Which one fits you
On wrists narrower than about 44mm, the Amazfit Active is the safer pick — it stays proportionate down to roughly 38mm, where the Garmin Epix Pro Gen 2 42mm starts to hang over the edge. Above 44mm both sit cleanly, and the Garmin Epix Pro Gen 2 42mm gives you more presence.
The Amazfit Active and Garmin Epix Pro Gen 2 42mm share a near-identical 42.36mm case, so wrist presence comes down to thickness, lug-to-lug and weight.
The Amazfit Active is the slimmer of the two (10.75mm vs 14.1mm), so it slides under a cuff more easily.
On the wrist the Amazfit Active feels lighter (27g vs 63g, case only).
Among the 723 42mm watches we hold thickness for, the Amazfit Active is thinner than 87%, so it wears flatter than its width suggests.
Among the 661 42mm watches we hold thickness for, the Garmin Epix Pro Gen 2 42mm is thicker than 80% — it will sit high even though the case width reads modest.
The Amazfit Active is 0.4mm wider, 6.1mm shorter, 3.3mm thinner and 36g lighter than the Garmin Epix Pro Gen 2 42mm.
