Size, specs & wrist fit compared

Which one fits you
Both need much the same wrist — roughly 44–61mm 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 wears larger than the Garmin Vivoactive 5 (42.8mm vs 42.2mm 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 11.1mm), so it slides under a cuff more easily.
The Amazfit GTR Mini is thinner than 99% of the 43mm watches we track and the Garmin Vivoactive 5 than 82% of the 42mm ones — so both wear flatter than their widths suggest.
The Amazfit GTR Mini is 0.6mm wider, 0.6mm longer, 1.8mm thinner and 0.2g heavier than the Garmin Vivoactive 5. Both are circular.
