It is not easy for new players to penetrate the otherwise competitive smartwatch arena. But Garmin is no outsider. Arguably, it is amid the top few in the industry. No wonder, the GPS-enabled consumer tech specialist is increasing its profile with the addition of a women-first watch that’s stylish, features built-in GPS, and comes with all the health and wellness features of a connected smartwatch.
Called the Lily 2 Active, this is the smallest GPS-enabled smartwatch in the Garmin family. Perhaps for some that could mean the Lily 2 Active cuts corners, but it’s far from the fact. It’s a small, but fashionable feature-focused smartwatch that comes with nine days of battery life – if you are not using the GPS. With the GPS running all the time, the watch will trim the usage down to nine hours before requiring a recharge.
Designer: Garmin
Of course, the Lily 2 Active has been created with a primary emphasis on women’s health tracking features. So, the watch can be used to keep track of the menstrual cycles, pregnancies, and also monitor the different sleep stages. Small but durable the watch has a metal casing and a hidden display that comes to life on a tap or with movement of the wrist.
The watch is provided with two push buttons to select activities or toggle between screens. It comes preinstalled with workout features for cardio, yoga, tennis, dance fitness, strength training and more. Interestingly, the user can download the high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and yoga sessions to view the workout on the Lily 2 Active’s screen. With the videos playing directly on the wrist, you can ensure to follow the workout correctly even when you are outdoors without access to a larger screen device.
Since it is designed with all the health monitoring and wellness features, the smartwatch allows the wearer to keep track of their different sleep stages along with the continuous monitoring of the heart rate, Pulse Ox2, stress, and respiration. It accumulates information about the user’s night sleep and grants insight into their sleep quality with other wellness details in the morning. Built-in GPS can keep track of your outdoor activities, including walks, runs and more.
Lily 2 Active is compatible with Garmin’s Connect smartphone app and lets you make contactless payments using Garmin Pay. The watch works error-free with iOS and Android and comes in three color variants: Lunar Gold with Bone silicon strap, Silver with a Purple Jasmine silicon strap, and Jasper Green with a Jasper Green silicone strap for $300 apiece.
