Which one fits you
Both need much the same wrist — roughly 48–67mm across the flat of the wrist. Neither will fit where the other won't, so decide on thickness, weight and features instead.
The Watch 5 46mm and Watch GT 5 share a near-identical 46mm case, so wrist presence comes down to thickness, lug-to-lug and weight.
The Watch GT 5 is the slimmer of the two (10.7mm vs 11.3mm), so it slides under a cuff more easily.
On the wrist the Watch GT 5 feels lighter (48g vs 63g, case only).
The Watch 5 46mm is thinner than 83% of the 211 46mm watches we hold thickness for, the Watch GT 5 than 97% — so both wear flatter than their widths suggest.
The Watch 5 46mm is 0.2mm wider, 0.9mm longer, 0.6mm thicker and 15g heavier than the Watch GT 5. 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.
Huawei Watch 5 - 46mm
Case 46.0mm · Lug-to-lug 46.7mm · Thickness 11.3mm · 63g
Balanced Fit
46.7mm 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 46.7mm, 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.
