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 Google Pixel Watch 3 41mm wears larger than the Garmin Vivomove Trend (41mm vs 40.4mm case), giving it more wrist presence — and needing a wider wrist to sit cleanly.
On the wrist the Garmin Vivomove Trend feels lighter (28.3g vs 31g, case only).
Among the 509 40mm watches we hold thickness for, the Garmin Vivomove Trend is thicker than 82% — it will sit high even though the case width reads modest.
The Google Pixel Watch 3 41mm is middle-of-the-pack for thickness among the 375 41mm watches in the database.
The Google Pixel Watch 3 41mm is 0.6mm wider, 0.6mm longer, 0.4mm thicker and 2.7g heavier than the Garmin Vivomove Trend. 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.

Case 40.4mm · Lug-to-lug 40.4mm · Thickness 11.9mm · 28g
Balanced Fit
40.4mm 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 40.4mm, 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.
