Thanks! I've seen the article before but hadn't paid close attention to the pictures.
My current watch has a round face that's 38mm across and it looks fine on my wrist.
I've got the curse of having slightly small wrists and big hands.
I'll try both on before making a final call.
42 mm stainless milanese
I have seen so many variations in color with the Stainless Steel and the Black Stainless Steel band. Please tell me the model in this pic is wearing the Space Black SS. If so, this is what I freaking want. GORGEOUS![]()
Nope.
Recent, color accurate pic of both link bracelet colors:

The referenced photo with the model is wearing the SS version, it's just oddly lit/processed or reflecting something dark. To be fair, it is hard to photograph shiny metal and retain accurate color.

38mm Space Black SS + Link Bracelet, male, 167mm wrists, human, from earth
Though there's a small chance I'll change the size or color choice there, but, this choice has been what I've come back to repeatedly since the options were known.
(Oh and before anyone tries to save me from the "too small" size, look, pal, I follow classy watch sizing standards and wear a 36mm watch currently. So I'm good on this matter of opinion.)
Not necessarily square watches are fairly common. Check out my Invicta next to citizen Eco drive.Round is a more natural shape, nature wise, I don't think anyone can deny that. Square is a more artifial man made shape.
Perhaps this is why many like a round watch without really knowing why. It just feels and looks more natural.
When it comes to displaying man made data, most man made things are square, often for ease of manufacture, it's always easier to cut and to store square things than nice round things.
When it comes to things for the body, we tend to go for smooth round curves not hard square straight edges.
It's easier to cleanly fit more human text into a square area of course.
Human view wise, everything shoul be widescreen, even the watch, people have rubbished the round electronic watch idea, saying its only round because if the mechanics of hands and a watch face.
I can easily point out that a nice square is equally stupid as again it's only that shape, a square, also for mechanical watch hands to rotate around.
You would not often make a mechanical watch that is twice as wide as it is tall as that would not work with rotating watch hands.
But such a display would be far far better firm the human field of view.
Also for displaying text and photos etc ect.
Perhaps a 4:3 landscape display would be far more sensible and practical when leaving mechanical watch hands behind and moving to a screen based watch.
I am sad apple has played it so very safe and was frightened to actually set a new display standard that could of taken us forward for a new decade or more.
Now all your apps, text, photos etc etc are going to have to be hacked to fit this aspect ratio they are going to use.
Sign.

I collect Invicta Diving watches as well. I'm going with a Sport space gray primarily for gym use. I'm in there 6 days a week. And to wear it as a non dressy watch. The 42mm will be LIGHT work compared to my MONSTER 58mm Invicta Sea Monster!
Kinda wish Apple made a 45mm #.
