Garmin Drops Its First Smartwatch for Women—Finally

Post by PinkDiamond »

This watch doesn't look feminine at all, and wouldn't be something I would wear but there are a lot of minimalists who should like it. What do you think of it, does it appeal to you? Does it look like something you'd want to wear? :?:

Garmin Drops Its First Smartwatch for Women—Finally

"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—especially when you’re in beast mode, baby!

The Lily comes in two styles, Sport (with a silicone strap) and Classic (with a leather strap), and features a 34 mm watch case, which is Garmin’s smallest yet. Both styles look more like a fashion watch than a fitness band or an all-business sports watch. The Lily is petite and pretty but also minimalist, so not girly—a good thing.

This watch can do a lot of tracking, body monitoring, and GPS orienting without connecting to a smartphone. But when synced with the Garmin Connect app through a phone, Lily can do even more, including tracking your heart rate, respiration, daily fluid intake, sleep duration and quality, and even period cycles and pregnancies.

Additionally, the watch’s Pulse Ox sensor4 (quite the serious name) checks your blood oxygen saturation at any point during the day, or for part of the night as you sleep, to show how well your body is absorbing oxygen.

The lightweight watch also alerts you to emails, texts, and calls (and lets you read emails and texts). There’s a calendar view that lets you check your daily agenda directly from your wrist. And when the watch and phone are paired, you can send an assistance alert with your live location to selected contacts—a super feature for those who like to train in cavernous canyons, hike through big forests, bike through icy tundras, etc.

But perhaps the cherry on top of this smartwatch sundae is the ... "
