On the occasion of Women's Day, Garmin has launched a new women centric fitness cum fashion watch.

The Garmin LILY.

The Lily is all about style, fashion, fitness and appeal. The watch is classic enough to make a statement, modern enough to keep you connected and sporty to track all your fitness activities. It is Garmin's lightest and most sleek watch upto date. A 34 mm diameter and fully touchscreen display makes the watch look more like a bracelet when worn. We have tried and tested the watch deeply to give an insight into this new gizmo from Garmin. The Lily.

Lets dive straight into the watch :

Garmin is proud to offer its smallest smartwatch so far. A 34-mm diameter is indeed very special. Instead of mechanical keys, the watch is touchscreen with is a sensor key underneath the display, which is protected by Gorilla Glass 3.

To turn on the watch one needs connect it to power supply.

Lily is small and chic - with flick of your wrist, the stylish patterned lens lights up to reveal a bright touchscreen display. What sets the Lily apart is the wallpaper display. In a wallpaper display the background of the display is a having a pattern onto which the display lights up.
