Size, specs & wrist fit compared

Which one fits you
On wrists narrower than about 44mm, the Lily® 2 is the safer pick — it stays proportionate down to roughly 37mm, where the Epix Pro Gen 2 42mm starts to hang over the edge. Above 44mm both sit cleanly, and the Epix Pro Gen 2 42mm gives you more presence.
The Epix Pro Gen 2 42mm wears larger than the Lily® 2 (42mm vs 35.4mm case), giving it more wrist presence — and needing a wider wrist to sit cleanly.
The Lily® 2 is the slimmer of the two (10.1mm vs 14.1mm), so it slides under a cuff more easily.
On the wrist the Lily® 2 feels lighter (24.4g vs 63g, case only).
Among the 658 42mm watches we hold thickness for, the Epix Pro Gen 2 42mm is thicker than 81% — it will sit high even though the case width reads modest.
The Lily® 2 is middle-of-the-pack for thickness among the 105 35mm watches in the database.
The Epix Pro Gen 2 42mm is 6.6mm wider, 6.6mm longer, 4mm thicker and 38.6g heavier than the Lily® 2. Both are circular.
