Garmin
Forerunner® 25 (010-01353-01)
Garmin
Lily® - Sport Edition (010-02384-03)
The Garmin Forerunner® 25 wears larger than the Garmin Lily® - Sport Edition (35mm vs 34.5mm case), giving it more wrist presence — and needing a wider wrist to sit cleanly.
The Garmin Lily® - Sport Edition is the slimmer of the two (10.15mm vs 13.9mm), so it slides under a cuff more easily.
On the wrist the Garmin Lily® - Sport Edition feels lighter (24g vs 31g, case only).
