Apple Watch Series 7 - Size Comparison on Wrist!

[@tjmctube]

This is exactly the video I was looking for. At this point I'm sold on the 41, but I will probably visit the Apple Store for a IRL look to complete the decision. Thank you!

[@MussoliniLondon]

So what did you get

[@tjmctube]

[@anishskaria]

What’s your wrist size?

[@yuzurus9770]

I decided to go with 41mm because of this video!! Thanks a lot.

[@TrickyPJM752]

I was thinking of buying the 45mm because I like the idea of having a bigger screen on an Apple Watch, but I’ve been so used to getting the smaller versions (I had a 38mm and 40mm) so I just got the 41mm and I have zero complaints

[@konfusionnn]

I just purchased my first AW last week and got the 41mm thinking it would be perfect since I will mostly use it for fitness and sleep tracking. My wrist size is 165mm and it fits perfectly, not too small but feels comfortable. However, this morning I was thinking "Hmm maybe the big one would look better and have better battery life" and booked an appointment to exchange for the 45mm one. After watching your video, I cancelled the appointment and realised the 41mm is for me and will probably be more comfortable as well. Thanks for the great video!

[@marissaestela7611]

I originally bought the 45mm and wore it for about a week and felt like it was hurting my wrist. It was really bulky. I did love the screen because of how big it was but I knew the 41mm would be better for me! I still wish there was an in between size but oh well i’m glad i have the 41mm now :)

[@XxMsrSzprzxX]

The 41mm is more aesthetic and proportional. I have 18cm wrists and I went for the 41. The 45 was too much, felt bulky and the Milanese strap in 45 is wider than the 41's and that strap alone was too uncomfortable. It feels like the Apple Watch gets designed in the smaller size first, then gets beefed up for the larger screen, it loses the harmonious proportions and its those proportions that make the 41 look better too in my opinion. These are much bulkier feeling than traditional watches and a totally different shape from most other normal watches, which could be worn at a larger size or the same without feeling as bulky. I also appreciate the engineering challenges more in smaller tech, feels much cooler. The 41mm even uses a special metal-encased battery as opposed to the normal looking lithium package battery. The former is also technically less likely to bulge out over time from swelling which normally pushes screens up, but that's probably a problem only for much bigger batteries.

Bought the 41mm version. It just fits and looks better. The 45 mm screen won't help me see the text any better either. I need glasses with both watches. Great video!

[@Leo-ez1vr]

Thank you for the video! This is the most helpful and informative video I came across while researching what size Apple Series 7 watch to get. I have a 170mm wrist and ultimately went with the 41mm. The watch looks good on my wrist and with the narrow bezel the display is plenty big. I tried on a 45mm before ordering and it just looked too big on me. The 41mm looks like a watch that just happens to be a smart watch. That's the look that I wanted.

[@igorko69]

my wrist size is 15,5 cms…so went for the 41mm in starlight colour👍🏼😎, no issue, the 45 looked huge, bulky if not ridicolous on my narrow wrist! Thx for top notch the advise!

[@osamabinladen8766]

Eyyo are you a boy or a girl? 15.5cm wrists seem pretty small. I hope you are okay :)

[@sugiripmurti]

I bought the 41 online and a bit regretted it at first because it felt small on my wrist. Then, I went to Apple store to try the 45 and I understood what you feel. It’s just too big and felt like wearing an ipod on my wrist. Buying the 41 was the right decision for me.

I have 165mm wrist and went for 41mm. Perfect size, plus I can easily use the case without making it looks too bulky.

[@lereviver310]

I think that’s the best thing, even a big case doesn’t look bad in the 41

[@amy8049]

FINALLY!! I have been searching all morning for a comparison of the sizes from a realistic / usability/ wearable standpoint. Pages and pages.. told me NOTHING. Not even the actual SIZES of the watches. Husband was searching also. I've been wanting an Apple Watch for years and deciding now to pull the trigger. My writs are slightly smaller than yours so going for the 41. Thank you from a middle aged, only somewhat tech-y mom.

Thanks for the comment, I’m glad this helped you!

