Garmin
D2™ Air X10 (010-02496-09)
Garmin
Vivoactive
The Garmin D2™ Air X10 and Garmin Vivoactive share a near-identical 43.6mm case, so wrist presence comes down to thickness, lug-to-lug and weight.
The Garmin Vivoactive is the slimmer of the two (8mm vs 12.6mm), so it slides under a cuff more easily.
On the wrist the Garmin Vivoactive feels lighter (38g vs 51g, case only).
