Amazfit GTR Mini vs Garmin Fenix 8 43mm AMOLED
Size, specs & wrist fit compared

Which one fits you
Both need much the same wrist — roughly 45–61mm 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 Mini and Garmin Fenix 8 43mm AMOLED share a near-identical 42.8mm case, so wrist presence comes down to thickness, lug-to-lug and weight.
The Amazfit GTR Mini is the slimmer of the two (9.25mm vs 13.8mm), so it slides under a cuff more easily.
On the wrist the Amazfit GTR Mini feels lighter (36.2g vs 66g, case only).
Among the 321 43mm watches we hold thickness for, the Amazfit GTR Mini is thinner than 99%, so it wears flatter than its width suggests.
Among the 318 43mm watches we hold thickness for, the Garmin Fenix 8 43mm AMOLED is thicker than 70% — it will sit high even though the case width reads modest.
The Garmin Fenix 8 43mm AMOLED is 0.2mm wider, 0.2mm longer, 4.6mm thicker and 29.8g heavier than the Amazfit GTR Mini. Both are circular.

Watch Fit Tool
For sports watches, lug-to-lug (L2L) is what matters most — it decides whether a watch overhangs your wrist. Bulky is fine; overhang is not.
Measure at the point where you wear your watch — typically just below the wrist bone.
Flat width — lay your arm on a table, palm facing up, and measure straight across the top of your wrist with a ruler. Bone to bone; do not follow the curve down the sides.
Around — wrap a tape measure snugly round the wrist. No tape? Wrap a strip of paper, mark the overlap and hold the strip against a ruler.
Width ≠ circumference. They are different numbers — around 170mm is about 64mm across — so set the toggle to whichever one you actually measured before you type it in.

Case 42.8mm · Lug-to-lug 42.8mm · Thickness 9.3mm · 36g
Balanced Fit
42.8mm on a 55mm wrist
Comfortably inside the edges of your wrist, and it seats and sits low enough to wear without thinking about it.
On a 55mm wrist the sweet spot is 47–53mm lug to lug. This one is 42.8mm, so you could go bigger.
Measure where you wear it, just below the wrist bone. Either of these works — the tool converts between them.
- 1. Flat width — arm flat on a table, palm up. Measure straight across the top of the wrist, bone to bone, ignoring the curve down the sides.
- 2. Around — a tape, or a strip of paper marked and held against a ruler, snug the whole way round.
Leather: Attaches at the lugs, so the case back rests on your skin. Thins and softens with wear. Typical figures, not this model’s own.

- Across the wrist6.1mm spare each side
Comfortable, with visible skin either side.
- Off the wrist9.3mm off the skin
Sits low enough to disappear under a cuff. (9.3mm case, back against the skin)
- How it seats~4.3mm under the rim
Seats well, with the case back following most of the wrist.
- Weight on the wrist36g
Light enough to forget you have it on. (0.7g per mm of wrist)

43mm on a 55mm wrist
Across the wrist it works — 6.0mm spare each side — but a tall watch on this wrist. Fine over a sleeve, awkward under one.
