Amazfit Balance vs Pop 3R
Size, specs & wrist fit compared
Which one fits you
Both need much the same wrist: neither overhangs from 16.5 cm (6.5 in) round, and both are in their sweet spot around 17–19.5 cm. Wrist size will not decide between these two.
What else differs
- Screen: the Balance has the larger screen, 1.5 in across against 1.43 in on the Pop 3R.
- Battery: 14 days for the Balance against 12 days for the Pop 3R in everyday use.
- Only the Balance has contactless payments (NFC).
Among the 85 smartwatches 46mm across that we hold thickness for, the Balance is thinner than 98%, so it wears flatter than its width suggests.
The Balance is 0.5mm wider, 0.2mm thinner and 20.5g lighter than the Pop 3R.
