In short: the Garmin Lily 2, Lily 2 Classic and Lily 2 Active all take standard 14mm quick-release watch bands, no tools needed. You can swap between silicone, leather and stainless steel straps in seconds. Mobile Mob stocks a full range of Garmin Lily 2 replacement bands starting from around $24, shipped from Melbourne with free express post on orders over $85.
If you've just picked up a Lily 2, or you're after a band that suits the office better than the one in the box, this guide covers what size band the Lily 2 takes, which bands fit which Lily models, and how to choose between silicone, leather and metal.
What size band does the Garmin Lily 2 use?
The Garmin Lily 2 uses a 14mm wide, standard quick-release band. Garmin confirms this in the official owner's manual, and it applies across the whole Lily 2 family:
- Garmin Lily 2 – 14mm quick release
- Garmin Lily 2 Classic – 14mm quick release
- Garmin Lily 2 Active – 14mm quick release
Quick-release means each band has a small sliding pin built into the spring bar. Slide the pin, pop the band off, click the new one in. No screwdrivers, no jeweller's tools, no trip to a watch shop. Most people manage their first swap in under a minute.
Because 14mm is a standard width, any quality 14mm quick-release strap will fit. That opens up far more style options than Garmin's official range.
Do original Garmin Lily bands fit the Lily 2?
No, and this catches a lot of people out. The first-generation Garmin Lily uses a screw-in T-bar attachment that needs a band replacement tool. It isn't a standard quick-release system, so original Lily bands and Lily 2 bands are not interchangeable.
If you have the first-gen Lily, you'll need bands made specifically for it. You'll find those in our original Garmin Lily bands collection. If you have the Lily 2, Lily 2 Classic or Lily 2 Active, everything below will fit.
Not sure which model you own? Check the back of the watch case, or look at the band attachment. Visible screws at the lugs means original Lily; a small sliding pin on the underside of the band means Lily 2.
Which Garmin Lily 2 band should you choose?
The right band depends on where the watch spends most of its time: the gym, the office, or a bit of both. Here's how the three main materials compare.
| Band type | Best for | Feel on wrist | Water & sweat | Price guide |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Silicone | Workouts, sleep tracking, everyday wear | Soft, lightweight | Excellent, rinse and go | From ~$24 |
| Leather | Office, dinners, dressing the Lily 2 up | Classic, breaks in over time | Keep dry where possible | ~$49 |
| Stainless steel | Premium everyday style, durability | Solid, jewellery-like | Very good, wipe dry | ~$68 |
Silicone: the everyday workhorse
If you wear your Lily 2 around the clock for workouts, sleep tracking and school runs, a silicone band is the practical pick. It's soft against the skin, handles sweat and water without complaint, and comes in enough colours to rotate with your wardrobe.
Our Garmin Lily 2 silicone replacement straps start from around $24, so it's easy to keep a spare or grab a couple of colours.
Leather: dress it up
The Lily 2 was designed as a fashion-first smartwatch, and a leather band leans into that. The Abbie leather band pairs brown leather with a rose gold buckle, a combination that sits naturally next to the Lily 2's smaller, jewellery-style case and works from the office through to dinner.
Leather isn't the band for swimming laps or sweaty gym sessions, so many Lily 2 owners keep a leather band for daywear and swap to silicone for training. With quick-release pins, that swap takes seconds.
Stainless steel: the premium look
If you want the Lily 2 to pass for a bracelet rather than a fitness tracker, the Boss stainless link band in rose gold does exactly that. Stainless steel shrugs off daily wear, doesn't absorb sweat the way fabric or leather can, and the link design keeps it secure on smaller wrists.
How do you change a Garmin Lily 2 band?
- Flip the watch over and find the small sliding pin on the underside of the band, near the lug.
- Slide the pin inward and the band releases from the watch.
- Take your new band and insert one end of the spring bar into the watch lug.
- Slide the quick-release pin, line up the other end, and release. You'll feel it click into place.
- Give the band a gentle tug to confirm it's secure.
That's it. No tools required for any band in our Lily 2 range.
Don't forget the screen
While you're upgrading the band, it's worth protecting the part of the watch you can't replace. The Lily 2's small lens sits exposed on the wrist, and a tempered glass Garmin Lily 2 screen protector kit ($19.95 for a multi-pack) is cheap insurance against keys, benchtops and gym equipment.
Frequently asked questions
Do Lily 2 bands fit the Lily 2 Active?
Yes. The Lily 2, Lily 2 Classic and Lily 2 Active all use the same standard 14mm quick-release system, so bands are fully interchangeable across the Lily 2 family. We also have dedicated Lily 2 Active and Lily 2 Classic collections if you'd like to browse by model.
Will any 14mm watch band fit the Garmin Lily 2?
Any 14mm band with quick-release spring bars will fit. Standard 14mm bands without quick-release pins can technically attach with a spring bar tool, but quick-release is far more convenient. Every band in our Lily 2 range is quick release.
Can I wear a silicone Lily 2 band in the shower or pool?
Yes, silicone handles water without issue. Just rinse it in fresh water after swimming in chlorine or salt water. Leather bands should be kept dry where possible.
Are aftermarket Lily 2 bands as good as Garmin's?
A well-made aftermarket band uses the same standard 14mm quick-release attachment as Garmin's own, fits identically, and typically costs a fraction of the price. That makes it easy to own a few styles instead of one.
Where do Mobile Mob orders ship from?
Everything ships from Melbourne, Australia. Orders over $85 get free express post, and every band is covered by our 30-day change of mind policy.
