With all these cool photos I'm still confused as to what to buy. Have not been able to physically hold one and having a hard time between 38 or 42. I don't have a large wrist, but I want to be able to see it well but don't want to look like I'm wearing a tablet either.

For those that bought the 38, are you happy with the size?
Those that bought 42 does it seem ok or too big ?
Either of you wish you'd bought the other ?

Thx

You cant judge Photos for the size.
I can show you a Picture with a 38mm on my 150mm wrist which look huge and i can show you a picture where the 38mm looks really small on my wrist.
As I learned today, it depends on what you want to have.
If you doesnt feel bad if your watch looks like a smart watch and our wrist is above 170mm and a with of 55-60mm you can pick the 42mm without a Problem.
But you must tryon the watch... really... Both watches are small watches and the 38mm looks really small under the glass tabel. It looks less small on your wrist, but in my opinion still small.

I like tho show you this Picture. The Pebble Steel body has the same size as the 38mm Apple Watch, but the photo does not show this. Really weird.

I went with the 38mm space gray sport because I didn't want it to look like a super nerdy smart watch. My wrists are about 175mm. Do you guys think it looks good? I'm happy with it but have some doubts.

I think the 42mm would have looked too big on your wrist. You made a good choice.
 
I thought I would get the 38 as I hardly have what I would class as 'man' wrists heh. But after going into the store and trying them on the 42 just felt more comfortable. And the 38 looked a wee bit too small. It's definitely a comfort thing in terms of your finger size and such as apposed to how it looks and guides.

Think it looks great. I did the same thing, got the 38mm, have about 180mm wrists. Still looks really good.

how did you get your colors like that?
 
Just customize the color - purple is one of the colors

Yes, but first of all it didn't really look purple, and secondly when I choose purple it is the things like the time and the word "Calendar" that turn purple. The posted picture seemed to be the inverse of that. It's probably just wonky colors in the photo though.

Wait, but when I choose the modular face, the day of the week and calendar events are white, and everything else is colored. Yours looks to be the opposite. How did you do that?!
