Size, specs & wrist fit compared

Which one fits you
On wrists narrower than about 47mm, the Amazfit GTR Mini is the safer pick — it stays proportionate down to roughly 45mm, where the Garmin Venu 3 starts to hang over the edge. Above 47mm both sit cleanly, and the Garmin Venu 3 gives you more presence.
The Garmin Venu 3 wears larger than the Amazfit GTR Mini (45mm vs 42.8mm case), giving it more wrist presence — and needing a wider wrist to sit cleanly.
The Amazfit GTR Mini is the slimmer of the two (9.25mm vs 12mm), so it slides under a cuff more easily.
On the wrist the Amazfit GTR Mini feels lighter (36.2g vs 47g, case only).
The Amazfit GTR Mini is thinner than 99% of the 43mm watches we track and the Garmin Venu 3 than 76% of the 45mm ones — so both wear flatter than their widths suggest.
The Garmin Venu 3 is 2.2mm wider, 2.2mm longer, 2.8mm thicker and 10.8g heavier than the Amazfit GTR Mini. Both are circular.
