The Lily 2 Active is the version of Garmin's small-format fitness watch that adds onboard multi-GNSS GPS — something the original Lily 2 required a paired phone to approximate. That addition, along with two physical side buttons alongside the touchscreen, makes this the more capable sibling rather than simply a refresh. At 38mm and 29 grams, it sits on the wrist in a way that most fitness-oriented watches twice its weight do not. The Lunar Gold anodised aluminium case and bone-coloured silicone strap lean toward something you would wear all day without it reading as gym equipment. Battery life runs to nine days in standard use, which drops to nine hours under continuous GPS — a realistic trade-off for a watch this light, and one worth understanding before relying on it for longer outdoor activities. The move to a standard 14mm quick-release fitting is worth noting for anyone who found older Lily generations limiting: the strap is now replaceable without tools and compatible with the wider market rather than Garmin's own proprietary options.

Learn more about Garmin
Gary Burrell and Min Kao founded Garmin in 1989 — the name is a contraction of their first names — to build GPS receivers for aviation and marine use. Consumer navigation came later, and wearables later still.
Unlike most names in this directory that arrived from outside watchmaking, Garmin is not a licence. It designs and builds its own devices, writes its own software and runs its own satellite-positioning stack, which is why its watches do things Swiss houses do not attempt.
The fenix line established the template in 2012: a rugged multi-sport GPS watch with mapping, altimeter and week-long battery life. Forerunner covers running, Instinct the hard-wearing end, Venu the smartwatch end, and the MARQ line puts the same electronics in titanium and sapphire at Swiss prices.
Battery life is the differentiator. Where most smartwatches are measured in days, Garmin measures in weeks, and in solar-charging models sometimes in months.
These are instruments rather than heirlooms, and they date the way electronics date — but for anyone who actually trains, they are among the few watches on the market that earn their place.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
Showering yes, swimming no. 50m covers splashes and brief immersion, but a swimming stroke generates well above the pressure that figure describes.
Water resistance explainedWill the glass scratch?
It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes it need a battery?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedWhat size strap does it take?
14mm. Any strap of that width will fit, and on most modern watches quick-release bars make the swap a two-minute job with no tools.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as women's, though at 38mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
Has the price changed recently?
It's currently at its lowest recorded price since we began tracking it. It's ranged between £280 and £300, today it's £280.
