Size, specs & wrist fit compared

Which one fits you
Both need much the same wrist — roughly 43–59mm across the flat of the wrist. Neither will fit where the other won't, so decide on thickness, weight and features instead.
The Garmin Venu 3S and Huawei Watch GT 6 41mm share a near-identical 41mm case, so wrist presence comes down to thickness, lug-to-lug and weight.
The Huawei Watch GT 6 41mm is the slimmer of the two (10mm vs 12mm), so it slides under a cuff more easily.
On the wrist the Garmin Venu 3S feels lighter (27g vs 37.5g, case only).
The Garmin Venu 3S is middle-of-the-pack for thickness among the 375 41mm watches in the database.
Among the 375 41mm watches we hold thickness for, the Huawei Watch GT 6 41mm is thinner than 92%, so it wears flatter than its width suggests.
The Huawei Watch GT 6 41mm is 0.3mm wider, 0.3mm longer, 2mm thinner and 10.5g heavier than the Garmin Venu 3S. Both are circular.

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.
Garmin Venu® 3S
Case 41.0mm · Lug-to-lug 41.0mm · Thickness 12.0mm · 27g
Balanced Fit
41mm 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 41mm, 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.
