Was originally going to get the 42mm, but after trying them on at the Apple Store the 38mm looked so much better. The 42 looked too big and clunky on my wrist. Gotta go with the one that looks better and fits better on you.
Got a tip for us?

I mean the 42 is way too big but don't get me wrong, it's nice. I personally think the 38 fits me well & I love it.I think the 42mm is maybe more common in my opinion due to the slighter bigger screen and battery life however for me I liked the look of the 38mm on my wrist and most 42mm bands wouldn't fit
I tried on my cousin 42 & loved it but its way too small. I personally love the 38.
Thanks for posting. Looks good! I just ordered the 22mm for a 38mm stainless steel. Yours is the 42mm? What width strap? Yes I might finally try a deployment buckle if you post the link. Thanks!
the 38mm looks so much better in the picture you posted.
because people have different wrist sizes which will make the watch look bigger or smaller on their wrists...
The 42mm on my wrist looks like the 38mm on your wrist. With that being said, IMO the 38mm looks much better on you.
How the watch looks on your wrist I will be different for everyone. Like I said in previous posts I fully went in to get the 42mm watch, but walked out with the 38mm watch. The 42mm watch looked way too big and bulky on my wrist and the 38mm looked perfect for my wrist, so I got the 38mm. A co-worker of mine got the same watch that I did, but his is a 42, and mine would look way to small on his wrists since he is bigger than me, even though we are the same height. It's also a matter of preference, like I said the 42mm looked way too big to me. His 42mm on my wrist looks out of place on my wrist and my 38mm on his wrist looks too small.
Well for me close to perfect :
Hirsch Buffalo artisan, with a couple of some shiny 6 usd ebay spring bar adapters, did cost me less than 40 usd all together.
(The adapters look like damaged edges showing blank steel in the picture, but that is reflection. )

Wow that aluminum Lunatik Epic looks great. I'm thinking of getting one but first I have to ask. How long have you had it now and have you noticed any scratches it may have left on the finish of your Apple Watch? Do u have stainless?
I like that! Got a link, per chance?
Thanks! Here you go ....
