Everybody is different in dimensions and preference. You have to go try them. Sorry it's not the answer you want, but it's the reality. You can go read a million reviews and then think it sucks or you might find one with worse reviews that works for you better. I've had both happen, so I won't make a recommendation other than to say, go visit the local dealer and spend 30 minutes in each chair, then pick.
I know the Gesture is widely loved, but I returned mine for an Embody. IMO, Gesture build quality does not feel like a $1K chair ā€” and the arm rests do not lock. So, every time I sat in the chair, I had to readjust the arm rests. Drove me crazy. Definitely a YMMV type of thing, as most people may not notice or care.
It's very difficult to move the arms accidentally. No idea what you're on about.

I sit anywhere from 8 to 14 hours a day, because I work and game at my desk. I love the Embody, and I can't recommend it enough. If you have access to a Herman Miller showroom, it's definitely worth a trip to test it out.

I have remanufactued Steelcase Leap from Crandall and I think remanufactured from them is an even better deal than the returns.

I have a top of the line Haworth that has no arms and honestly it's the best thing ever. Arms really get in the way when you are sitting at your desk.

I got an embody the other day. I'm 6'6 340lbs. Very broad shoulders, large frame. I'm too big for the embody, I wanted to like it so much... the seat is a little too narrow and short for me and the armrests dig into my side a bit. Backrest is too short too. The struggle is real.
