Which one fits you
On wrists narrower than about 51mm, the Apple Watch Series 9 - 45mm is the safer pick — it stays proportionate down to roughly 47mm, where the Huawei Watch D2 starts to hang over the edge. Above 51mm both sit cleanly, and the Huawei Watch D2 gives you more presence.
The Apple Watch Series 9 - 45mm and Huawei Watch D2 share a near-identical 38mm case, so wrist presence comes down to thickness, lug-to-lug and weight.
The Apple Watch Series 9 - 45mm is the slimmer of the two (10.7mm vs 13.3mm), so it slides under a cuff more easily.
The Apple Watch Series 9 - 45mm is middle-of-the-pack for thickness among the 356 38mm watches in the database.
Among the 356 38mm watches we hold thickness for, the Huawei Watch D2 is thicker than 90% — it will sit high even though the case width reads modest.
