Which one fits you
On wrists narrower than about 46mm, the Garmin Vivoactive 6 is the safer pick — it stays proportionate down to roughly 44mm, where the Amazfit Active 2 starts to hang over the edge. Above 46mm both sit cleanly, and the Amazfit Active 2 gives you more presence.
The Amazfit Active 2 wears larger than the Garmin Vivoactive 6 (43.9mm vs 42.2mm case), giving it more wrist presence — and needing a wider wrist to sit cleanly.
The Amazfit Active 2 is the slimmer of the two (9.9mm vs 10.9mm), so it slides under a cuff more easily.
On the wrist the Amazfit Active 2 feels lighter (29.5g vs 36g, case only).
Among the 316 44mm watches we hold thickness for, the Amazfit Active 2 is thinner than 99%, so it wears flatter than its width suggests.
Among the 697 42mm watches we hold thickness for, the Garmin Vivoactive 6 is thinner than 84%, so it wears flatter than its width suggests.
