I wanted to keep you updated. While I appreciate all the input with the vast majority voting for the 45 I ultimately went with the 41mm. It was around 130 € cheaoer for me and it just felt more comfortable at the wrist while doing sports and while sleeping. If I want it to look bigger sometimes I can still add a case around it. When you don’t use the two sizes side by side there really is not much of a difference in terms of functionality and usability. I hope this helps someone else making a decision. Thanks again to everybody for the input. :)

Good for you. It's always great to have choices and the AW is about what's comfortable for the one who wears it. As I mentioned in my prior post here, I traded my two 41's for 45's. Last week I traded my third S7 41 starlight for an S8 45 silver. That is my sleeping watch as the 45 is just as comfortable sleeping as the smaller watches I've owned.

I am fortunate that my buying decisions don't have to be based on cost. Considering what I've purchased from Apple since 2016 I should get a personal "thank you" from Tim. Ha!

Thanks for this thread. I found it very interesting and helpful as I was making Apple even richer while going through the process of trading my three AW's for the 45 size. 😆
