If you don't state your wrist size, comments, such as the 38 mm seems too small or the 42 mm too big, are completely useless to someone with a very different wrist size.

A 10% difference in Watch size might even look the exact opposite on someone with a 15% different wrist width.
 
205mm diameter.

I ordered the 42mm Space Gray Sport. When I went to try it on, I was expecting I would be using one of the last holes on the band. Instead, I was still only half way.
 
160mm circumference, about 55mm width. Ordered the 42mm Space Grey Sport and it looks great! I do need the S/M band though!

If there are any original Pebble owners who are wondering if the 42mm is too big, just look at your Pebble. If it fits you nicely, the Apple Watch will (and look better)!
 
203mm

Ordered 42mm SS Space Black w/ Link Bracelet. It's 205mm; I have a typical metal bracelet chronograph that I measured at 206mm (inside). It will fall down over my wrist bone; at other times feel a bit tight. So, I think I'll be ok with the AW link bracelet.

I'll be curious to hear from someone with a similar wrist size who tried on the 42mm link bracelet.
 
190mm. 42mm watch is a little smaller than watches I usually wear, Tissot t-Race and a G-shock. But not too small.
 
150mm wrists. The 42mm looked ridiculous on me, the milanese loop almost wrapped all the way back to the watch.
 
I have a 210mm wrist order 42mm. I tried on ALL band types and they ALL fit with ease no matter what the Apple Sizing Chart says...
 
155mm here, I've gone for the 38mm watch.wasnt informed so much by the size of the watch, but the size of the bands. 42mm Milanese loop doesn't leave much room for adjustment on my wrist.
 
155mm. No idea on the width.

Even after two try on appointments I'm still torn between the 38mm and the 42mm. In pictures, the 42mm looks huge on me, but in person, it seems just right.
 
Lol, so, do we mean make a list of our wrist sizes, or, remind us to include it in general when we're commenting on how the watch (sizes) look, or bands look, on us in other threads?

I'm getting stuck on what this thread's list of numbers is good for. :)

(Um, 150 or so, if you really want to know...)
