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 Watch 5 and Watch S3 eSIM share a near-identical 47mm case, so wrist presence comes down to thickness, lug-to-lug and weight.
On the wrist the Watch S3 eSIM feels lighter (44g vs 56g, case only).
The Watch 5 is middle-of-the-pack for thickness among the 91 47mm watches in the database.
Among the 91 47mm watches we hold thickness for, the Watch S3 eSIM is thinner than 74%, so it wears flatter than its width suggests.
The Watch 5 is 0.3mm thicker and 12g heavier than the Watch S3 eSIM. Both are circular.
