Which one fits you
On wrists narrower than about 48mm, the Garmin Vivoactive 6 is the safer pick — it stays proportionate down to roughly 44mm, where the Amazfit Bip 5 starts to hang over the edge. Above 48mm both sit cleanly, and the Amazfit Bip 5 gives you more presence.
The Garmin Vivoactive 6 wears larger than the Amazfit Bip 5 (42.2mm vs 38mm case), giving it more wrist presence — and needing a wider wrist to sit cleanly.
On the wrist the Amazfit Bip 5 feels lighter (26g vs 36g, case only).
The Amazfit Bip 5 is middle-of-the-pack for thickness among the 356 38mm watches in the database.
Among the 697 42mm watches we hold thickness for, the Garmin Vivoactive 6 is thinner than 84%, so it wears flatter than its width suggests.
