Article Link: From the Forums: Apple Watch Size Comparison
This is really handy...I think I'm going to get an Apple Watch and know the style (strap etc) but can't decide between the 38mm and 42mm so this should help.
**EDIT**
So having printed these templates out and tried both I'm still torn between which is right, although I'm veering very slightly to the 38mm but not 100% yet.
**EDIT 2**
38mm it has to be after sticking it to my current watch!

I just don't see the appeal, style-wise. Sport band/ sport style, sure. But that square face/screen on a nicer band, trying to be a fine watch, it just looks off. I guess that does make sense, since a lot of the marketing is toward this helping with Heath/active lifestyle.
FWIW, the 42mm is about the size of an iPod nano. So if you wear an iPod nano watch, it's a great comparison. The Apple watch is a tad thicker, however.
I wear an iPod nano watch, but I'm unsure of which direction I'm leaning toward. Might order both and return the one I like the least. I fear availability will be scarce, so preordering is a must!

I'm confused. Do you look at the time without looking at the time? What does it matter if the time doesn't appear until you lift your wrist up? Don't you do that with a normal watch anyhow?
This have me thinking which size to get. I'm medium build and 6'3" tall, but those pictures make the larger of the apple watch look really big. I might have to wait until I try both on before I purchase. Only thing is I hope the apple stores get demo units at least a couple days before the pre orders and sale.

Is this the 38mm or 42mm? This looks kind of big to be a 38mm.

Mmmm, that's interesting, think my measurements might be wrong. Have now corrected with right measurements...I thought it originally looked big and thought my wrists had shrunk!

isn't a watch sort of a fashion statement? looks weird simply displaying a whole lot of nothing
C'mon, hasn't it occurred to you people by now that there's been just too much "think, think, think"?
Just wait and see until the product is in on your wrist, for pity's sake!
If everyone followed that logic there would never be a second version of any product from any company. Buying a first generation product is not a marriage. If someone has the money and is interested, they should buy one. If they don't like it, they can return it. Big deal.
I bought the first gen iPod. I listened to that thing 8 hours a day at work for years. I shouldn't have bought it because it was a first gen product? That's absolutely ridiculous.

They actually should, because then Apple will deem it a success and make a 2nd gen product for us to buy.
Kind of difficult if you're intending to pre-order and don't actually get the chance to try one on! Perhaps think, think, think is good foresight!!
When I first compared the iPhone6 vs. 6P I was certain the 6P would be too big for my taste. Then I remembered that my eyesight sucks so I got use to the 6P after about one day.
As for the watch options the same holds true especially when I look at the crazy interface of those tiny application dots.

Gee, I can hardly wait to hear Tim Cook say, 'it has exceeded our wildest expectations and we can't keep up with production'.
It baffles me people and their first gen little theories. Of course every new gen is better then the previous. There will always be a better product on horizon if you are willing to just wait. My cousin (and can't I aging him being the only one) is still using first gen iPad ( yes, after so many years) and is doing fine almost everything I do on my iPad air.
If everyone believed that "if everyone" scenarios were real, then this thread wouldn't exist, I wouldn't be too concerned about hypothetical mass actions, they really won't happen.
The first gen iPhone wasn't exactly a huge success, I profited on that by getting a new one in April 2008 for £179. After Apple got their act together, prices like that would never be seen again.
Not early adopting worked out very nicely for me, I always let other people subsidise the cost of day one 1st gen hardware, and for that, I am always grateful.

I did not say history. I said about people ( meaning their silly logic)
Why don't you just wait for the perfection like....forever, and let the time pass through you.
