Garmin also unveiled the Lily 2 at CES 2024. This US$249.99 (around CA$335) hybrid smartwatch is an upgrade to its petite Lily hybrid analog smartwatch. The Lily 2 retains the original design but adds sleep scores, dance fitness activities, and Garmin Pay.
The Lily smartwatch debuted in 2021 as a women-focused watch with a hidden OLED display and patterned lenses. It also had the smallest case size for a smartwatch at 34mm. However, it compromised on interface, features, and battery life.

Garmin introduces a new heart rate monitor that will help those who wear sports bras have an easier time tracking their health data. The company introduced the HRM-Fit at CES 2024, a new clip-on heart rate monitor that works with medium- to high-support bras.
Traditional chest strap heart rate monitors aren't the most comfortable to wear, so attaching a heart rate monitor to a sports bra brings that bit of comfort.
Monday, November 27, 2023 at 12:08AM Garmin has announced the Descent G1 Solar – Ocean Edition, a new version of its Descent G1 dive computer that uses recycled ocean-bound plastics. The watch, which also exclusively features solar charging, is a multi-use smartwatch that can track various diving modes, fitness activities, and wellness metrics. It comes in a single Azure colorway with a dark lakeside case and an azure blue band.
The Descent G1 Solar – Ocean Edition is Garmin’s most sustainable smartwatch to date. It uses plastics that would otherwise end up in the ocean for its buttons, bezel, and housing. The source of these plastics is not specified by Garmin, but the company says it is committed to reducing its environmental impact. The watch still has a silicone strap and some other basic materials. The details of the sustainable materials used in the production of the device are not disclosed.
