Smartwatches aren't exactly known for their aesthetic appeal, but the Garmin Lily changed that. Our reviewer called the second generation of the watch "sleek, stylish, and beautiful." The thing is, that beauty came with a few functionality qualms — particularly in activity tracking. The Garmin Lily 2 Active, the latest generation of the watch, offers a major upgrade to fix those functionality flaws. And it's on sale!

As of May 8, you can get the Garmin Lily 2 Active for just $249.99 instead of $299.99 at Amazon, Best Buy, and Garmin itself. That's about 17% in savings and knocks it back down to its lowest price on record — only the second time it's dropped this low since its fall release.

The Lily 2 Active keeps all the aesthetic grace of the the first two generations, but adds expanded sport modes, a longer battery life (up to 9 days vs. 5 days), physical buttons on the side for easier use during workouts, and the real kicker: built-in GPS. Adding built-in GPS allows you to more accurately track outdoor activities like walks, runs, bike rides, and more without relying on your phone.

It's also worth noting that the Garmin Connect companion app, which Mashable's reviewer was less than pleased with, has been overhauled since her initial review. The upgrade simplified the app design and I, as a Garmin user, can tell you the difference is night and day. The clunkiness is gone and while there's hiccups like any other app, it's mostly a seamless experience working alongside the watch.
