It’s the other way around mate and only women wear space grey watches.Males 44, Woman's 40
The 5+ year debate goes on
For me, a few people here have hit the nail on the head where they’ve said that if you want to use your watch as an everyday gadget, the bigger watch is the way to go.
It has more space to display UI elements, bigger touch targets etc.
Whereas, if you want to use it primarily as a smart fitness watch, then the 40 inch case is probably more proportional & subtle for most.
However, even for regular date/time/moveable bezel mechanical dive watches, 44-46mm is pretty normal nowadays.
I would say that large watches have become more common, for two simple reasons:
That most people want to show off their possession.
And a larger watch face just looks better (although context is everything: a large watch face might look OTT on some people’s wrists).
They don’t need to be that large: the Rolex Submariner that Sean Connery wore in Dr No had a 36mm case.
So as always, there really is no wrong or right answer, there’s just a variety of factors - except I don’t think it’s helpful to say that the 40mm version is the one for women!
My wrist isn't too large. It's 6 3/4. I need to have a band that you can put in the correct hole for wrist size. The magnetic kind, I have always, kept loosening up, if your in any kind of movement activity. I have a good leather band that works extremly well. The smaller size would have been better, it is good for seeing, the 44.Now that the case sizes AND screen sized have changed, I think it may be time for me to downsize to the 40mm. I have the 42mm now and it's just slightly too large on my wrist, so the 40mm could be perfect. I also would be getting a bigger screen size even with the smaller case. See here:

Still not sure though and curious to know what others think about the new sizes.
Looks good. I have a Milanese. If I'm moving my arm around in a atletic activity it will loosen up, all you have to do is wash the milanese off and your good to go.Wirst about 17,5 cm
S4 40mm, steel with milanese band.
Looks ok?

Thats a personal coice. My small 17 cm wrist, does ok with the 44 mm, but it's rather large on my wrist.I want to buy an Apple Watch but i want to know what size you recommend? My wrist size is 19 centimeters
What’s your wrist size ?View attachment 805434 I went to the Apple Store today to try the sizes/colours etc. I didn't notice that much difference between the two sizes on my wrist tbh. I've attached photos I'd really appreciate a second opinion![]()
