Which one fits you
Both need much the same wrist — roughly 37–51mm across the flat of the wrist. Neither will fit where the other won't, so decide on thickness, weight and features instead.
The Lily® 2 and Lily® 2 Classic share a near-identical 35.4mm case, so wrist presence comes down to thickness, lug-to-lug and weight.
On the wrist the Lily® 2 Classic feels lighter (20.6g vs 24.4g, case only).
Both are middle-of-the-pack for thickness among the 35mm watches in the database.
The Lily® 2 is 3.8g heavier than the Lily® 2 Classic. Both are circular.

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.
Lay your arm flat on a table, palm facing up
Measure across the flat top of your wrist (not the circumference)
Measure at the point where you wear your watch — typically just below the wrist bone
Wrist width ≠ circumference. We need the flat width across the top of your wrist where the watch sits, not how far around.

35.4mm 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 35.4mm, so you could go bigger.
- 1. Lay your arm flat, palm up.
- 2. Measure the flat width across the top of your wrist — not the circumference.
- 3. Measure where you wear it, just below the wrist bone.
Leather: Attaches at the lugs, so the case back rests on your skin. Thins and softens with wear. The default: depth about seven tenths of the width. Typical figures, not this model’s own.
