How to Measure

Lay arm flat, palm up.

2

Measure the flat width across top of wrist.

Garmin Lily 2 Active
Case: 38mmL2L: 38mmThick: 11mm
Edge Clearance
+8.5mm
Understated8.5mm+ clearance. Conservative fit - could go larger if you want more wrist presence.
Garmin MARQ® Commander (Gen 2) - Carbon Edition (010-02722-00)
Case: 46mmL2L: 46mmThick: 15mm
Edge Clearance
+4.5mm
Balanced Fit4.5mm clearance. Comfortable everyday wear with room to spare.

The Garmin MARQ® Commander (Gen 2) - Carbon Edition wears larger than the Garmin Lily 2 Active (46mm vs 38mm case), giving it more wrist presence — and needing a wider wrist to sit cleanly.

The Garmin Lily 2 Active is the slimmer of the two (11mm vs 15mm), so it slides under a cuff more easily.

On the wrist the Garmin Lily 2 Active feels lighter (29g vs 76g, case only).
