I have quite small wrists, so wear the smaller size watch.

How about you? Was your decision close, or was it immediately obvious?
 
I used to wear smaller aluminum Nike sport models. I’m a small woman of 5’1 ish. I wanted a larger display to work with since I text on the watch a lot. So now I’m on the larger watch and I switched to stainless steel which oddly feels more comfortable now that I’m on a larger sized watch. There’s less pressure on a small point on t wrist than previously. It’s distributed better. The smaller might have looked nicer but I can’t regret the convenience of going with a larger display and better battery life.

Ultra was too big looking on me. I wanted one but it was huge. However, after getting caught out in a rip current while swimming the other day, I did wish I had one on me just in case I couldn’t angle back to shore. I won’t wear my stainless steel into the ocean.

Thanks for the response.

I’m a fella, with small wrists, and wear the 41mm SS.

The larger sized Watch just made my wrist look smaller!

With regards to you not wearing your SS in the sea, I can fully understand. I see the SS as an item of jewellery, even if it is tech, so I take good care of it.

Wishing you well.

I'm a six foot one male with medium size wrists and I prefer the smaller AW, SS with link bracelet. Looks the most like a watch and less like a piece of tech and also fits under shirts etc easily, best of both worlds. I'd be embarrassed to have something like the Ultra on my wrists.

The Ultra is definitely not for me.

I actually think it’s ugly.
