Really, perfect fit and look. What's your wrist size?I didn’t have a ruler so I used a cable and the measuring app. About 165-167. Around there I think. I have skinny wristsWell, 40mm looks kind of.... perfect on you!
That's pretty much the identical size wrist and arm of me. The 40mm is great for me.
Given the fact that I had an S2 42mm and already have bands for that watch, I chose to get a 44mm. The extra 2mm is hardly noticeable and my 44mm fits perfectly.
I’m going to have to go to a store and try them on, but I’m used to wearing 38mm watches. I thought for sure I’d get the 44mm Apple Watch since I have around a 7” wrist size. But I think the 40mm will be more to my liking and what I’m used to. Looking to get one for Christmas.
That would be what I would recommend. I went 2-3 times to the store to try them on it was extremely hard for me to decide. Eventually I went with the 44. It is also for Christmas but we put my order in now because of the long wait for the stainless steel models.
Well I think the 40mm looks more elegant and more watch-like if you know what I mean ! The 44mm even though similiar to the 42 (it is still bigger) has a bigger display and when is on it just looks huge ! Personally I dont like that look !
I have the 38 currently and it's good size but the new 44 looks tinier and more slim so I think I may bite the bullet
Looks like a stylish and elegant accessory (i.e. watch). The 44mm version would look like big gadget on your wrist. The size difference between 40 and 44 mm versions is HUGE. I'm pretty sure the strap on 44mm watch will go straight down from the top of your wrist (and not around the wrist like it should be).
But, if you can go to the store and make photo of 44mm on your wrist then it would be much easier to advise.
Yep, I know. I was ment to say that bigger AW would look inapropriate like this:
The strap on 44mm goes traight down, you almost can't see the strap from above. This is the wrong way to wear the watch. It looks ridiculous.
Here is much better fit:
On this photo we can see the strap on both sides of the watch.
Yep, it does. Already tried that. Hardly any strap visible from above, just the watch face itself. Makes the Sport Band for example look a bit... strange.
I would definitely change the strap color to a black or a blue one (of course if you're not a girl with huge hairy hands

Sorry I forgot to shave
I will get the stone sport band.
After a fiting session I (well my wife decided ) that a 44mm looked better. I'm pretty tall myself (197cm) with small wrists (175mm). The 44mm just seemed right in comparrison with the 40mm, which looked more like a toy on my wrist.
It's not just the size of your wrists but also the length of your arms, size of your hands etc. etc. that determine the right size.

I have small wrists at around 167mm but I went for the 44 after trying both. My hands are big and my arms are long. My wrists are also wide. The 40 looked too small. And I wanted the bigger battery and display anyways.
UPS said it world be delivered Thursday but now they don't have an estimate anymore.
I’m worries that this may be a common trend. They just can’t make them fast enough.
You have some serious thin wrist, I mean even 40mm looks kind of big on your wrist.
I am using 44mm on 165mm wrist, 44 is hairline bigger than 42 but to be honest, it does look like a proper male watch, if I compare it with 40mm. In my opinion 40 looks like a female watch.
But then, people give those counter arguments that smaller watch looks more elegant premium and what not, they use rolex as a reference. But I think, we should limit our spectrum to smart watch and then see what suits us the best.
This is really a nice observation, we should really give weightage to our built, hand size arms and overall look rather just looking at the wrist size in isolation.After a fiting session I (well my wife decided

For me this was a no brainer! One of the reasons i sold the AW when it first came out was the 40mm was too small IMO of course. I had said i wouldn't get another AW unless they made it bigger. I currently wear a Hamilton Khaki X-Wind (44mm) and a Tag Heuer Calibre S Link (42mm) So i'm use to bigger size. Also with the AW being square instead of circular like a normal timepiece, that makes it look a little smaller also. So again the 44mm was my choice from the start.
