Garmin
Approach® S50
Which one fits you
On wrists narrower than about 49mm, the Garmin Approach® S50 is the safer pick — it stays proportionate down to roughly 45mm, where the Amazfit Bip 6 starts to hang over the edge. Above 49mm both sit cleanly, and the Amazfit Bip 6 gives you more presence.
The Garmin Approach® S50 wears larger than the Amazfit Bip 6 (43mm vs 40.2mm case), giving it more wrist presence — and needing a wider wrist to sit cleanly.
The Amazfit Bip 6 is the slimmer of the two (10.45mm vs 11.4mm), so it slides under a cuff more easily.
The Amazfit Bip 6 is middle-of-the-pack for thickness among the 530 40mm watches in the database.
Among the 312 43mm watches we hold thickness for, the Garmin Approach® S50 is thinner than 87%, so it wears flatter than its width suggests.
