Which one fits you

Both need much the same wrist — roughly 49–67mm across the flat of the wrist. Neither will fit where the other won't, so decide on thickness, weight and features instead.

The Garmin Fenix E 47mm AMOLED and Xiaomi Watch S3 share a near-identical 47mm case, so wrist presence comes down to thickness, lug-to-lug and weight.

The Xiaomi Watch S3 is the slimmer of the two (12mm vs 14.5mm), so it slides under a cuff more easily.

On the wrist the Xiaomi Watch S3 feels lighter (44g vs 76g, case only).

Among the 102 47mm watches we hold thickness for, the Garmin Fenix E 47mm AMOLED is thicker than 66% — it will sit high even though the case width reads modest.

Among the 102 47mm watches we hold thickness for, the Xiaomi Watch S3 is thinner than 76%, so it wears flatter than its width suggests.

The Garmin Fenix E 47mm AMOLED is 2.5mm thicker and 32g heavier than the Xiaomi Watch S3. Both are circular.

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.

Sweet Spot

47mm on a 55mm wrist

10:09TUE 12lug to lug 47.0mmyour wrist 55.0mm

Across the wrist it works — 4.0mm spare each side — but a tall watch on this wrist. Fine over a sleeve, awkward under one.

On a 55mm wrist the sweet spot is 47–53mm lug to lug. This one is 47mm.

How to Measure

Measure where you wear it, just below the wrist bone. Either of these works — the tool converts between them.

  1. 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. 2. Around — a tape, or a strip of paper marked and held against a ruler, snug the whole way round.
