Which one fits you
Both need much the same wrist — roughly 49–67mm across the flat of the wrist. Neither will fit where the other won't, so decide on thickness, weight and features instead.
The Huawei Watch 5 - 46mm and Samsung Galaxy Watch8 LTE Classic share a near-identical 46mm 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.
The Huawei Watch 5 - 46mm is thinner than 83% of the 211 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 0.4mm wider, 0.3mm shorter, 0.7mm thinner and 0.5g heavier than the Huawei Watch 5 - 46mm. Both are circular.
