Size, specs & wrist fit compared

Which one fits you
Both need much the same wrist — roughly 47–65mm across the flat of the wrist. Neither will fit where the other won't, so decide on thickness, weight and features instead.
The Huawei Watch GT 5 wears larger than the Garmin Venu 3 (45.8mm vs 45mm case), giving it more wrist presence — and needing a wider wrist to sit cleanly.
The Huawei Watch GT 5 is the slimmer of the two (10.7mm vs 12mm), so it slides under a cuff more easily.
The Garmin Venu 3 is thinner than 76% of the 45mm watches we track and the Huawei Watch GT 5 than 97% of the 46mm ones — so both wear flatter than their widths suggest.
The Huawei Watch GT 5 is 0.8mm wider, 0.8mm longer, 1.3mm thinner and 1g heavier than the Garmin Venu 3. Both are circular.
