Purchasing a Sport Apple watch. I am a woman with a medium to large wrist. I have always liked oversized watches. Which size would you recommend the 38MM or 42MM???
Apple Watch
The two women that I know that purchased the Apple Watch Sport got the 42mm model. Its actually smaller in real life than it looks in the photos. When I waited in line at the first try-on session, I would have sworn the Watch on display in the Window was the 38mm, but the Apple employee said it was the 42mm. If your wrists are tiny, you'll probably want the 38mm, but for medium to large I would say 42mm. The 42mm of course has a bigger screen, but also better battery life. But the folks here are right... you need to go in and try one on. Its largely personal preference. I just wanted to chime in so you didn't assume that women should automatically get the 38mm.
Hi Christy
On your iPhone, in the Apple Store app: go to the Apple Watch Sport > tap on Buy > near the top of the next screen, tap on Compare case sizes.
You can then hold your iPhone against your wrist to see how the case sizes compare at actual size.
You can also measure your wrist circumference and check strap lengths via the Apple Watch Sizing Guide here:

If you're near one, make an appointment at your local Apple Store to try them on. I bought my 42MM based not on wrist size but on visual acuity (or lack thereof). Just saying that there are multiple factors that might play into your choice.
Thank you!!
My pleasure! 🙂
I bought the 38mm and put the large band on it. For me the 38mm is big enough. I recommend going to the store and trying both on. 🙂
Do most women with a medium to large wrist purchase the 38mm or the 42mm??
