Thank you
To those that come before me, and created spreadsheets, posted helpful info and insight, etc., I say "Thanks!".
For those of you that are still waiting, I wish you luck!
I received my watch yesterday. I had not been to an Apple Store (several hours away from any) to try one on, and was concerned that it would be too big. Damn, I am glad I got the 42. The 38 would be tiny. I almost wish this one was a tad bit larger imho. As for the watch, I really like it, but do see so far I would like a bit more functionality out of it. More Siri use (instead of wanting to handoff many searches), more app functionality (that will come from the app developers I am sure.....because so far? Mehhh), and so on. The fit is good, not too heavy, but not "cheap" light either. I am really pleased with my band/color/model choice. I would have rather had the SS SG Watch....but damn...what $$$$. I really do not see the current (yes, it could change with updates, etc.) AWs REALLY being worth that much cash, but to each their own, and to their own perceptions of need/value/want.
Good luck everyone!
