perhaps you might consider the 41mm model then?As someone with super thin arms the 45mm will look even goofier on me
EDIT: read the detail in the article; sounds like the new watch will have everything I need 😁
It's one millimeter man, what are you talking about 😄
I'm waiting for the Necklace iWatch:
The 45mm version may help for those of use with older eyes. I didn't need reading glasses until well after everyone else my age did but now I understand why may parents asked me to read the small print on labels for them.
Edit: Never mind. I thought it was going from 40 to 45 mm. I didn't realize the previous sizes were 40 and 44 and it is going to 41 and 45.

Being an almost 54 year old and a former gshock owner, I want the bigger screen but ‘giving away’ my AW6 doesn’t seem like a good idea.
Stainless Steel = lousy resale value

The screens only keep getting larger and the devices only keep getting thinner…pretty soon everyone’s going to look like Edward iPadhands…
Well, they didn’t give rats-ass with the newest 12.9 iPad and the redesigned Magic Keyboard.

Well ugly 70s design is back en vogue so why not wood grain and a push button to turn on the backlight?
Yes!!!! I’ve been waiting for this post!
The upcoming Apple Watch Series 7 will come in larger 41mm and 45mm case sizes, replacing the current 40mm and 44m options offered since the Apple Watch Series 4, according to a leaker on popular Chinese platform Weibo.
The account sharing the information goes by UnclePan, who has shared information regarding Apple's plans in the past. According to a post from the leaker this week, the upcoming Series 7 will be offered in 41mm and 45mm case sizes.
Up until the Apple Watch Series 4, Apple had offered 38mm and 42mm case sizes. With the Series 4 in 2018, which included a larger display, the case sizes got larger with 40mm and 44mm options, replacing the older sizes. A hallmark feature of the Apple Watch that has carried through each generation has been compatibility with older Apple watch bands.
Since the Series 4, all Apple Watch bands have been compatible across each generation for the same case size. According to the leaker, this will still be the case with the Apple Watch Series 7, allowing bands designed for 40mm and 44mm Apple Watches to work with the newer 41mm and 45mm sizes.
The increase in case sizing is not entirely surprising, as the upcoming Apple Watch is expected to feature smaller bezels and a flat-edged design, allowing for a greater surface area of the display.
According to Apple leaker Jon Prosser, beyond an updated flat-edged design with a larger display, the Apple Watch Series 7 will be offered in a new green case color. Prosser, earlier in May, shared renders of what the upcoming Apple Watch could look like.
The Apple Watch Series 7 is expected to be announced alongside the iPhone 13 at a digital Apple Event next month. In the coming months, other new products we're expecting include new iPads, updated AirPods, a high-end Mac mini, and redesigned MacBook Pros.

Ah there's Tim Cooks contribution to the whole project. Cant be innovative without changing up the color palette

My fat chonky arms will love large displays! I am still waiting for the full Dick Tracy though. Give us a cam!
Then maybe that 41 will be just right?As someone with super thin arms the 45mm will look even goofier on me
I think this is the only thing I plan on upgrading. I'm on a S4 Watch. I am happy with the iphone 12 but may consider the new ipad mini if the price is right. I have the 5 and am really pleased with it, but the design feels old. Not sure if that's enough to warrant an upgrade yet.
More screen space is nice, but if they can get the battery life to 2 days, I'm finally going to jump aboard the Apple Watch wagon.
The one case where I wish an Apple device was 1 or 4mm thinner instead of a larger display area.
Increased connectivity? Can the hr monitor finally connect to a treadmill, bicycle computer or zwift - finally?
Apple - new colors, emojis, 1mm more ….? No instant buy, maybe some day when it shows at a reseller for 300 bucks in mint condition.

That seems flawed logic to me - surely smaller bezels and a flat edge design could accommodate a larger display without increasing the case size?
The comments brought to mind a 1966 advertising slogan for Benson & Hedges 100 cigarettes: "A silly millimeter longer!" I'm sure that I'm one of the few on the forum that was even ALIVE in the 60s.
