Looks way bigger in photos for some reason.
We’ll take this FWIW. If I didn’t know there were 2 different Watch sizes I wouldn’t have thought all the pictures were of 1 watchHi everyone!
I will be purchasing my first apple watch in a couple of weeks and I'm torn on whether I should go with the 41mm or the 45mm series 8.
The current watch I'm using daily is a SEIKO Presage SRPD97J1 (38mm). My wrist size is 171mm. I'd like to have the apple watch as a daily instead. I plan on using it for primarily for fitness, tracking calories, reading messages every now and then, and to view notifications, etc.
Any input would be awesome and helpful! Thanks!
Cool. It really doesn’t matter what anyone thinks about what Watch you wear, as long as you like it!I am a 70 year old woman (grandmother yet) with small wrists and I always wore the smaller Apple Watch. I bought the Ultra, returned it because I felt it was embarrassingly big and also gave me wrist pain. Changed over to the series 8 45mm. Then got Ultra madness again, rebought it and got use to the size, had no more wrist pain and I’m truly loving the watch. I am happy without caring who thinks it’s ridiculously massive on me.
That's my take also. Who cares what anyone else thinks about how a size looks on your wrist? If you enjoy it that's all that matters.I am a 70 year old woman (grandmother yet) with small wrists and I always wore the smaller Apple Watch.

That's a sizeable arm. Ultra only, don't bother with the toy watch.
45 mm, I think.My wrist is about 6.7" (170 mm), not sure if 41 or 45 is the way to go. Friends have given me both choices.
Originally liked SS Silver but now leaning towards SS Graphite with black band.
Comments on size and case finish are appreciated!
Thanks!45 mm, I think.
45 does not look too big, and you get the advantages of a bigger screen (easier to read and display more content for emails, texts, maps, workout metrics, etc).
My wrist is also ~170 mm, and am happy with 45 mm.
But it is ultimately personal preference, especially color and finish.
I’m the same age with the same “right in the middle” wrist size. 170mm seems to be pretty common.This will be my first AW.
My wrist is between 168-171 mm, depending on how snug I pull the tape measure. My plan is to buy both the 41 and 45 in SS and compare, take pics, etc. But the test will be wearing it to bed...not interested in sleeping with a mini-iPhone strapped to my wrist. At 67 years old I am interested in the health benefits such as sleep aid, ECG, etc, and readability of the display is important. However, if I feel 45 looks / feels too large, I'll go with 41.
From what I have read, 170 mm wrist seems to be in the "neutral zone"... could go either way.
It was for me also having a concern about a minor heart issue that could become seriousI’m the same age with the same “right in the middle” wrist size. 170mm seems to be pretty common.
Falling and heart concerns are finally making me look seriously at the AW. I wonder how many AWs have been sold to folk with similar concerns.
I would want the watch to slide beneath a dress shirt sleeve, so I’m leaning towards the 41mm. I’ve not tried them on, but I need to.
