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 Amazfit Balance and Amazfit Stratos Plus share a near-identical 46mm case, so wrist presence comes down to thickness, lug-to-lug and weight.
The Amazfit Balance is the slimmer of the two (10.6mm vs 12.7mm), so it slides under a cuff more easily.
On the wrist the Amazfit Balance feels lighter (35g vs 60g, case only).
Among the 211 46mm watches we hold thickness for, the Amazfit Balance is thinner than 98%, so it wears flatter than its width suggests.
The Amazfit Stratos Plus is middle-of-the-pack for thickness among the 209 46mm watches in the database.
