I scheduled an appointment at my local Apple store early this morning but after getting to the store it didn't seem like the reservation was actually required. There were tons of employee standing around just talking amongst themselves.
Anyways, they let me pick two (and only two) watches to try on and I chose the Sport - Space Grey w/black band and the Watch (stainless steel) w/black band both in 42mm.
My first impression was that the 42mm looked almost perfect for my wrist (192mm) and the 38mm seemed ridiculously small. I can't imagine any of my male friends wearing anything that small and I consider my wrists to be small!
The space grey looked absolutely fantastic and all of the Apple employees I spoke with agreed. All of them even preferred it over the stainless steel. The stainless steel was nice but seemed too dressy looking and not casual enough for me. The steel was also extremely reflective so it stood out a lot more.
Finally, I looked at the Sport - Silver Aluminum w/white band and was pretty surprised at how cheap it looked. It almost looked like cheap plastic.
Even though I could afford the stainless steel version, I'm going to wait for the Sport version in space grey because I really think it looked by far the best. (and by wait, I mean wait until "June" because I didn't pre-order last night until 12:30am, sigh)
