as a man w/ a 38mm - I'm going to return it - the notifications dont fit on the screen properly - i just made the text size the smallest possible - hopefully that makes a bit of a difference... I think the bigger screen will be useful.

Don't fit???

I have seen no evidence that they fit better on a 42mm.
 
I followed this guide as well and I am receiving the 38mm SS classic on Tuesday (tomorrow). I had ordered the 42mm on the 24th but nothing is moving on it. I went to the apple store over the weekend to try the watches on and I just wanna say that the 42mm is really not big at all (well for me). I have about a 7.5/8 inch - 190/200 mm wrist and was fairly shocked at how small both watches are. As a guy, I really suggest waiting/dishing out for the 42mm...I even felt the display on the 42 could be bigger and I would be happy..

edit
Oh i wanted to note as well that : I tried on the classic buckle (as what is coming with the 38mm) and they had to use the last hole on the strap.. Overall your best bet no matter what is to try them on.
 
Placed an order for the 38mm BCB on May 2nd and just got charged via PayPal a few minutes ago and my order is now preparing for shipment. East coast.

What size is your wrist?
 
I'm in China now so my time is all messed up.

Ordered the 38mm SS with classic buckle and it is preparing for shipment 12 hours later. This is insane. I have a 42mm on order (6am CT on 4/10) and I may keep it and then see which size I like best. Sell the other.

Why is this particular size, band so available?

All mine says is the label was created, pretty positive it will be here by Tuesday though.

Leaving town for Mother's Day on Wednesday and that's what the watch is for so i really hope it's here by then!

38mm Apple Watch SS Black Classic Buckle
 
The hole making the band the biggest, or the hole making the band the smallest?


The hole making it the biggest. From what I hear the bands need to be adjusted throughout the day. I am just worried with that from a post workout etc.. just think over all the bigger is better since its not really that big to begin with IMO.
