Size, specs & wrist fit compared

Which one fits you
On wrists narrower than about 48mm, the Amazfit Active is the safer pick — it stays proportionate down to roughly 38mm, where the Garmin Venu X1 starts to hang over the edge. Above 48mm both sit cleanly, and the Garmin Venu X1 gives you more presence.
The Amazfit Active wears larger than the Garmin Venu X1 (42.36mm vs 41mm case), giving it more wrist presence — and needing a wider wrist to sit cleanly.
The Garmin Venu X1 is the slimmer of the two (7.9mm vs 10.75mm), so it slides under a cuff more easily.
On the wrist the Amazfit Active feels lighter (27g vs 34g, case only).
The Amazfit Active is thinner than 87% of the 42mm watches we track and the Garmin Venu X1 than 100% of the 41mm ones — so both wear flatter than their widths suggest.
The Amazfit Active is 1.4mm wider, 10.1mm shorter, 2.8mm thicker and 7g lighter than the Garmin Venu X1. Both are rectangle.
