The Lily 2 Active sits at the top of the current Lily 2 family, separated from its siblings by two physical side buttons and its own built-in GPS — meaning it can track a run or ride independently, without a phone in a pocket. That distinction is the reason this variant exists. At 38mm and 29 grams it sits very lightly on the wrist, and the sizing range of 110mm to 175mm reflects a genuine fit for smaller wrists rather than a scaled-down version of something built for larger ones. The patterned lens conceals the display entirely at rest; it reads as a conventional watch face until a wrist turn or tap wakes the greyscale screen beneath. The matched Jasper Green across case, strap and dial gives the whole thing a considered, coordinated appearance. Nine days of battery in daily use drops to nine hours once GPS is running continuously — a real number to plan around for longer activities, though more than sufficient for most training sessions.

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.
Cheapest place to buy
F.Hinds is the only UK retailer we track stocking this reference, so there is nothing to compare it against today.
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.
