If you're looking for more in the way of lifestyle features, I suggest checking out the Versa 3, which supports Amazon Alexa so you can set reminders, start tracking a run, and more with your voice. I once accidentally triggered this feature, but was able to cancel it in time. The watch will then vibrate and display a five-second countdown timer before notifying your emergency contacts. You can also request assistance from the controls menu using the star icon. To do so, tap firmly and rapidly on the screen until the device vibrates three times. During the guided breathing exercise, the watch instructs you when to inhale, hold your breath, and exhale.įinally, but perhaps most importantly, the Lily offers a nice safety feature that lets you quickly send a notification with your whereabouts to your emergency contacts if you get into trouble.

In the stress widget, you can see your current stress score and start a guided breathing exercise. A score of zero to 25 indicates you're at rest, 26 to 50 means your stress level is low, 51 to 75 means your stress level is medium, and 76 to 100 means you're highly stressed. The Lily then quantifies your stress level on a scale of zero to 100. Like the Vivoactive 4, the Lily analyzes your heart rate variability, or the natural variation of time that occurs between each heartbeat, to determine when you're under stress and at rest. One of the things I like about the Lily is that it can detect when you're stressed and suggest a relaxing breathing exercise. Your SpO2 reading alone can't diagnose COVID-19, but as the Yale School of Medicine advises (Opens in a new window), a reading below 90% may warrant a trip to the emergency room. Ideally, your SpO2 level should be 95 to 100%.

The company says it designed the Classic version to pair well with business casual looks, and the Sport model to work with athleisure wear.Īs I discuss in my Series 6 and Sense reviews, this metric indicates how well your circulatory and respiratory systems are delivering oxygenated blood to your body, and can help you gauge whether a hospital visit is necessary. Garmin sells two different Lily models, including a $199.99 Sport version with an aluminum bezel and a silicone band, and a $249.99 Classic version with a stainless steel bezel and an Italian leather band. And while it isn't quite as value-rich as the similarly priced Fitbit Versa 3, the Lily is an excellent choice if you're looking for a fitness-focused smartwatch that prioritizes style and won't break the bank. It lacks a color, always-on display and several other features you get with Garmin's Vivoactive 4/4S, but it also costs significantly less. It also offers more typical smartwatch features such as phone notifications, music playback controls, and various widgets. More than just beautiful, the Lily can track health stats such as your blood oxygen saturation, calories burned, energy level, heart rate, respiration, sleep, steps, stress, and workouts.

Starting at $199.99, it features an attractive, patterned face and a 14mm band that's much slimmer than most smartwatch straps, so you can wear it alongside other jewelry. The Lily is Garmin's smallest smartwatch/ fitness tracker to date, and its first model designed specifically for women.
