Which one fits you
On wrists narrower than about 52mm, the Garmin Vivomove Trend is the safer pick — it stays proportionate down to roughly 43mm, where the Xiaomi Redmi Watch 5 Active starts to hang over the edge. Above 52mm both sit cleanly, and the Xiaomi Redmi Watch 5 Active gives you more presence.
The Garmin Vivomove Trend and Xiaomi Redmi Watch 5 Active share a near-identical 40.4mm case, so wrist presence comes down to thickness, lug-to-lug and weight.
The Xiaomi Redmi Watch 5 Active is the slimmer of the two (11.4mm vs 11.9mm), so it slides under a cuff more easily.
The Garmin Vivomove Trend is thicker than 81% of the 508 40mm watches we hold thickness for, the Xiaomi Redmi Watch 5 Active than 74% — so both sit higher than their widths suggest.
The Garmin Vivomove Trend is 8.7mm shorter, 0.5mm thicker and 1.1g heavier than the Xiaomi Redmi Watch 5 Active.