[@anderssejer7289]

You are super legit and straight to the point - Great video 😊👍 I tried the 41 and 45 mm in a shop last week, and decided on the 41 mm. Same reasons as you mention in the video, but nice to be confirmed. Btw, my wrist size is 175mm 😊

[@Vinstreakk13]

my wrist size is 177.8 mm and i am thinking of getting 41mm as well 🤝, 41mm actually looks like a watch and not like a mobile with a strap on you wrist😂

[@cawashka]

I feel like especially a lot of men go for the bigger watch because they think the smaller one looks more feminine (which is of course not the case). I have bigger wrists (180mm) and prefer the looks of the smaller one. It just looks better, more like a watch and less like a phone strapped to your wrist. I think the smaller one fits you a lot better too!

[@No1Adventures]

@@ReviewswBryz thank you for being nice by commenting something nice 😊

[@elzitro5386]

I have a small wrist and accidentally bought the 45mm and tried to stick with it but it just looked so ridiculous. 41mm one looks so much better on my body even if it’s smaller. I don’t care about screen size since I mostly use it for my runs and whenever I don’t wanna haul my phone around.

[@_roob]

I will buy my a w7 tomorrow, and I have same wrist size as you, I don’t like big watch, and I don’t want use uncomfortable loud that makes me agonize to withdraw, you vídeo helped me, I think I will buy 41mm

[@zeexiii]

Thank you for this video. I am like you, have a smaller wrist, and was leaning toward the 41mm, but every shop where I live have the 44mm, and they said to me that you won't find much accessories support for the 41mm. But, I was looking for a side by side comparison and you provided it. The 44mm won't work for me, and as you said, it will spend much more time on the bedside table than on my wrist. Thank you again.

[@davebassP5]

I went from a 44mm S4 to a 45mm S7 at the weekend. The 45 seemed the logical choice as i was more than happy with the 44. Im still not convinced i like the larger screen. It just seems strange, but maybe i just need to get used to it. Physically im happy with the 45, but visually im not 100% convinced yet. My issue is with my old space grey there was a difference between case and screen it seemed slimmer. With the S7 being (or looking) all black it looks more like a slab of plastic. But here’s the thing. Your video almost convinced me to get it changed to a 41mm (not that there is any in stock),but then i noticed the thickness is the same with both. So your argument about catching on a shirt sleeve or jeans pocket (ive never had my wrist in mine) seems just as likely to happen with both. So im giving it a few more days and hoping i can feel better about it. EDIT. Ok, you were right :-). I took the 45 back and got a green 41mm. Smaller screen obviously, but yes, blends in better. Closer to my old 44mm in looks as well, so happier now.

[@18swimmerboy]

Thank you for this. I’m at about 155mm wrist size and coming from a series 2 at 42 mm and there’s so much hype over the 45mm I was feeling pressured but afraid it would be too big. After seeing it on your wrist and you actually USING it (no one seems to show) plus your real world experience about the smaller one fading into the background of your life it made my decision.

[@tunskaz6478]

Great Vid. One of the better reviews i have seen out there discussing the practical considerations and pros and cons of Apple watch size choice.

[@davidhughes4489]

i bought the 41mm and its perfect for me for wearing all day, even if i had with a bigger wrist i dont think i would want the larger display, but personal choice and depends on the watches primary purpose for the wearer, mine is basically a watch, but for others it is a fitness monitor while working out then i totally get the need how they may prefer the larger screen for that purpose.

[@leespartane4073]

I feel like the 45 version might suit those who opt for the celullar version better, since it makes it easier to text/call and leave your phone behind during certain activities. For the rest of the people, I imagine it's gonna look unnecessarily big. I went to a store today to check it out and walked out thinking the exact same thing about it looking like a calculator on my wrist. 😆 Thanks for doing such a well explained and detailed video. It really helped me make up my mind because lately I've been thinking about getting one and Subscried. Keep up the great content, good energy & contagious smile. 😄💯💯💯

[@HeyItsKora]

Brilliant video, I've watched half a dozen different reviews looking for a decent size comparison and shockingly basically NO reviews take actual time to really compare the sizes and help people pick a size, so I'm super glad to have found your video as you actually do take the time to help people with literally the single most important factor when buying an apple watch: picking which size to get. Well, based on the video, I felt like the 41mm looked pretty tiny on your 160mm wrist, and my wrist is 190mm, so now I feel a lot better about ordering the 45mm one where before I felt a lot of doubt and uncertainty. Thank you!

