Size, specs & wrist fit compared

Which one fits you
On wrists narrower than about 48mm, the Garmin Lily 2 Active is the safer pick — it stays proportionate down to roughly 40mm, where the Xiaomi Redmi Watch Move starts to hang over the edge. Above 48mm both sit cleanly, and the Xiaomi Redmi Watch Move gives you more presence.
The Xiaomi Redmi Watch Move wears larger than the Garmin Lily 2 Active (38.9mm vs 38mm case), giving it more wrist presence — and needing a wider wrist to sit cleanly.
On the wrist the Xiaomi Redmi Watch Move feels lighter (25g vs 29g, case only).
Both are middle-of-the-pack for thickness among the 38mm and 39mm watches in the database.
The Xiaomi Redmi Watch Move is 0.9mm wider, 7.5mm longer, 0.2mm thinner and 4g lighter than the Garmin Lily 2 Active.

Watch Fit Tool
For sports watches, lug-to-lug (L2L) is what matters most — it decides whether a watch overhangs your wrist. Bulky is fine; overhang is not.
Measure at the point where you wear your watch — typically just below the wrist bone.
Flat width — lay your arm on a table, palm facing up, and measure straight across the top of your wrist with a ruler. Bone to bone; do not follow the curve down the sides.
Around — wrap a tape measure snugly round the wrist. No tape? Wrap a strip of paper, mark the overlap and hold the strip against a ruler.
Width ≠ circumference. They are different numbers — around 170mm is about 64mm across — so set the toggle to whichever one you actually measured before you type it in.

Understated
38mm on a 55mm wrist
Well inside your wrist on every measurement — you have room to go a size up if you want more presence.
On a 55mm wrist the sweet spot is 47–53mm lug to lug. This one is 38mm, so you could go bigger.
Measure where you wear it, just below the wrist bone. Either of these works — the tool converts between them.
- 1. Flat width — arm flat on a table, palm up. Measure straight across the top of the wrist, bone to bone, ignoring the curve down the sides.
- 2. Around — a tape, or a strip of paper marked and held against a ruler, snug the whole way round.
Leather: Attaches at the lugs, so the case back rests on your skin. Thins and softens with wear. Typical figures, not this model’s own.

Balanced Fit
45.5mm on a 55mm wrist
Comfortably inside the edges of your wrist, and it seats and sits low enough to wear without thinking about it.
