Hello everyone. So about 25 minutes ago I stopped in my local Apple Store. Just to see how busy it was. Turns out I was able to try on an apple watch within about 5 minutes. It wasn't packed at all. Looked like a normal day. I tried on the sport model in space gray 42mm. And a 38mm sport. My opinion is the 38mm does look small at first, but after trying both of them on, I feel more comfortable with the 38mm. They are beautiful. The one he showed me on display did seem a bit finicky ( having to press apps on the screen multiple times before reacting) but overall a happy experience. I will be getting a 38mm space gray with black band as soon as I can after all the the hubbub is over with. Here's some pictures.
* I'm sorry I don't know my wrist size. I'm a smaller guy. About 5'5 average.






The 38mm sport



The 42mm

 
No "sideways" picture with the 42mm, like you have on the 38mm? How does the strap adapt with the 42mm? Seems a bit loose on the top, like there's a gap. Or is it just from the picture?

Not really this is the only other picture I have of the 42mm. It was on a bit looser setting than the 38mm. Personally the 38 fit great with the band at a tighter setting

The strap inserts there so I'm assuming that's how it's made.

Thank you :) It would be cool to know your wrist size too...
 
I want to add that this was good and bad. Because now I want one even more and all I see is June as delivery dates. It's upsetting. I didn't pre order.
 
Well, if you could measure it with a cord or something it would be cool. I'm 165mm and I'm in doubt between 38 and 42 mm...