[@leslie4215]

I bought my Apple Watch Series 7 Silver Stainless Steel Case 41 mm about a month ago. I also was on the fence about the size, and thought I should go with the 45 mm. After going to the Apple Store, and trying on both sizes, I realized that the 41 mm was the perfect fit on my wrist. The Stainless Steel Bezel is so elegant on the watch, and I love the Cellular capability. This is my first Apple Watch, and I absolutely love it. I would highly recommend it. I love that Apple Watch has powerful apps that make it the ultimate device for a healthy life. Love your video Safwaan, it was the most informative video I have watched !!! Thank you !!!

[@angryscotsman2504]

I recently ordered a 41mm series 7, in my excitement I started watching videos and then started to question if I made the right choice with the size. I have a 160mm wrist, and after watching your video I feel much much better about my purchase. I don’t really like huge watches and I think the 45mm would be too much and get in the way. Very very helpful video, thanks!

[@Safwaan]

Honestly the edge to edge screen makes all the difference, it doesn’t feel like a small watch by any means once you have it on. Also some people like to use a case with their watch which adds some additional bulk, so it’s nice to have that leeway.

[@a.big.conspiracy]

I’m in a similar situation right now but this has convinced me that I made the right decision

[@richeh79]

After your last video (series 6 watch size) I went for the 41mm series 7. I have 155-157mm ish wrist. I think they need to change their guide to 130 - 175mm and 180 to 220mm. Would make it so much easier for people. Coming from a Garmin Fenix 5 it is way lighter and smaller overall. I still use my Garmin as it feels more solid for when I'm out with the dog or out shooting (clay pigeons) and I feel the Garmin software is better for logging hikes and has a better integration with Strava.

[@Safwaan]

Defo, the wrist size guide from Apple is super broad

[@alexcorll90]

It would probably be difficult to justify in terms of sales, but I think it would be brilliant if they came out with a 43mm case. Many watch makers have 40/42/44 sizing, or 41/43/45/47 sizing, etc. Garmin has 42/47/51 sizes. If they can do it I'm sure Apple could if they want to. I hope they consider it.

[@Safwaan]

That would be interesting!

[@mubystubuff764]

I completely agree the 43 would be the sweet spot; I went into an Apple store today with the 45 on my wrist and 1 week to decide between it and the 41.... the visual/interactive experience can't be beat on the big guy, but even with the smallest of the bands on the larger face (sports and nike and braided loop) i am fairly certain that the light n breezy seamless feel of the smaller might be the wiser choice for my 3-5 x/week running habit.... I can NOT get over the gorgeous display and already know I'll be sacrificing that experience by sizing down to the more scale 'appropriate' 41 for my woman's 5'2" / 140 mm wrist size.

[@mikecapalungan]

I’m getting an Apple Watch for Christmas as a first time user from my parents as I have practical uses for it as I’m a junior in college and own all apple products. That and my wrists are small, so a normal non-smart watch it’s hard to find a watch that actually fits my wrist without sliding up and down my forearm because it’s too big and doesn’t fit properly. I went to the Verizon store to try on sizes and I thought for sure I would be going for the 41mm, but it looked way smaller and for me made my proportions look silly. I tried on the 45mm and it was perfect. Looked better in terms of balancing my proportions and just felt better as well. So, morale of the story is that even if you have small wrists like myself you may be surprised with going for the bigger size. It’s all based on personal preference and what you think suits you better :)

[@Josh-dp6iu]

Do you know your wrist size? I ordered the 45mm without trying anything on. My wrist is 18.5 cm

[@mikecapalungan]

@@Josh-dp6iu mine is around 16cm!! It’s definitely interesting that with my small wrist that I ended up getting the 45mm, but as I mentioned the 41mm size just looked ridiculously small and made my proportions look even smaller

The best size comparison video yet! I have a 150mm wrist and have been wearing the 41mm size for almost a week now and initially it looked really small and when I tried on the 45mm in store it definitely looked better and more masc so I’m still on the fence a little bit but I think I’ll ultimately stick w my 41 as i agree it’s less obtrusive/more practical in the long run. Plus I can always use that extra $30 on more bands!

