Garmin Venu X1 vs Xiaomi Redmi Watch 5
Size, specs & wrist fit compared

Which one fits you
On wrists narrower than about 50mm, the Garmin Venu X1 is the safer pick — it stays proportionate down to roughly 48mm, where the Xiaomi Redmi Watch 5 starts to hang over the edge. Above 50mm both sit cleanly, and the Xiaomi Redmi Watch 5 gives you more presence.
The Garmin Venu X1 and Xiaomi Redmi Watch 5 share a near-identical 41mm case, so wrist presence comes down to thickness, lug-to-lug and weight.
The Garmin Venu X1 is the slimmer of the two (7.9mm vs 11.3mm), so it slides under a cuff more easily.
The Garmin Venu X1 is thinner than 100% of the 375 41mm watches we hold thickness for, the Xiaomi Redmi Watch 5 than 71% — so both wear flatter than their widths suggest.
The Xiaomi Redmi Watch 5 is 0.1mm wider, 1.5mm longer, 3.4mm thicker and 0.5g lighter than the Garmin Venu X1. Both are rectangle.

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.

Case 46.0mm · Lug-to-lug 46.0mm · Thickness 7.9mm · 34g
Balanced Fit
46mm 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 46mm, 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.

- Across the wrist4.5mm spare each side
Comfortable, with visible skin either side.
- Off the wrist7.9mm off the skin
Sits low enough to disappear under a cuff. (7.9mm case, back against the skin)
- How it seats~5.6mm under the rim
Seats well, with the case back following most of the wrist.
- Weight on the wrist34g
Light enough to forget you have it on. (0.6g per mm of wrist)
Xiaomi Redmi Watch 5
Case 47.5mm · Lug-to-lug 47.5mm · Thickness 11.3mm · 34g
Sweet Spot
47.5mm on a 55mm wrist
Across the wrist it works — 3.8mm spare each side — but wide enough that the edge of the case back lifts clear of the skin.
