Which one fits you
On wrists narrower than about 45mm, the Amazfit Active is the safer pick — it stays proportionate down to roughly 38mm, where the Huawei Watch GT 5 Pro 42 mm starts to hang over the edge. Above 45mm both sit cleanly, and the Huawei Watch GT 5 Pro 42 mm gives you more presence.
The Amazfit Active and Huawei Watch GT 5 Pro 42 mm share a near-identical 42.36mm case, so wrist presence comes down to thickness, lug-to-lug and weight.
The Huawei Watch GT 5 Pro 42 mm is the slimmer of the two (9.6mm vs 10.75mm), so it slides under a cuff more easily.
On the wrist the Amazfit Active feels lighter (27g vs 44g, case only).
The Amazfit Active is thinner than 87% of the 42mm watches we track and the Huawei Watch GT 5 Pro 42 mm than 92% of the 43mm ones — so both wear flatter than their widths suggest.
The Huawei Watch GT 5 Pro 42 mm is 0.1mm wider, 6.6mm longer, 1.2mm thinner and 17g heavier than the Amazfit Active.
