Which one fits you
Both need much the same wrist — roughly 49–68mm across the flat of the wrist. Neither will fit where the other won't, so decide on thickness, weight and features instead.
The Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra and Xiaomi Watch S3 eSIM share a near-identical 47.4mm case, so wrist presence comes down to thickness, lug-to-lug and weight.
On the wrist the Xiaomi Watch S3 eSIM feels lighter (44g vs 60.5g, case only).
The Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra is thinner than 86% of the 76 47mm watches we hold thickness for, the Xiaomi Watch S3 eSIM than 74% — so both wear flatter than their widths suggest.
The Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra is 0.4mm wider, 0.4mm longer, 0.1mm thicker and 16.5g heavier than the Xiaomi Watch S3 eSIM. Both are circular.
