How did your Apple Watch size up, after all?

160mm I believe. But it's not the circumference of the wrist but the width of the flat part where you rest the watch on that counts, I've been told.
Unfortunately my 38mm is going back
Why? Looks good

Looks good but isn't that strap a bit loose?

I'm perfectly happy with the 38mm
Was quite interested in this thread until I saw the OP encouraging people to post pictures, which, as we've known for two weeks is completely pointless as the photos are totally deceptive to how it actually looks on the wrist.
42mm here and confused how any man would get a 38mm (my wrists are not big at all)

Same here, it feels just a tad too small for my old ass eyes

And which wrist size do you have?
I have 42mm for my 160 wrist. I could have saved $50 and gotten the 38mm but I wanted the bigger screen and had been looking for an oversized "boyfriend" watch. As you can see, the band gaps across the top but it's not only because it's a 42, it's also the thickness of the casing. Honestly, I think most people can do either size. It depends more on how you want it to look.
Got the 42mm sports and its so much smaller than I expected (that's what shes said)
No but honestly I think they should have made it slightly more larger. The moment I opened my box I had to double check to make sure it wasn't the 38 they sent by mistake. Besides that I'm loving it so far. Sending texts and making calls directly on my watch

You post would be more helpfull, if you would tell us your wrist size #
I decided on 38mm from the beginning, spent a short time trying to convince myself 42mm would be better, but, in the end, went with my years of experience with watches suggesting otherwise. Guess what? It's perfect. 38mm. Because you should wear a watch, a watch should not wear you.
Sizes? Well since everyone is so obsessed with an irrelevant measurement (wrist circumference) I'll just say I wear XL sized bib shorts. Is that helpful?
----------
For the case size, this is true. The circumference matters when choosing band sizing.

Can't complain!
Receiced the 38mm first and was concerned but it was fine on my wraist. 42 will be better.

Oh yes, within a sniff of too bug for the GPmsale

42mm SS Classic Buckle and I'm loving it. I have a 175mm wrist and think it looks fine. I used to wear the pebble steel and there is not much of a size difference I think.

42mm on a 190mm wrist and thrilled....they could actually make a 45-46mm and I'd be even more happy haha
