Quite small...around 160mm. The large loop would probably wrap around my wrist twice
I read every page of this thread and I've noticed a pattern with 38mm watches.
People's indecisiveness is off the charts!
For me, it's more about $50 is nothing to me (baller) and it's more watch for the money?
But the 42 nearly covers my wrist end to end.. tough call
One thing is for sure, SS is way better than the sport. worth every penny
Looks great to me. And you've made me glad that I've ordered a black sport band for my SS with classic buckle. I've realized that I like the size of the 38mm on my wrist but the classic buckle looks to slim where the band meets the watch, to me. The black sport band will look better, again, to me. Thanks for the pic. Looks great on you.
That looks so good. The leather loop is my favourite band, glad to see them making an appearance.

Interesting. On the site it says it fits down to 150mm but for that the end must be right at the watch!
Looks good though.
THIS.
No one is ever going to know the difference in size when you don't have one to compare to. When I tried them on, the 38 looked fine on its own. When you put it up with the 42, then it looked small.
Don't know many people that are going to be wearing two at the same time.
Leather loop looks good, although I would have to have the fastener section at the other side to satisfy my OCD!!
Haha...I wasn't sure which end I was supposed to put it on. Maybe I will try swapping it.
Sizes
Hm. I've been reading this forum every day since the launch and this thread is great. Congrats to all of you who got the watch yet.
But ... what concerns me is the size choice and the photographs you are posting.
There has been a lot of threads about 38mm vs 42mm. I personally thing that 42mm suits most men and even some women better but don't flame on me. It's your choice of course. 38mm - considering your wrist / arm thinness - suits teenagers, young people and women the most. But there is one thing. All of you people considering only your arm wrists in deciding which size you'll get. Try and post pictures in front of your mirror and consider your whole body.
I've seen only these three guys do that (I hope they don't mind If I use their photos):
Watches are mainly for reading time but they are fashion / personal device as well. And body type constitution should be considered here as well.
As you can see those first two guys have 38mm Sport versions. It looks good on them. I think they could have the 42mm but 38mm suits them well since their body constitution goes well with gentle look of the 38mm - let's say "sporty" type. On the other hand the third man wears the 38mm Sport as well. IN MY HUMBLE OPINION it doesn't suits him well. He's more muscular type and 42mm will positively suits him better. So I think you should consider your body type constitution as well, guys.
I've retouch one picture on the net. Take it as just a rough picture of what I've been talking about.
P.S.: For those who could be offended by my opinion or something. Find the meaning of the word forum.

Based on the pictures you post of yourself and the cartoon you posted on body shapes, it's clear you're the body type of the character in th green trunks, which still doesn't necessarily mean you're a 38 or 42mm. The way you're overthinking this is now of comical levels
Let people get what they want without judging
Problem with these forums are the people that don't want to hear other opinions and that's really sad.
