Ultimate Sizing Guide for Watch By An Actual Stylist.

Here a 165mm wrist, have the 38mm blue sports watch.
Seems in the real world a little small, but i like it anyway :)

I think with a black band, the 38mm looks bigger. Will try that out when the bands are available in The Netherlands.

My 38mm SS arrives tomorrow. I'm 180mm/60mm. I've never seen one in person, but I expect to be quite happy with the Apple Watch mini. I want to wear the watch, not have it wear *me* :)

Replying to myself: I received the 38mm watch today and I find it perfect for my wrist.
 
Here's another shot of my 38mm. My wrists are about 170mm (maybe slightly less) with a width of about 58mm

Looks ok in pic but I have same size arms and in real life it looked small. It depends on camera angle

Depends how large you want it to look. I agree sometimes when I'm using it it feels small, but in the mirror and in photos it looks the right size - any larger and it would look too big on me.

I also think the sports band makes the watch look smaller compared to the normal bands, as the strap comes right up to the watch (rather than the Apple Watch which has the metal strap connector which makes the actual watch appear larger). Also the white band stands out which makes the watch appear even smaller.

Going to get a classic buckle style strap which will looks pretty much perfect I think
 
This is a good example of what I mean - the Apple Watch & Edition model bands make the watch appear larger than the sport bands due to the metal connectors at the top and bottom

I think its super ironic that you most of your posts are telling small wrist people that they need a 42MM and that 38MM is way too small when in reality if you wore a 42MM, it would look absolutely comical. Even that 38 is bordering on large.;)

I only advice people with wrists larger than 165mm to go with the 42mm. And as I can go with 42 on 150mm I think this is a good advice.

We might have different widths but my wrist measures 150 and 156 is at the bone. Spent 20 minutes yesterday and sunday in trying out the 42.

What people say is right, if you want the smartwatch look, get the 42 cause the 42 on a wrist 165> does not pass off as a subtle piece.

I have no Problem with a smart watch look, but it must be wearable.
 
I've got the 42mm, SS with classic buckle. I've also ordered the white band for the gym and a little variety. I'm pretty set on the Chronograph face - I'll try another and within a few hours I just want to switch back!

It's tough, it's all about preference. I got the 42mm to avoid the concern. I think it wound up fitting me fine, but I also would prefer to have a "slightly too big" watch than one that is slightly small looking. If it's bugging you, swap it out and you'll never think about it again!

Mondy I will get the 42.
I dont like the 38mm and everytime I try on the 42mm in Store I prefered the bigger one.
The 38mm would bug me everyday I look at it.
