Size, specs & wrist fit compared

Which one fits you
On wrists narrower than about 45mm, the Active is the safer pick — it stays proportionate down to roughly 38mm, where the GTR Mini starts to hang over the edge. Above 45mm both sit cleanly, and the GTR Mini gives you more presence.
The Active and GTR Mini share a near-identical 42.36mm case, so wrist presence comes down to thickness, lug-to-lug and weight.
The GTR Mini is the slimmer of the two (9.25mm vs 10.75mm), so it slides under a cuff more easily.
On the wrist the Active feels lighter (27g vs 36.2g, case only).
The Active is thinner than 87% of the 42mm watches we track and the GTR Mini than 99% of the 43mm ones — so both wear flatter than their widths suggest.
The GTR Mini is 0.4mm wider, 6.9mm longer, 1.5mm thinner and 9.2g heavier than the Active.

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 35.9mm · Lug-to-lug 35.9mm · Thickness 10.8mm · 27g
Understated
35.9mm on a 55mm wrist
Well inside your wrist on every measurement — you have room to go a size up if you want more presence.
On a 55mm wrist the sweet spot is 47–53mm lug to lug. This one is 35.9mm, 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.

Balanced Fit
42.8mm on a 55mm wrist
Comfortably inside the edges of your wrist, and it seats and sits low enough to wear without thinking about it.
