Side-by-side comparison of specifications and features
Compare visual case presence and physical footprint on one shared wrist. Measure your top-down wrist width for a stronger result; lug-to-lug is used when the catalog has it.

Estimated top width: 56.7 mm
Preliminary range: 54.7–61.8 mm.

Proportional guide only: visual presence and physical footprint do not predict comfort. Weight, thickness, caseback shape, rigid lugs, strap stiffness, wrist-bone prominence, wearing tension, bezel design, and case curvature change how a watch actually wears.

Neither is clearly smaller: case width is 40mm vs 40mm and thickness 11.5mm vs 11.5mm. Pick on strap and looks instead — the size difference is not what will decide this for you.
They are rated the same, so water resistance will not decide this. Choose on strap material and how much you mind scratching the case.
On the specifications we hold they are near-identical. Choose on looks and current price — there is no functional reason to prefer one.
