Can anyone suggest a smartwatch with a face size smaller than 38mm? I’m not talking about just the screen size—I mean the whole watch face needs to be under 38mm.
I have small wrists and had a Fitbit Charge 5, but it stopped working. I’m not buying another Fitbit since Google has been making them worse over time. I’ve looked at Samsung, Polar, Garmin, Amazfit, Huawei, Xiaomi, and Google, but nothing seems to work. Apple Watches are out of the question since I don’t have an iPhone.
There just don’t seem to be any decent options for women with small wrists. Everything is way too big and uncomfortable. I can’t be the only one having this problem. Any advice or recommendations would really help. Thanks so much!

I’ve heard the Garmin Lily 2 is one of the smallest smartwatches. That’s the one I’m planning to get for my small wrists!
That’s one of the few smaller options, but I checked it out and it doesn’t measure skin temperature. I have an autoimmune condition, and I need a watch to track health data like that. It helps me figure out what makes my good and bad days better or worse, and I use it to catch signs of illness early. Even a cold takes me weeks to recover from. Just a heads-up—the Lily Active is bigger than the Lily 2.

The main difference between the Lily 2 and the Active model is GPS. If you don’t need GPS or you’re okay with using your phone for it, the Lily 2 should work fine.
I’m not sure how accurate the stress and HRV tracking would be for your autoimmune condition, but I’ve found that Garmin’s stress metrics, HRV, and resting heart rate are great for spotting when I’m about to get sick. It might help you too.
I also have tiny wrists (you can see my bones), and I got the Xiaomi Redmi Watch 3 (not the Active model). It fits well and doesn’t look oversized. I needed something that could make emergency calls because of a kneecap dislocation, and this one works for that.
The watch is a bit bigger than what you mentioned—42.58 x 36.56 x 9.99mm—but it has an OLED screen, lasts around 12 days on a charge, and is very customizable. I got it for about £60. Just make sure not to get the Active model since it’s bigger and doesn’t have the OLED screen. Maybe buy it from a store with a good return policy if you’re unsure, but I’ve been really happy with it!

I tried the Samsung Fit 3, which is about 40mm, and the edges stuck out over my wrist when it curved down. That made it uncomfortable, and the sensors didn’t sit right, so it wasn’t very useful. Thanks for the suggestion, though!
