At this time, all the tech companies are giving us yearly updates on their products. Similar is the case for Garmin — the same company that launched a James Bond-esque Tactix 7 AMOLED a while back. This time around they have announced the next generation of Lily smartwatches! This article will look into the new Garmin Lily 2 series including its price in Nepal.
Garmin Lily 2 Series Overview
The Lily 2 Series consists of two models of smartwatches: the Lily 2 and the Lily 2 Classic. Both these smartwatches are almost the same. The major differentiating factor is their strap materials. The Garmin Lily 2 comes with a silicone strap, while the Garmin Lily 2 Classic gets a more premium choice of either Nylon or Leather straps. Now that’s out of the way, let’s move on with the Garmin Lily 2 series.
Design and Display
The Garmin Lily watches were focused on ladies and as such the newer iteration does the same as well. Given that, the Garmin Lily 2 series is a petite smartwatch with minimal and elegant looks. The watch measures just 35.40 mm in circumference and 10.10 mm in thickness. The Garmin Lily 2 goes with anodised aluminium for case and bezels and comes with multiple choices of strap material and colours.
Meanwhile, on the front, we are getting a greyscale touchscreen LCD measuring 240 x 201 pixels in resolution. Though the screen is not AMOLED, it looks extremely premium nonetheless. This is all thanks to the unique patterns featured in the lens of the watch itself. As such, the Garmin Lily 2 series still shows its elegant patterns when the screen is turned off. Other than that, it features a Corning Gorilla Glass 3 for added durability while offering 5 ATM water resistance.

Even though the Garmin Lily 2 series does not have a built-in GPS, it can be connected to a compatible smartphone to offer a GPS-based distance, time, and pace.
Talking of connectivity, it offers so through Bluetooth and is compatible with both Android and iOS. Here, it offers different sorts of notifications but text response and phone call rejection through text is only available for Android users.
