Another "38mm or 42mm" Thread

[uiop.]

Smaller, IMO.

I'm going with the smaller size. Though the 42mm is still smaller than say, the Moto 360, I still am not sure how I feel about wearing a smart watch. I want as much subtleness as possible.

All guys should get the 42mm - most importantly for the better screen resolution and slightly larger font size. It'll be much easier to read.

Not guys with a 155mm wrist like me

I hear you, but you're still a guy! You can get away with an oversized watch

Hahaha maybe, but I don't want to walk around looking like I have a block strapped to my wrist!

38 looks too small on you.

40 would be ideal for many.

Lol. I can't believe some people. Cutting damn paper watches out, already itching and loosing sleep over the apple watch. Love It!

I think people are going to be surprised how small the 42mm will be in person. A great way to judge the sizes of the Apple watch is to go to the Apple Store app on your phone, bring up the actual case sizes then lay your current watch on top of your screen. The body of my Casio g-shock g-5600kg is actually bigger then the 42mm Apple watch and I thought my g-shock was a pretty small watch. I have 165mm wrists btw.

I have a casio 5600-style case and while it is technically 49mm, the tops and bottoms of the "case" are actually angled around my wrist, so I would consider those parts more of an extension of the band.

If you measure the actual "watch" part of the case, it's more like 36mm.

I think the 42mm will wear a bit larger because it is totally flat.
