40mm or 44mm?

Size is perfect, but being an Hermès model doesn’t hurt either.

Hurts only the wallet.

40 looks perfect. 44 makes it look like a fancy gadget and may not work everywhere

Tell me more about the watch. I have the 3 and might upgrade this year. Does it feel less chunkier?

It does for sure. Even though it’s also stainless steel it actually feels lighter.

I checked the tech specs on Apple and it seems the 38mm S.S Series 3 is 42.4grams while the 40mm Series 6 S.S is 39.7grams.

It’s a noticeable difference in weight and comfort.

2.7 grams is about the weight of 3 paper clips.

SS feels more like a real watch 😉

I rotate between three watches daily, and I can definitely feel the weight difference between my Aluminum (lightest), SS (middle), and Ceramic (heaviest) when I first put them on. But after a few minutes on, they all feel the same.

Sure, you can slap on a sport band, but the added weight and jewelry-like look of the SS just seemed at odds using it for fitness.

Plus the relatively inexpensive cost of the aluminium model makes it easier to swallow if you happen to get it dinged up.

Same. When I got my SS, I noticed it being heavier. But now I switch back and forth between my Nike and my SS gold without noticing a weight difference.

Alright my 40mm Hermès Apple Watch S.S arrived. It's amazing, the leather is soft and quality. The watch is light, beautiful watch faces as well. Lastly the main stand out is how fast the watch is, I can actually open apps on it and use it for more things than just telling time. In summary, the Series 3 I had before was too laggy and unresponsive to do anything more than just tell time. Meanwhile this Series 6 is fantastic.

That’s my take-away as well. Indistinguishable after a few minutes.
