core focus, the new generation Garmin Lily 2 primarily caters to women seeking a wearable device that blends style with functionality. According to the manufacturer, it caters to users looking for a stylish design alongside a host of health functions and sports activity tracking capabilities.

A distinctive feature is Garmin’s specialized display. When inactive, it showcases only the structured screen background. The 25.4 x 21.3-millimeter display boasts a resolution of 240 x 201 pixels but doesn’t support color reproduction, limited to 16 shades of gray.

In terms of usability, the menu structure’s complexity might not match that of current Forerunner or Fenix smartwatches. It employs an LCD screen shielded by Corning Gorilla Glass 3, promising a battery life of up to five days in smartwatch mode.

Equipped with a fourth-gen Garmin heart rate sensor, it promises precise tracking of heart rate and oxygen saturation levels. It also monitors breathing, and stress levels, and gauges the body’s performance reserves. Sleep analysis features aim to offer insights for improving sleep habits. Notably, the absence of a dedicated GNSS module means precise route tracking while walking requires a paired smartphone.

The Lily 2 offers notifications, and emergency contact alerts in case of accidents or falls, and displays appointments.
