Which one fits you
On wrists narrower than about 59mm, the Amazfit Active Edge is the safer pick — it stays proportionate down to roughly 49mm, where the Amazfit Ares starts to hang over the edge. Above 59mm both sit cleanly, and the Amazfit Ares gives you more presence.
The Amazfit Active Edge and Amazfit Ares share a near-identical 46.6mm case, so wrist presence comes down to thickness, lug-to-lug and weight.
The Amazfit Active Edge is the slimmer of the two (12mm vs 14mm), so it slides under a cuff more easily.
On the wrist the Amazfit Active Edge feels lighter (34g vs 48g, case only).
Among the 117 47mm watches we hold thickness for, the Amazfit Active Edge is thinner than 68%, so it wears flatter than its width suggests.
The Amazfit Ares is middle-of-the-pack for thickness among the 149 47mm watches in the database.
