Garmin Lily

Attractive design Bright display Superb companion app

No on-board GPS No contactless payments Expensive for its feature set

The Garmin Lily is a great-looking watch that's been thoughtfully designed with women in mind, but it's lacking some key features we'd expect to find in a watch at this price point. Smartwatches were once chunky, ugly things, but there are so many slim...

Accurate activity tracking ; Interesting design concept with a nice-looking finish ; Small and compact and lightweight

Battery life half that of claimed ; No always-on display option ; No built-in GPS ; Smartphone notifications pointless ; Patterned lens is love/hate

If you're after a watch that offers good activity tracking, is very small and dainty, and don't mind taking your phone with you when exercising, and recharging it daily, then this smartwatch has its share of positives. But Garmin's own range offers...

Stylish and delicate, more like a traditional watch ; Easy to set up and use app ; Unusual but well connecting charger

No GPS without phone pairing ; Special safety feature has limited use ; Battery life doesn’t last as long as other models ; Limited activity options (maximum five at a time) ; Expensive considering pared back capabilities

Stylish and comfortable to wear on petite wrists. Full-featured for a hybrid analog.

The interface is too swipe heavy. Screen not as responsive as I'd like. Tethered GPS is sometimes unreliable. Automatic activity tracking is wildly inaccurate.

Great fit, for even the slightest of wrist sizes ; Simple, easy to understand UI ; Accurate heart rate tracking ; Detailed, accurate sleep tracking

Display pattern can be distracting ; Proprietary, non-standard charger ; Proprietary straps may cause headaches

The Garmin Lily is a capable fitness tracker, but we wouldn't call it "the smartwatch women have been waiting for." It performs well at all the basics and has a handful of smartwatch features, but some of the design decisions hinder the Lily's potential.
