I've had this nagging feeling that the 38mm watch isn't selling based on my own personal experiences here on this forum and what I've seen in retail locations (No one wanted a 38mm watch when I was in line at Maxfield, and that was all they had, and the Apple retail employees I've spoken with say most people want the 42mm watch). Now that MacRumors has run that article stating that only 20% of the watches sold are 38mm, I wanted to get some feedback.

So I'm asking a simple question... For those of us who have ordered or received a watch, did you get a 42 or 38, and was it your first choice?

38.... second choice....

until i did a try on, i wanted a 42... however at try on i found out the 42 was way too large on my small wrist.....

once i had a try on 38mm became my first (and only sensible for me) choice...
