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 Amazfit Balance and Huawei Watch GT 5 share a near-identical 46mm case, so wrist presence comes down to thickness, lug-to-lug and weight.
On the wrist the Amazfit Balance feels lighter (35g vs 48g, case only).
The Amazfit Balance is thinner than 98% of the 211 46mm watches we hold thickness for, the Huawei Watch GT 5 than 97% — so both wear flatter than their widths suggest.
The Amazfit Balance is 0.2mm wider, 0.2mm longer, 0.1mm thinner and 13g lighter than the Huawei Watch GT 5. Both are circular.
