Balance 2
Garmin
Approach® S70 - 47 mm
Which one fits you
Both need much the same wrist — roughly 49–68mm across the flat of the wrist. Neither will fit where the other won't, so decide on thickness, weight and features instead.
The Amazfit Balance 2 and Garmin Approach® S70 - 47 mm share a near-identical 47.4mm case, so wrist presence comes down to thickness, lug-to-lug and weight.
The Amazfit Balance 2 is the slimmer of the two (12.3mm vs 13.4mm), so it slides under a cuff more easily.
On the wrist the Amazfit Balance 2 feels lighter (43g vs 56g, case only).
Among the 83 47mm watches we hold thickness for, the Amazfit Balance 2 is thinner than 81%, so it wears flatter than its width suggests.
The Garmin Approach® S70 - 47 mm is middle-of-the-pack for thickness among the 98 47mm watches in the database.
