Garmin Lily review: Price and competition
We tested the leather-strapped Garmin Lily Classic, whose £230 price tag puts in on a par with the Garmin Vivoactive 4 (currently £229 from Amazon) and overshoots the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 (£192) and Apple Watch Series 3 (£197) . The Garmin Lily Sport, a slightly less luxe model with a silicone strap, costs £150 – putting it in the same ballpark as its closest Garmin counterpart, the Vivomove 3 (£179).
It goes without saying that £150 is a lot to pay for a smartwatch without on-board GPS and NFC, which come built into all the other smartwatches just mentioned. Indeed, Garmin s Forerunner 45 (£118) offers built-in GPS for half the price of the Garmin Lily Classic.
Fitbit Luxe vs. Garmin Lily: A luxurious battle
There are usually quite a few differences when you compare the best Android smartwatches to the best fitness trackers. However, some wearables are more alike than you might think. That s certainly the case when you compare the Garmin Lily and the Fitbit Luxe, anyway. You might be shocked to find out there are hardly any differences between these two wearables.
Aside from their physical designs, these devices are nearly identical under the hood. If you like the look and feel of a traditional smartwatch on your wrist, you ll probably be partial to the Garmin Lily. If you want something smaller and more compact, the Fitbit Luxe might be more up your alley. Not to mention you get a gorgeous AMOLED display rather than the grayscale LCD on the Lily.

Garmin has established itself as a maker of some of the toughest, most reliable smartwatches on the market. Everyone loves an Apple Watch, but serious athletes love a Garmin.
But the company’s technical fireworks almost always come tucked inside bulky men’s watches and trackers.
You might ask, “Who cares what a GPS system so advanced it can help you navigate through the Amazon rainforest comes encased in?” To that the female fitness enthusiast might respond, “Try riding a Peloton with a flip-flop strapped to your wrist.”
I exaggerate. But truly, a bulky fitness tracker weighing down your arm and marring your cutest athleisure getup is terrible
