Hi! I have a 204mm wrist and tried on the 42mm SS link bracelet which I did not order initially for fear of not fitting. But I tried it on in the store and it fit perfectly meaning there was just enough slack to fit comfortably and slide a bit on my wrist. So I ordered one to go along with my 42mm SS watch with Classic Buckle.

173mm. I ordered the 42 Sport. I think what most people realize is that there is a pretty wide spectrum in which either version would suffice without looking tacky; it comes down to personal preference.
Please report your wrist size !!
I have 152mm wrist and still torn between the 2.
42mm
38mm
I'm leaning on the 38mm because it looks more like a watch than a gadget.

The 42mm looks way too big on you.
I have a 177mm circumference, 62mm width wrist but I just can't go with the 42mm. I think large watch faces are horribly tacky (I appear to be in the minority). It's a watch. I only want as large a screen as is necessary to view small amounts of info when I'm in the middle of something and don't wanna reach for my phone. A 38mm screen will surely suffice.
'Please report your wrist size'....
Seems so much like it was said by an obtrusive big brother government... lol
170mm

Those guidelines are extremely conservative. By Apple's chart, the 42mm sport should barely fit; instead I still had a lot of band left.
Same experience here, I had probably 5 holes left on the sports band and i was worried about it being too small!
I suppose it comes down to personal preference, but this image shows EXACTLY how I want my Apple Watch to look on my wrist. (In contrast to the image in the post above)
I don't want a BIG screen on my wrist. It's not a phone. It's just a watch and as a watch, I believe the band should wrap around the edges of your wrist as it does in the picture. This is why despite reading time after time how perfect the 42mm screen is, I refuse to capitulate and my orders for 38mm watches are staying. (177mm wrist. 62mm width)

Even medium size bands?

135mm. I didn't have a choice as the 42mm doesn't have a strap small enough for my wrist so I ordered a 38mm. I had an Apple Watch try on appointment and I would have ordered the 38mm anyway. Even the 38mm is almost too big for my taste.
