I want to buy either the Series 10 in Slate Titanium color, but not sure if I should choose the 42mm or 46mm option, or the Ultra 2 in Satin Black.

I think all 3 options have it’s advantages:

42mm: love the compactness and probably the most comfortable especially when sleeping.
46mm: love the big screen and the titanium finish would probably look even better in the bigger size.
Ultra2: love the rugged look and the battery life, but not sure about the comfort during sleep.

Based on the pictures, which size looks the best on my wrist? My wrist is around 168 mm (6,6 inches), and I’m a 29 year old male.
Unfortunately my local store doesn’t have demo S10 titanium models, so I couldn’t try the Slate Titanium version.

They all look ok. The Ultra2 is quite a bit thicker which may or may not be an issue you. Pick whichever you like the best and enjoy it.
Yeah I don’t mind the thickness during the day, but IDK if it would bother me at night.
 
Get the one YOU like, not what strangers on the internet think.or ask your partner/friend…
This is the best answer. While I think the smaller one looks best but it could be because I like that for myself. I prefer lighter watches but I have friends that like to wear the heaviest and biggest watch possible. You might like the bigger screen or maybe slightly longer battery life? Also looks is depending on who sees it. I might think the smaller one looks good but someone else might think it looks tacky. I’d say get the one you like most

Ultra looks like it’s wearing you, so no go.

42mm looks best and will be big enough especially after adding on a case.

So hard to make a good decision, i’ll have to check them out in the store again!

Obviously he doesn't have a strong opinion on any of the 3 choices. Is he not allowed to solicit opinions on the internet for some reason?

It's not like people are giving him a bunch of negative comments on something he didn't ask for...

Also the poll seems to have a clear winner so far. I also agree that 42mm looks the best (but any of the 3 seem OK for his wrist)

hey guys!

I have the same problem. I'm thinking of changing from s7 (45mm) to s10 and I'm not sure about the size.

In the picture 42mm looks better but in real life it seems a bit small?

Thanks!

(first photo - 42 mm, second - 46)

The 42mm looks really good. 46 is huge!
I’m also coming from a 45mm S7.

Based on the pictures the Ultra 2 looks best to me, but I think it is because the bands are cinched too tight in the other two photos. The Ultra 2 just looks like a more comfortable fit. However, if you plan on sleeping with it, I would probably go with a series 10 or a clearance 9 if you find any good deals.
