Design & comfort: Small diameter, real presence
Daily Dimensions & Port
The 35.4 mm housing holds under a round without hanging. The thickness is around 10 mm. The weight remains feather, around 24 g. Result: the watch is forgotten, the sensors remain stable.
Anodized aluminum avoids garish reflections. The Gorilla Glass 3 glass cashes everyday gestures. The whole remains clear after a busy day, set bag, metro corridor, keyboard.
5 ATM seal: rain, shower, swimming pool. Nothing extreme. Just real life.
Bracelets & Styles
Standard 14 mm standard bracelets. No owner system. Silicone for sport and shower. Leather or nylon for the office. Change in ten seconds, without tools.
The template is suitable for fine wrists. The back remains well tackled, without extra thickness on the wrist bone. Cardio is gaining regularity, without excessive tightening.

Screen & interactions: a lens that chooses its moments
What we see, what we do not see
At the end: a discreet, almost jeweler. In the gesture: a monochrome touch screen 240 × 201. The contrast is frank, the information breathes. We read and leave. No widgets fair.
The gestures remain natural: tap to wake up, slide to change widget. The haptic return is light. The interface does not try to imitate a smartphone. Good thing: we don’t get lost.
Sorted notifications on the application side: calls, SMS, important reminders. The rest awaits. The watch does not pay attention, it protects it.
Garmin Pay arrives on the Classic and Active (according to banks and regions). Practical to catch a coffee, elbow bag, without searching.

Useful health & sport: regularity rather than performance
Daily health
Body Battery synthesizes sleep, stress and activity. It is an energy barometer. We avoid chaining by inertia. We choose our highlights.
Sleep is read with a clear score. The phases are linked without excessive technicality. The SPO2 Nocturne option exists; She nibbles the battery. To be activated by need, not in principle.
Stress is seen by heart rate variability. A climb? A minute of guided breathing puts calm. Simple, effective.
Menstrual follow -up and pregnancy monitoring are there for the context. Usually tracks, reminders, trends. Nothing intrusive.
Daily sport
Integrated profiles: walking, running, interior bike, swimming, yoga, pilates, reinforce, dance. Better a suitable profile than a “other” tote. The watch keeps your routine pleasant.
GPS: Lily 2 and Classic rely on the smartphone. It’s perfect for a midday race with the brassard phone. To leave light without a phone, the active brings an integrated GPS and buttons to make sweat controls more reliable.
Swimming: 5 ATM is enough for the swimming pool. We swim, we rinse, we leave.
IOS and Android compatibility via Garmin Connect. Synchronization of sessions, widgets, sober dials. Nothing convoluted.
