When I got my first Apple Watch (original series 38mm), I remember thinking that even the 38mm looked huge. But over time I found myself wanting the bigger screen (not to mention longer battery life)... I think seeing all the other large smart watches (Fitbit Blaze, Samsung, etc) on smaller wrists I got used to that look and even preferred it.
After updating to iOS 4 my old watch battery could barely last 10 hours with minimal use. I went into the store thinking I was going to buy the new (series 3) 38, but ended up leaving with the 42. I was frustrated because there weren’t any 42s available to try on with the smaller band, so I was hoping it would work out. I had read people with small wrists say that it didn’t fit. But... it is almost exactly the same length as the 38mm small band! I wanted to post this picture of the 38 with small band versus the 42 with small band, in case it helps out any small wristed people who are considering the 42.
My wrist is 148 mm, and I actually have room to tighten the band on both this Nike band and on the regular silicone band.
