Which one fits you
Both need much the same wrist — roughly 43–60mm across the flat of the wrist. Neither will fit where the other won't, so decide on thickness, weight and features instead.
The Garmin Vivoactive 6 wears larger than the Huawei Watch GT 6 - 41mm (42.2mm vs 41.3mm case), giving it more wrist presence — and needing a wider wrist to sit cleanly.
The Huawei Watch GT 6 - 41mm is the slimmer of the two (10mm vs 10.9mm), so it slides under a cuff more easily.
The Garmin Vivoactive 6 is thinner than 84% of the 42mm watches we track and the Huawei Watch GT 6 - 41mm than 92% of the 41mm ones — so both wear flatter than their widths suggest.
The Garmin Vivoactive 6 is 0.9mm wider, 0.9mm longer, 0.9mm thicker and 1.5g lighter than the Huawei Watch GT 6 - 41mm. Both are circular.