[@tonytyler6755]

I’d get the 45mm…The bigger screen is much better, I ordered the 41mm and will be returning it soon as it arrives to get the 45, more so for when I use it to send messages as the keyboard is bigger! But imo you can’t go wrong with either, I might try it on to see how it looks and functions but really hate to open it if I plan to return it…

[@KonjikiKonjiki]

I will be a new Apple customer once my 13 mini arrives, so I've been watching a TONNE of reviews on the latest Apple releases, particularly the watches. Your vid was by FAR the most helpful wrt making a choice between the 41 and 45 mm options. According to the size chart I could wear either as well, and have been hearing nothing but rave reviews of how fab the larger one looks Made me feel regretful over not getting the larger one when it was the clear winner in so many flashy ways, but a) I'm visually impaired and would be using simple taps or voice commands to it, and b) i'm grown-ass enough to realise finally that comfort is key. Thanks for the tip about the velcro watch band, I hate how with a stiffer band, the face always rolls away from me and gets hung up on that wrist knob bone.

[@dsi76]

This is a great video, I have watched it a few times already LOL. I have similar wrists to yours. I have both sizes with me now, and going back and forth between them, and it’s hard to decide which to keep. While I initially preferred the 45mm due to its font size and usefulness for typing, it’s too big for all-day use and I don’t want to bump it around either. To me it looks more like a computer whereas the 41mm looks more like a watch. The watch faces are also more suited to the 41mm; I feel the 45mm faces have too much excess space. I’m still evaluating though. It’s funny how most of the other reviews are kind of encouraging people to go for 45mm.

It’s hard to say what’s better without knowing what you want. The 45mm has a big aesthetic and you could get away with it on your wrist. The bulkiness however is also it’s biggest drawback. I know people with your wrist size who use and love the 41mm because it’s easy to use everyday.

[@brentmason67]

I’m broke due to pandemic so I’m all over KZbin watching stuff I can’t afford 🤣 I used to have a series 6 44mm though so I believe the smaller 41mm series 7 would replace the series 6 44mm no problem, they’re the same I’d say. so In the most logical reality I’d go for the 41mm series 7 because it’s basically what everyone wanted on the series 6 44mm due to the bigger display. but the 45mmm? Aaah man🤤 need I say? It just makes you feel like a OG and it’s masculine and the screen bleeding off the edges just favors the bigger one even more making it super cool and a tricky decision vs the smaller one. So? I’d just say FOLLOW YOUR HEARTS TRUEST DESIRE AND PERSONALITY. ❤️💪🏾⌚️ You’ll eventually get used to either one anyway. Good luck shopping guys! Stay drowned in blessings!

[@LrobbPGA57]

Idk what watch to go with because I don’t want something huge and bulky but I already have a bunch of bands from my series 3 for the bigger watch.

[@HeyItsKora]

Thought I'd come back here after the fact now that I made my decision and have had 1-2 days with my new watch (it's a series 8 but the dimensions are the same as series 7 so hopefully this comment is useful to people anyway!) I ended up picking up the 45mm and I absolutely love it. I was worried it would be too big, but I got it on a cell plan and it was only 0.50 extra per month for the 45mm over the 41mm, so it's so much more bang for the buck. My wrist size is about 180mm so I'm a tad above average wrist size probably just by virtue of being 6ft1, but I'm lean/slim built, so I don't have massive arms/wrists or anything, and yeah I am absolutely 110% glad I risked it and went for the bigger size rather than playing safe and opting for the smaller iteration. Also I think it might actually display _more_ content, not just showing the same content but with more on-screen if that makes sense. Earlier today I received a message on fb messenger of a photo and when I raised my watch to see the notification, it actually showed me the photo I was sent, whereas on my previous 41mm Series 6 I'm certain that photos were never shown in the notification preview for messenger. I think iMessage always showed an image preview but I'm sure it's the first time I've seen that for messenger. Could just be a recent update but it was still really awesome seeing a preview of the photo right on my wrist, and even though it's small, the extra screen size over the 41mm makes such a huge difference, like deceptively so, for only 4mm more it feels like so much more- the photo was big enough for me to not feel like I need to reach for my phone to look at it 'properly' so to speak. My verdict is if you want the extra screen size, and your wrist is at least around ~170mm or more, the 45mm is absolutely fantastic. I don't find it to be clunky, I don't think it looks shocking or obnoxious, it doesn't get in the way of things like getting dressed or whatever, last night was the first time I wore it to sleep, and it didn't feel any different to my previous 41mm watch, basically other than the fact the screen is bigger, it may as well still be my old 41mm for the amount of difference it makes. Could be just because I'm tall/big and have above average wrist size, but if my wrist/size are similar to yours, 45mm is absolutely win!

