Which one fits you
On wrists narrower than about 50mm, the Apple Watch Series 11 GPS Aluminium 46mm is the safer pick — it stays proportionate down to roughly 48mm, where the Xiaomi Redmi Watch 4 starts to hang over the edge. Above 50mm both sit cleanly, and the Xiaomi Redmi Watch 4 gives you more presence.
The Xiaomi Redmi Watch 4 wears larger than the Apple Watch Series 11 GPS Aluminium 46mm (41.1mm vs 39mm case), giving it more wrist presence — and needing a wider wrist to sit cleanly.
The Apple Watch Series 11 GPS Aluminium 46mm is the slimmer of the two (9.7mm vs 10.5mm), so it slides under a cuff more easily.
On the wrist the Xiaomi Redmi Watch 4 feels lighter (31.5g vs 37.8g, case only).
The Apple Watch Series 11 GPS Aluminium 46mm is thinner than 83% of the 39mm watches we track and the Xiaomi Redmi Watch 4 than 86% of the 41mm ones — so both wear flatter than their widths suggest.
The Xiaomi Redmi Watch 4 is 2.1mm wider, 1.6mm longer, 0.8mm thicker and 6.3g lighter than the Apple Watch Series 11 GPS Aluminium 46mm. Both are rectangle.

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.

Balanced Fit
46mm 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 46mm, 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.

Sweet Spot
47.6mm on a 55mm wrist
