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 Xiaomi Watch 5 share a near-identical 47.4mm case, so wrist presence comes down to thickness, lug-to-lug and weight.
On the wrist the Amazfit Balance 2 feels lighter (43g vs 56g, case only).
Among the 76 47mm watches we hold thickness for, the Amazfit Balance 2 is thinner than 79%, so it wears flatter than its width suggests.
The Xiaomi Watch 5 is middle-of-the-pack for thickness among the 91 47mm watches in the database.
The Amazfit Balance 2 is 0.4mm wider, 0.4mm longer and 13g lighter than the Xiaomi Watch 5. Both are circular.
