Which one fits you
Both need much the same wrist — roughly 43–58mm across the flat of the wrist. Neither will fit where the other won't, so decide on thickness, weight and features instead.
The Garmin Vivomove Trend wears larger than the Samsung Galaxy Watch FE - Bluetooth · 40mm (40.4mm vs 39.3mm case), giving it more wrist presence — and needing a wider wrist to sit cleanly.
The Samsung Galaxy Watch FE - Bluetooth · 40mm is the slimmer of the two (9.8mm vs 11.9mm), so it slides under a cuff more easily.
On the wrist the Samsung Galaxy Watch FE - Bluetooth · 40mm feels lighter (26.6g vs 43.3g, case only).
Among the 508 40mm watches we hold thickness for, the Garmin Vivomove Trend is thicker than 81% — it will sit high even though the case width reads modest.
Among the 405 39mm watches we hold thickness for, the Samsung Galaxy Watch FE - Bluetooth · 40mm is thinner than 73%, so it wears flatter than its width suggests.
The Garmin Vivomove Trend is 1.1mm wider, 2.1mm thicker and 16.7g heavier than the Samsung Galaxy Watch FE - Bluetooth · 40mm. Both are circular.
