Expert Review Summary
The Garmin Lily 2 (2024) is the lightest fitness tracker in Garmin's lineup at just 24g without the strap, housed in a 34.4mm case with a distinctive patterned lens overlay that conceals the display when inactive. Starting at $249.99, it targets women who want Garmin's trusted health platform in a device that doubles as everyday jewelry rather than a sport watch.
Sensors include optical heart rate, SpO2 blood oxygen monitoring, Body Battery energy monitoring, stress tracking, and women's health features covering menstrual cycle and pregnancy tracking. Sleep tracking includes a sleep score and smart alarm. The patterned display uses a TFT LCD with 16 levels of grayscale and a 240x201 pixel resolution that is revealed with a wrist raise. Eighteen exercise modes cover popular activities including yoga, strength training, dance, and walking. Smartphone notifications, weather, and calendar events are viewable on the wrist.
Battery life of 5 days in smartwatch mode is the main limitation, requiring mid-week charging for most users. Connected GPS via the paired phone is used for route mapping rather than a built-in GPS module, which means outdoor run distance and pace depend on carrying a phone. The Garmin Connect app provides access to Garmin's ecosystem including Body Battery trends, sleep insights, and health statistics. For fashion-forward users who want Garmin's reliable health analytics in a compact, discreet package rather than a sport-forward device, the Lily 2 fills a unique niche in the brand's lineup.
