Instinct 3 Solar Tactical Edition 45mm
Which one fits you
Both need much the same wrist — roughly 47–66mm across the flat of the wrist. Neither will fit where the other won't, so decide on thickness, weight and features instead.
The Amazfit GTR 4 Limited Edition wears larger than the Garmin Instinct 3 Solar Tactical Edition 45mm (46mm vs 45mm case), giving it more wrist presence — and needing a wider wrist to sit cleanly.
The Amazfit GTR 4 Limited Edition is the slimmer of the two (11.2mm vs 14.9mm), so it slides under a cuff more easily.
On the wrist the Amazfit GTR 4 Limited Edition feels lighter (49g vs 52g, case only).
Among the 211 46mm watches we hold thickness for, the Amazfit GTR 4 Limited Edition is thinner than 84%, so it wears flatter than its width suggests.
Among the 386 45mm watches we hold thickness for, the Garmin Instinct 3 Solar Tactical Edition 45mm is thicker than 83% — it will sit high even though the case width reads modest.
