Which one fits you
Both need much the same wrist — roughly 49–66mm across the flat of the wrist. Neither will fit where the other won't, so decide on thickness, weight and features instead.
The Honor Watch 5 Pro Bluetooth and Samsung Galaxy Watch8 LTE Classic share a near-identical 46.3mm case, so wrist presence comes down to thickness, lug-to-lug and weight.
The Samsung Galaxy Watch8 LTE Classic is the slimmer of the two (10.6mm vs 11.3mm), so it slides under a cuff more easily.
On the wrist the Honor Watch 5 Pro Bluetooth feels lighter (51g vs 63.5g, case only).
The Honor Watch 5 Pro Bluetooth is thinner than 72% of the 162 46mm watches we hold thickness for, the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 LTE Classic than 97% — so both wear flatter than their widths suggest.
The Samsung Galaxy Watch8 LTE Classic is 0.1mm wider, 0.1mm longer, 0.7mm thinner and 12.5g heavier than the Honor Watch 5 Pro Bluetooth. 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.
Honor Watch 5 Pro - Bluetooth
Case 46.3mm · Lug-to-lug 46.3mm · Thickness 11.3mm · 51g
Balanced Fit
46.3mm 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 46.3mm, 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.
