Both look ok. I personally prefer bigger watch faces, so I’d probably pick the bigger one myself.
 
I have the same issue as you. The 41mm feels right and looks okay when looking at my wrist from inches away. But when I take a photo from afar it looks tiny. Try taking a selfie from the chest down so that your arm is also visible with the watch.

I also feel I could use the extra screen size for typing messages and reading information better. The 45mm on the other hand seems a bit bulky on my wrist, I worry about bumping it around, but it looks perfect in the mirror. Ugh.

Buy an older 44mm then and don’t tell anyone who may review your selfie.

My concern is not what others think (I didn’t mean a selfie for social media. Just a photo of yourself when trying the watch), but more about what I feel about it and not having to regret the watch size, as it is an expensive purchase which will possibly be on our wrist for a couple years.

Yeah a 44mm is probably the best compromise in size!

I think the 41 looks better on you and on me -but I am old and it is much easier for me to see the writing on the watch if I forget my glasses so I got the 45
