Size, specs & wrist fit compared

Which one fits you
On wrists narrower than about 48mm, the GTR Mini is the safer pick — it stays proportionate down to roughly 45mm, where the Balance starts to hang over the edge. Above 48mm both sit cleanly, and the Balance gives you more presence.
The Balance wears larger than the GTR Mini (46mm vs 42.8mm case), giving it more wrist presence — and needing a wider wrist to sit cleanly.
The GTR Mini is the slimmer of the two (9.25mm vs 10.6mm), so it slides under a cuff more easily.
The Balance is thinner than 98% of the 46mm watches we track and the GTR Mini than 99% of the 43mm ones — so both wear flatter than their widths suggest.
The Balance is 3.2mm wider, 3.2mm longer, 1.3mm thicker and 1.2g lighter than the GTR Mini. Both are circular.
