Size, specs & wrist fit compared

Which one fits you
On wrists narrower than about 48mm, the Active is the safer pick — it stays proportionate down to roughly 38mm, where the Bip 5 starts to hang over the edge. Above 48mm both sit cleanly, and the Bip 5 gives you more presence.
The Active wears larger than the Bip 5 (42.36mm vs 38mm case), giving it more wrist presence — and needing a wider wrist to sit cleanly.
Among the 720 42mm watches we hold thickness for, the Active is thinner than 87%, so it wears flatter than its width suggests.
The Bip 5 is middle-of-the-pack for thickness among the 356 38mm watches in the database.
The Active is 4.4mm wider, 10mm shorter, 0.4mm thinner and 1g heavier than the Bip 5. Both are rectangle.
