Haha. I see you finally caved in and got the quick shipping 38mm. I'm glad you didn't cancel your other order.
Got a tip for us?

I had the 38 Sport on launch - returned it for a 38 SS ML (see above - previous page for pics, got it from Apple in less than 2 weeks!)
Here is how the sport band looks - I LOVE the sport band - has a really cool texture/feel. I ordered a White band, for whenever - should be here this month.
If that's how the sports band look. It does look better than my classic buckle. The width is what I am most concerned with as far as the band. Want it to look wider than what I have now.

Ha yeah. When I did my try on session I never bothered to try on a 38mm. So when I put mine on today, it was quite the surprise on how it looked on me lol.
Since the classic band, costs the same as a ML, have you considered a band exchange?
The ML is narrow, but looks amazing!
Super classy.
This 38 or 42 thing is enough to drive you to drink. I used The Apple Store app to print out the actual sizes. Then I found a ruler online to confirm the printouts. Then I cut out both images and placed them on my 172 wrist. The 38 looked ok, but the 42 wasn't overbearing so I ordered it. I think the thing that throws off the looks is the way the band extends from the sides making it look too big on some people. However, the little bit of extra screen size might make it easier to operate - especially if you have thick fingers. I haven't seen much comment about actually using the watch as opposed to just the looks. Is it as responsive as an iPhone ?
Ordered SS 38 ML 4/27, received 5/8!
Was supposed to be 4-6 weeks, not less than 2!!!

Does the band pinch the arm hair?
Not really.
I does kinda need some adjusting, as it doesn't stay super tight as you use your wrist, throughout the day. It doesn't get flopping loose. I really, REALLY like it.
It shimmers in the sun.
I think this is the central issue with some of the 38mm bands for me as well: they're just too skinny, particularly the Milanese Loop and Classic Buckle. Not only would wider bands make the 38mm aesthetically more pleasing, but also give it so much more of a substantive look and feel.
At my try-on, these exact watches in particular stood out in being so dramatically differentiated by the band width. For me, the 38mm's appeal was diminished almost wholly due to its thinner band, even on my girlfriend who has 150mm wrists.
The 38mm with the 42mm band—particularly the Milanese Loop—and you'd be in business. But as it stands, the 42mm by a wide margin.
Watch arrived Tuesday, but just got back into town late last night. Luckily UPS was still holding my shipment vs returning it back to Apple. Gotta say, I got A LOT more use out of it then I had expected. Especially the messages app. Never realized how many quick one response messages I usually send and being able to do so without digging into my pocket all the time to respond is worth the buy in cost alone. The activity app is also a nice feature. Was able to get all my goals the with having the watch only for 12 hours, and I also still have 43% battery. All in all, this thing has exceeded all my expectations. So much so I ordered the leather band for it.
The only gotcha I have right now is that I'm kinda torn between the L/M and M/S bands. I used the M/S band all day (into the third largest hole for a pretty tight fit). The other option is to use the L/M band, but I'd have to put it into the 2nd smallest hole for a tight fit). Hopefully the medium leather band I ordered fits well otherwise I'll have to return it and wait for a large.

Tbh I thought the watch was not all that but now that I owned it for 4 days I think I'm kinda addicted to it

It becomes that way...
At first there a learning curve, but once the backend nuances become apparent - it just clicks!
Lol at the enormity of the M360 compared to the 38mm Watch (which, BTW, is exactly the right size for you).
Best Thing since Sliced Apples
Same here . . . like I don't know what I did before I got my first iPhone many years ago. I usually wear a watch but this thing blows, what ever I've worn before, out of the water! I find it indispensable now. I got my 38 mm Sport Gray with black band this Monday (5/4) and have been wearing it every day since. So far, the battery gauge only shows 50% before I charge it at night. Today, I used Apple's fitness app, for the first time, on my morning hike. I have other apps, like Runtastic and Strava, that I used on my iPhone which I will check out later. But, I was really impressed with Apple's fitness app. I got all of the information I needed, right on my wrist! This was absolutely the best choice (model and size) for me. I couldn't be happier with my Apple Watch and now, I can say, that it was totally worth the wait

I think we're going to be ok with the sport band on our 38's!

Looks great!
