Garmin Lily: the sporty and fashionable lifestyle smartwatch
Zurich, on 10.02.2021
Translation: Eva Francis
Not all smartwatches are big and bulky – some models are designed with aesthetics and elegance in mind. Garmin’s Lily is the latest example for this. It comes with a range of interchangeable wristband options.
I've often noticed that smartwatches aren’t as popular with my female friends than with my male ones. Why? Surely not for lack of technical interest or sportiness. Instead, I often encounter similar opinions that can be roughly summarised as follows: «I could get excited about a smartwatch, but they're all too big and bulky for my wrist and they're not really elegant either.»
Garmin has long recognised this need and has designed smartwatches aimed at women, as for instance the Vivoactive 4s or the Venu Sq. The latest addition – Garmin Lily – takes things one step further.
Its dimensions are designed for slim wrists. With a case size of 34 millimetres, it’s the smallest Garmin smartwatch to date. With a thickness of 10.15 mm, it's also more than 10% thinner than the Vivoactive 4s or Venu Sq. The wristbands are 14 millimetres wide, which is also less than the usual 18 or 20 millimetre wristbands. In addition, Lily weighs 24 grams, which also makes it the lightest Garmin watch. It’s over 30% lighter than Vivo or Venu models.
Specs and functions at a glance
From a technical point of view, Lily is just as powerful as the larger models. It offers five days of battery life, a colour display with touchscreen, a pretty complete selection of sports functions and countless smart everyday features – so many I can’t list them all here.

Leather or silicone wristbands
There are additional interchangeable wristbands for Garmin’s new model. The more elegant version is made of leather and is available in two lengths: for a wrist circumference of 110 to 175 mm or 120 to 195 mm.
The Garmin Lily models in our range come with a silicone wristband. Thus, the following silicone wristbands (for a wrist circumference of 110 to 195 mm) are particularly suitable as replacement bands.
The other wristbands in our range aren’t compatible with Lily, as they feature a width of 14 millimetres and a special clasp.
When you order Garmin’s Lily, a charging cable is already included. If you keep losing charging cables or would like to have a second one, you'll need this charging clip.

Several interesting background videos by Garmin can be found on YouTube, for example about the development process of Lily or its exact functionalities. Here are two examples:

A day without doing sports and enjoying music is a wasted day. I'm a passionate triathlete who never leaves the house without headphones and smartwatch. To me, keeping up with the digitalisation of everyday life means constantly trying out new devices and always being curious.
