Series 3 Brightness

[sbmeyer001]

My wife and I just upgraded from a Series 1 watch to Series 3. She has the 38mm, me the 42mm. She swears the 42mm looks much brighter than the 38mm. Also, she does not see much difference in brightness between the Series 1 450nits versus the Series 3 1000nits. (At the same brightness settings)

Does anyone have any experience with this, is the change in brightness noticeable between sizes? Is is the 450 versus 1000 nits noticeable in normal use? I read something that you would only notice the difference in bright sunlight, but it has been cloudy since we got them and I cannot tell. And, what about the brightness between sizes, are they really different?

Thanks

The brightness is the same for both models. As you said, both the Series 3 38 MM and 42 MM have a 1000 Nits. Where I would say it's most noticeable, would to test it under the sunlight or brightly lit room. For being twice the brightness from the First Gen Watch and Series 1, It's noticeable.
