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 wears larger than the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 - LTE · 44mm (46mm vs 43.7mm case), giving it more wrist presence — and needing a wider wrist to sit cleanly.
The Samsung Galaxy Watch8 - LTE · 44mm is the slimmer of the two (8.6mm vs 10.6mm), so it slides under a cuff more easily.
Among the 211 46mm watches we hold thickness for, the Amazfit Balance is thinner than 98%, so it wears flatter than its width suggests.
Among the 303 44mm watches we hold thickness for, the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 - LTE · 44mm is thinner than 99%, so it wears flatter than its width suggests.
