Size, specs & wrist fit compared

Which one fits you
On wrists narrower than about 48mm, the Active 2 is the safer pick — it stays proportionate down to roughly 46mm, where the Balance starts to hang over the edge. Above 48mm both sit cleanly, and the Balance gives you more presence.
The Balance wears larger than the Active 2 (46mm vs 43.9mm case), giving it more wrist presence — and needing a wider wrist to sit cleanly.
The Active 2 is the slimmer of the two (9.9mm vs 10.6mm), so it slides under a cuff more easily.
On the wrist the Active 2 feels lighter (29.5g vs 35g, case only).
The Active 2 is thinner than 99% of the 44mm watches we track and the Balance than 98% of the 46mm ones — so both wear flatter than their widths suggest.
The Balance is 2.1mm wider, 2.1mm longer, 0.7mm thicker and 5.5g heavier than the Active 2. Both are circular.
