Debating on Apple Watch size before I do exchange

[Alexrat1996]

Hello everyone, I’m a size 6.5 men’s small medium band but I have ordered the 42 mm Apple Watch.

It looks too small and we compared to my 45 mm a series 7 not sure if you exchange it for the 46 mm.

I have provided a picture or two on here so I want you guys’s opinion

What is that smudged watch with this bulky case? Your small one with some extra volume?

The band you are using is adding the little problem, that it makes it bigger in vertical length. The size of the 45/46 mm is ok. A band without a "loop" at one end would immediately make it smaller. I do have a similar problem regarding wrist size. No band with "loop" for me and it looks great.

Otter box and yes that the small one.

I do wear glasses, but I noticed that the 42 mm it’s more smaller and I would prefer the bigger one, I need to be sure it’s gonna fit with my small wrist.

Which one would be like the best one to get?

In the bottom picture, the watch on the left looks better on your wrist size.

I do understand, that we all want to protect our precious watches from being scratched - by hiding them behind a piece of plastic until they die. I do not want to be rude, but watches live with us on our wrists and a Rolex without scratches is a dead Rolex...

I am small wristed too, I even wear an Ultra. Give it a try, remove the 4 mm plastic and add the size to the bigger watch.

It is also a question of getting used to the size. If you like the screen of the 46 mm because it helps you with your glasses - get used to it and enjoy the big one.

You did remark, that your OtterBox watch has about the same size as the right one on the picture with two watches...

FWIW (probably very little), when I bought my first AW, I was convinced I wanted the smaller one because my wrist is very small. I'm glad I went to the Apple store and tried on both sizes because I knew immediately that I wanted the larger size.
