Editor's Verdict
With the Garmin Lily 2 Active, Garmin finally added built-in GPS, two physical side buttons, and 9-day battery life to its petite 38mm jewelry-inspired anodized aluminum case. When idle, the display vanishes behind a patterned lens; flick your wrist and you get Garmin Pay, Sleep Coach, HRV status, and true untethered outdoor run tracking in a 29-gram package.
