Size, specs & wrist fit compared

Which one fits you
Both need much the same wrist — roughly 48–66mm across the flat of the wrist. Neither will fit where the other won't, so decide on thickness, weight and features instead.
The Balance wears larger than the Bip 5 (46mm vs 38mm case), giving it more wrist presence — and needing a wider wrist to sit cleanly.
The Balance is the slimmer of the two (10.6mm vs 11.2mm), so it slides under a cuff more easily.
On the wrist the Bip 5 feels lighter (26g vs 35g, case only).
Among the 211 46mm watches we hold thickness for, the Balance is thinner than 98%, so it wears flatter than its width suggests.
The Bip 5 is middle-of-the-pack for thickness among the 356 38mm watches in the database.
The Balance is 8mm wider, 0.1mm longer, 0.6mm thinner and 9g heavier than the Bip 5.
