Just FYI, the Apple Store App has life size 38mm/42mm faces for you to hold up to your wrist. I'm going 42mm!
 
There's a 'compare case size' link when you select a collection. 38mm is smaller than I imagined....
 
I'm going with 38mm, really skinny wrists. I don't think I would look good with 42mm. Plus, I like the modern buckle in black.
 
I have very skinny wrists too, in fact one of the reasons I wear a watch is to try and hide them. The 42mm is only slightly wider than my current pebble and the same height. so I'll probably go 42mm...
 
The thing about smart watches is that the screen takes up much of the visual real estate of the watch, making it look larger than the dimensions. My 39mm Omega is similar, because the bezel is thin, so the watch wears a little larger than 39mm.

I think the 38mm Watch won't scream smart watch as much as the 42mm version, which is a little closer in size to other smart watches on the market.
 
this is still my go to pic for how the 38mm looks.
