Garmin Lily 2
via: u/minasoftware, thank you
We will almost certainly see the Garmin Lily 2 formally announced on Tuesday 9th January, or the following day. The timing is linked to CES as well as the first Tuesday/Wednesdays of the month being the more likely year-round.
In advance of that Garmin has kindly leaked an image via Reddit on one of its Asian websites, I think the Taiwanese or Japanese one? Hopefully, we will also see HRM-FIT released the same day.
Other than the replacement of the super-ugly strap on the first-generation model and possibly a new, less-rounded bezel, I can’t see anything new here. I’ve included an image of the current model for comparative purposes below.

My favourite kit and nutrition
- Injinji – Runners protect your toes. Avoid discomfort and minor injury. Run more. Run faster. I use them.
