Which one fits you
On wrists narrower than about 43mm, the Garmin Lily 2 Active is the safer pick — it stays proportionate down to roughly 40mm, where the Google Pixel Watch 3 41mm starts to hang over the edge. Above 43mm both sit cleanly, and the Google Pixel Watch 3 41mm gives you more presence.
The Google Pixel Watch 3 41mm wears larger than the Garmin Lily 2 Active (41mm 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 12.3mm), so it slides under a cuff more easily.
On the wrist the Garmin Lily 2 Active feels lighter (29g vs 31g, case only).
Both are middle-of-the-pack for thickness among the 38mm and 41mm watches in the database.
The Google Pixel Watch 3 41mm is 3mm wider, 3mm longer, 1.3mm thicker and 2g heavier than the Garmin Lily 2 Active. Both are circular.
