Ah…a fellow large wrist sufferer. My wrist measures 8 3/16 inches (208MM). I have a tough time with Apple bands (getting a good fit). The basic sport bands work (with the long strap)…but I’m down to the last hole generally (2nd if I want it really tight!. The sport loops are a problem because the tail end, once wrapped, sit’s on the side of my wrist (at the 3 or 9 oClock position (Looks odd). Technically, the solo loop and braided solo loop don’t fit (ie when I enter 8 3/16 inches into the apple sizing chart, I get “Sorry, this band doesn’t fit you” message). Luckily, the braided solo loops “stretch” out over time….a problem for some, but a “feature” for me that allows me to wear the largest size.As the title says, I can’t wait for larger Apple Watch S8. Possibly 49mm. That would be dream as my wrists are enormous and 45mm looks like a toy………Not 7 ft but 6’4”. 45mm is comically small for me. Also, the larger the screen is the more space will be for content, more complications, etc. Also hopping for more battery life.
Well what do you think now?No-one, it would be way too small if a market segment so Apple won’t do it
I agree. The series 7 looks great. Even if they do offer that ugly rendition of a watch... Apple, please give us the option to still purchase a series 8 that looks like series 7? I don't even know anymore lolIf the leaks are true that is one hideous Watch. If you don’t mind a clunky watch then you might as well get a Fenix type thing with humongous battery life, I doubt the Apple one would come close. I’m going to see what the regular 8 brings but if there is scant improvement I will go for the Garmin 255 as my main watch and just wear my AW 5 as a second watch on runs for music.

I guess we’ll see in a few hours.The normal Series 8 models, both 41mm and 45mm, will be identical in design to the Series 7 (perhaps new Aluminum colors?) The Pro is the only one getting the new design and it will be massive at 49mm.
With respect to the new 49mm size, it may wear smaller that traditional watches.
Lug-to-lug is generally the bigger problem for people with small wrists.
The lugs on Apple watches are basically non-existent. The watch band slides underneath and snug against the case of the watch.
So it may not be as bad as say a traditional watch at 49mm and additional extended 4mm of lug length.
That said, it will still look like an iPhone on your wrist!

Aaaaand....ordered 49mm here we go...finally!!!I'll be surprised if they release a 49mm.
I just thought it would be logical to have increase in 4mm. From 41 -> 45 -> 49mm and also was secretly praying for 3rd larger size for many years. Thank you God of Rain.Big props to you OP, total psychic!!
what we get with the Ultra is not what OPasked, that was simply a 49mm AW with no more detail than that, and if there were a "normal" 49mm AW I still stand by my comment.Well what do you think now?
I didn’t ask for it but I am sure happy they released the thicker version. Existing AW is small and super thin which I hate. Let’s hope for 53mm next year!! Two versions, small at 49mm and large at 53mm. Add LED flashlight and improve battery to at least 72 with AOD. Also they need to add offline world map.what we get with the Ultra is not what OPasked, that was simply a 49mm AW with no more detail than that, and if there were a "normal" 49mm AW I still stand by my comment.
The Ultra is a different piece altogether, the screen is only marginally larger than the 45, but what impressed me most is the 100m water resistance and being advertised for leisure diving up to 40m (~120ft) - so I ordered one, will check it out and return if I don't like it
You will buy it and you will like it. It’s the only way forward.My answer is still no. The Ultra is one ugly oversized smartwatch and hold no interest to me whatsoever.
