Did they put a 38mm in my 42mm box?

[mdkdue]

Just opened my watch and I am actually taken aback by how small it is, I am seriously worried that they put the wrong size watch in my box.

The box says 42mm, but it just seems SO small, even smaller than my Pebble.

I have been reading about everyone saying its small but I never expected this.

I doubt it but you can determine the correct size based on the length of the gap between the digital crown and the other button - it's smaller on the 38mm. You can compare this to the photos on the apple website. By the way, congrats!

doesn't it say on the back the size?

Yes it does! Thanks!
And it says 42mm.....wow, this really is small. Still a lovely bit of kit though

I thought the same thing when i opened my box, looked tiny, was definitely like WTF? Then looked at the back and was like ok.

That was exactly my reaction.

I'm sure I will get used to it, it's charging at the moment. Just wish I could figure out how to bring up the apps screen???

I have the 38mm and the size seems fine to me. Guess it depends on the person

It almost seems clear that in a few years there may be a larger option than 42mm.

Will do, thanks!

Yep, I think so. It actually looks even SMALLER than my Pebble, which I'm really surprised about

42mm is on the smaller side.

42mm is on the smaller side.

To each his own, I find huge watches very, very annoying. The 42mm certainly fit better than I expected when I tried it, and if it was the only size available I would have been ok with it. Much bigger and I don't think I'd be happy. When I tried the 38mm afterwards it just felt right.

This reaction, I am sure, is completely unrelated to the fact that I had already ordered the 38mm. (I really was trying to evaluate them without bias.)

Yes they did

It's not the size of the watch...
it's the strength of the taptic feedback engine.