I don't do crazy hikes or even workout, but i am a farmer so i am outside doing rough stuff, physically active, kilometers from nearest people, daily. So the brighter screen and much better battery are really selling me on the Ultra. I just don't know if it'll be wayyyy to big, and get more in the way than be helpful. I'd def put a simple case on the 7, but i think id be brave enough without one on the 49mm titanium Ultra. Annoyingly my current network provider doesn't support smartwatch shared SIM stuff, so i wont be able to take advantage of cellular :( I won't buy Ultra at full price, its ridiculous. I'll buy "Open-Unused" on ebay probably. I'm just lost going back and forwards atm. i have no friends/family that have them to test, and no apple store within reach.

After watching ur clear explanation for thrice for sure😂, I went for 41mm. It goes well & feel comfortable on my wrist now. Thanks bro! ✌🏻

[@93xDmario]

watched a few videos on this topic, yours is by far the best. simply took a piece of paper, mesured the size (35x41 vs 38x45 ) and decided the smaller one is more than enough. Next up, time to look for a cool band. I saw multiple bands having a screen size associated with it, like 40-41 44-45 mm and some 38, 42... Is this related to the size of the band itself or it's all about the mounting mechanism ? I'm kinda new to apple stuff, just got my first iPhone after many years of android ^^

[@Safwaan]

Thank you for the love! To answer your question, yes the band sizes correspond to the mourning mechanism. For example, 40mm bands will also fit a 41mm Watch. If you look online you might find a compatibility checker.

[@antmanandthecod6073]

You need to just try them both on because I was going to get the small one because I use it for sports mainly but it just looked to feminine on a 6ft 1 inch guy I thought

[@homebythefence]

Looked for video comparisons because I currently have a 45 on my wrist and was wondering whether I should swap to the 41. Your video was great and has convinced me to go check out the 41 before committing to the 45. I have small wrists and hands and the 45 feels bulky and gets in the way of my hand movements. Thanks for the help!

[@kunalpuri9492]

Saved me a trip to the store. Great video. Super helpful. Literally hit the check-out button while you were still talking.

[@BoyanDobrev]

Thank you Safwaan, that was very useful. I was drawn to the bigger one, but now I know I’ll much prefer the smaller one.

[@coralee545]

Safwaan, now that you’ve had your Apple Watch for some time now, would you recommend putting a protective case on your Apple Watch?

[@Safwaan]

Hey Cora, using a screen protector would be wise. However I don’t use one at the moment because I never knock my Watch, or put it in a pocket with keys and I find that having a protector can make the screen less responsive. In truth, I probably just need to get used to having one because it’s better to be safe than sorry.

[@Baburathinam]

Well done Safwaan. Thank you for helping me to nail the size. IMO apple should just link this to their site, they will be doing a huge favor to their fans.

[@Safwaan]

Haha what a compliment, thanks a lot, I’m glad it helped you

[@ImranKhan-br9vd]

I was struggling to make a decision on what size to get even after reading several posts, and went on to picking up one after watching your video. After two days of wearing the watch i can say for sure you were spot on with your analysis! A big thank you!

[@Safwaan]

Thanks for the comment, I’m glad it helped!

[@hereigoagain5050]

Great review! Safwaan has a very engaging, empathetic video presence. Keep up the good work.

[@distantyahoo]

160mm wrist -- i had the 44mm series 4 since mid-2019 and just traded for the 41mm series 8 and i much prefer the smaller size.

