Is the Garmin vívosmart® 5 thick for a 20mm watch?

At 217mm, thicker than 96% of 20mm watches — it will sit noticeably high on the wrist. Thickness, not case width, is what decides whether a watch catches on a shirt cuff.

What other watches are the same size as the Garmin vívosmart® 5?

What is the lug-to-lug of the Garmin vívosmart® 5?

10.7mm, against a 19.5mm case width. Lug-to-lug is the measurement that decides overhang: if it exceeds the flat width of your wrist, the lugs sit past the edge no matter how modest the case diameter looks.
