Is a 42mm Apple Watch too big for a 7inch wrist?

I Want to buy an Apple Watch but for a bloke I have a fairly small wrist, exactly 7". Is the 42mm one going to look too big? Or just the right size?

Also: On your iPhone, in the Apple Store app: go to the Apple Watch > tap on Buy > near the top of the next screen, tap on Compare case sizes. Then hold your iPhone against your wrist to see how the 38mm and 42mm case sizes would look (photos are shown at actual size).


You can also schedule an appointment to try on Apple Watch at an Apple Retail Store:

That's really going to be a matter of personal opinion. I agree with Jonathan. Schedule an appointment to try them on if possible.


My wrist is about 7 inches. I got the 42mm because I like the larger screen. I like the way it looks on my wrist.