[@Arc_Vinz]

Thanks for the review. I got S7 41mm

[@jeffreygliponeo1368]

Finally found the video I was looking for. You got a new subscriber! ✨

[@Phoviegraphy]

I guess, this review is far more informative and detailed. This vlogger deserves a hundreds/millions views and subscribers! Now, I can choose wisely what iWatch I can wear. 41MM

[@ivanblancovilar]

Perfect comparison video Safwaan, at least for me! I also got a 160mm size, and though bigger size watches work on my wrist, they often tend to be bulky and in the way more often. Was doubting about the two sizes and now, after quick check in the store, will probably go for 41mm. The every day fit is my main reason. Thanks for sharing!

[@planes5506]

My wrist size is 6 inches, which size of the Apple Watch (series 7) do you recommend for me to buy?

[@maisumfrancisco]

6 inches it's around 15cm, so i'd say the 41mm

[@paperoga79]

My wirst is 18, not so big. I ordered a 41mm because I use a cover, so in practise it is 43 mm more or less and fit well on the wirst. I think 45mm is better for the large screen but it is less "discreet"

[@ReginaldVandeVelde]

Such an honest review, thanks for sharing your thoughts on the size! I was thinking of going for the 45mm, but stumbled upon your video and I'll go for the 41mm I reckon.

[@KingTechHD]

Nice video. I went w/ the 45mm after coming from a 46mm Samsung watch. Before that it was 50mm 😂 I wear them as fashion pieces more than anything

[@bashirgurey]

So now i can order my 41mm S7 and forgets about the confusion of the size. Big thanks bro

[@johnnyblaze5551]

Series 4 and its 44mm and I got small wrists love it

[@Dolomite1]

This video was very helpful. Getting 41mm thanks to you !

[@ylihao]

Thanks for the video. I bought a 40mm S6 2 years back and till today I'm still wondering if I have made the wrong choice going for the smaller variant. My wrist is about the size of yours and the 44mm (S6) looked rather too big on my wrist when I tried it at the store. But after I purchased the smaller variant I kept wishing I had a larger watch with a larger display even though the smaller one does have a better fit (a form of buyer's remorse I guess.) Also the fact that I already have a collection of watch bands makes it harder to switch to the larger variant in the future as I'd have to repurchase some of the watch bands that I really like. Glad to know there are also people who have tried both sizes and happily went with the smaller one 😊

[@robertojrcruz8506]

Thank you for making this video about sizes it helps md a lot

[@erictingkingco2746]

i have a small wrist, but I’d rather buy a big 45MM so my Milanese will not be wasted. Anyway, nice video. Cheers from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦

[@BrianYugioh]

Thank you Safwaan, this was by far the most helpful video I found for Apple Watch. I feel much more confident in my decision to purchase the 41MM Nike Apple Watch Series 7 with the velcro sports loop.

[@Oleg__]

Unfortunately, I can't find a video comparing the Series 7 *41mm* with the Series 6/5/4 *44mm.* I think the reason is clear: these models have a comparable screen size, but the Series 7 41mm has a smaller case. Many people already own a Series 6/5/4 44mm and know exactly how they fit in their hand. And that's why those people would be interested to see how the Series 7 in the 41mm version looks next to their watch. I have no idea why no one makes such a comparison.

[@Safwaan]

Hey, I don’t own a Series 6 44mm but I’ll take your suggestion onboard!

[@MrPauldrago]

Great Video Thanks. Just got a Brand New Watch 7 green 41 for a daughter.

[@oleq7175]

I have 167mm and I really dont know which one should i choose. I saw in Store the 45mm version and i think it looked much better For me than 40mm SE one. Im not really gonna use it For sports do I think 45mm is better version For me. What do you think?

[@Safwaan]

If it’s an aesthetic choice, I can see why you’d go for the 45mm. It was the same reason I went for a bigger Apple Watch when I purchased my first ever one too 😃

[@oleq7175]

@@Safwaan were you satisfied with your choice?

[@Safwaan]

@@oleq7175 the size definitely had its drawbacks, especially on my wrist because the corners would stick out far enough to occasionally catch on cuffs and sleeves.

[@marcusvlog8530]

Now Im decided. Thank you for this video. We have the same wrist size 160mm and will get the 41mm.

[@pranitreke791]

Did you get the 41mm ? I have same wrist size but 41mm feels smaller to me
