Amazfit Active 2 vs Garmin Vivomove Trend
Size, specs & wrist fit compared

Which one fits you
On wrists narrower than about 46mm, the Garmin Vivomove Trend is the safer pick — it stays proportionate down to roughly 43mm, 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 Vivomove Trend (43.9mm vs 40.4mm 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 11.9mm), so it slides under a cuff more easily.
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 509 40mm watches we hold thickness for, the Garmin Vivomove Trend is thicker than 82% — it will sit high even though the case width reads modest.
The Amazfit Active 2 is 3.5mm wider, 3.5mm longer, 2mm thinner and 1.2g heavier than the Garmin Vivomove Trend. 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.
Measure at the point where you wear your watch — typically just below the wrist bone.
Flat width — lay your arm on a table, palm facing up, and measure straight across the top of your wrist with a ruler. Bone to bone; do not follow the curve down the sides.
Around — wrap a tape measure snugly round the wrist. No tape? Wrap a strip of paper, mark the overlap and hold the strip against a ruler.
Width ≠ circumference. They are different numbers — around 170mm is about 64mm across — so set the toggle to whichever one you actually measured before you type it in.

Case 43.9mm · Lug-to-lug 43.9mm · Thickness 9.9mm · 30g
Balanced Fit
43.9mm on a 55mm wrist
Comfortably inside the edges of your wrist, and it seats and sits low enough to wear without thinking about it.
On a 55mm wrist the sweet spot is 47–53mm lug to lug. This one is 43.9mm, so you could go bigger.
Measure where you wear it, just below the wrist bone. Either of these works — the tool converts between them.
- 1. Flat width — arm flat on a table, palm up. Measure straight across the top of the wrist, bone to bone, ignoring the curve down the sides.
- 2. Around — a tape, or a strip of paper marked and held against a ruler, snug the whole way round.
Leather: Attaches at the lugs, so the case back rests on your skin. Thins and softens with wear. Typical figures, not this model’s own.
