Here's the 42mm on my 160-165mm wrist. Top to bottom, my wrist measures 55mm and the fit was fine. I think the photo makes the watch look a little too big, but in real life it felt just right. 38mm would have been too small for my tastes.

Thank you. Out of curiosity, do you have any pictures with the 38mm?

Around 160mm wrist size. Stainless Steel Milanese. 42mm






Was originally going to get the 38mm but seeing as how I really liked how the 42mm felt, I'm going with that one. May 13th - May 27th delivery window.

My wrist is between 170mm-175mm and this is the 42mm Space Grey Sport.

It was very lightweight and really comfortable. The material of the sport band basically has the same soft touch feel that the silicone iPhone 6/6+ cases have.

Here's me and my wife trying on the Sports watch.

My wife : 150mm wrists, 38mm white sports watch
Me : 175mm wrists, 42mm space grey sports watch

I 100% agree with the comments that the photos generally make these watches look much bigger than hey look and feel in real life.

I also tried on the SS w/ leather loop which was very nice, but not another £250 nice, at least not for something I've never used before and is 1st gen. The Milanese Loop was weird - I found it quite feminine - very thin and materially in feel. The SS model is also noticeably heavier than sports.

Let's see your wrist with watch size on

38mm, 165 wrist. Ordered the classic buckle so I can get it 4.24, and ordered the SS band separate.

This is just a general statement, but IMO the 38 seems much smaller than what seen in photos on web. As stated it fit my 12 yr old wrist well, but on my wrist it just felt small. I am 5,7 about 190 lbs. Not sure of my wrist size.

As for the 42mm it actually felt different (smaller/larger) depending on the band tried on. With the Malinese band the 42 seemed small on my wrist. With the link bracelet it actually felt and looked larger.

Looks good! On the other hand, I do feel in a minority for only feeling comfortable wearing my watch on the right!

Could you measure the top part of your wrist (where the watch actually sits)? I have a similar build to you.

I think both look good ;)

Hi wbitsky, not sure of the actual measurement but it's the same width as a credit card.

This is 42mm SG on my 160mm wrist, probably as hairy as any human wrist can be.

And yes, I was wearing it wrong.

Female, 155mm wrist. I preordered both sizes but chose the 38 blue sport in the end (and later cancelled the 42) Straps werent snug btw, but watches flat to wrist.
