Which one fits you
On wrists narrower than about 50mm, the Garmin Venu 3S is the safer pick — it stays proportionate down to roughly 43mm, where the Amazfit Balance 2 starts to hang over the edge. Above 50mm both sit cleanly, and the Amazfit Balance 2 gives you more presence.
The Amazfit Balance 2 wears larger than the Garmin Venu 3S (47.4mm vs 41mm case), giving it more wrist presence — and needing a wider wrist to sit cleanly.
On the wrist the Garmin Venu 3S feels lighter (40g vs 43g, 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 Venu 3S is middle-of-the-pack for thickness among the 374 41mm watches in the database.
