I use my AW primarily to listen to music at the gym and view my workout schedule in OneNote. I have 3 separate notes for each day, Monday, Wednesday and Friday. My 40mm S5 doesn't show the entire schedule for a couple of the days since the screen is too small. So, I bought a 45mm S7.

The notes appear perfectly on the 45mm. The problem is that the 45mm watch is too big for my wrist and I find some icons, especially on the Compact Modular watch face, too big. I can definitely see Pixels. So, I think I want the smaller 41mm watch but only if the notes in OneNote are still visible without scrolling.

This is what my schedule looks like on the 40mm S5:
40mm Monday
40mm Wednesday
40mm Friday

This is what my schedule looks like on the 45mm S7:
45mm Monday
45mm Wednesday
45mm Friday

Does anyone know if the 41mm S7 or S8 would allow me to see my entire schedule like the 45mm does? Would they be very similar to the 40mm or would the extra 1mm make a big difference?

As you might imagine, 40mm and 41mm are very similar, so the screen display content is also very similar, meaning smaller size of Apple Watch will not be able to display everything without scrolling. That 1mm doesn’t make too much difference.
