Apple Watch Series 8 - Size Comparison on Wrist! (41mm vs 45mm)

[@DionMedia]

Which size do you prefer? 🤔

[@sunnypurkait6867]

41mm🥰

[@kreigerbailey3550]

Portland, JAMAICA in the Building!!!!!!!

[@technsem]

45mm

[@stevenbeck]

41 bc my wrists are so small!

[@yt_jayden3912]

Def 45 cause the larger display

[@orion4739]

I wanted a bigger screen super bad but I knew smaller would be better because my wrists are extremely small. Best decision I’ve ever made! I went from the 44 mm series 4 and this is so much more comfortable, looks way better, and adjusting to the smaller screen was not hard at all.

[@peupeuguy310]

Same the 44 mm already felt big as is and now they went bigger :/ , i may go for the 41 mm 🤔

[@NKWTI]

Agree fully. Also, the benefit is 3rd party band sellers will now accommodate your wrist size every single time you buy. When I had the bigger case, it was not as freeing to buy other bands when the one length they sell assumes the wrist is bigger and may not fit even on the highest setting..

[@mikechristinemcwilliams6072]

Tried both case sizes and altho the 41mm with the S/M band is the right size, I opted for the 45mm watch. Love the bigger and brighter, full display so much better. Thanks for the insightful video!

[@CanadianPilotYHM]

I have a 7.25 inch wrist and normally wear 43-46mm watches. The 45mm Apple watch looked great however I wear dress shirts and generally long sleeves where I live and the 41mm is more liveable day-to-day. If I lived somewhere in a warm climate where I didn't wear long sleeve shirts, I would absolutely opt for the 45mm.

[@dillonlu7364]

I think the 41 looks better on wrist, however, there are more bands to choose on the 45mm size(including the ultra’s new bands) It’s a really hard choice.

[@GOLFADDICT65]

great video....after watching this i am leaning to the series 8..i am a first time Apple watch buyer.. 58 years old and not that tech savy ( thank god for utube lol )...thx again for your video....cheers from Canada

[@HeyItsKora]

Anyone after some extra opinions, 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 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 very lean built, I don't have massive arms/wrists, and yeah I am absolutely 110% glad I took a risk and went for the bigger size rather than playing safe and opting for the smaller. 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, it was big enough for me to not reach for my phone to properly look at it. My verdict is if you want the extra screen size, and your wrist is ~170mm or more, the 45mm is absolutely a safe bet. I don't find it to be clunky, I don't think it looks shocking because of the size, it doesn't get in the way of things like getting dressed or whatever, last night was the first time I slept with it and it didn't feel any different to my previous 41mm, basically other than the fact the screen is bigger, it may as well be 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!

[@DionMedia]

Hi Korasi, thanks for sharing your personal experience. Very helpful indeed

[@gino81589]

Thanks. think it mad my decision

[@innosanto]

For your big wrist there would be no question on size. Imagine that 200mm is the maximum wrist apple has for apple watch 8.

[@emmawhodis9226]

My favourite Apple Watch feature has to be finding my phone with it when I’ve left it somewhere around the house. 😂

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. i'm not looking at it directly often enough to justify wearing something so big all the time.

[@johnrabaut9977]

My wrist is 165mm. I really went back and forth trying them on, but I ultimately went with the 45 mm. My wife, whose wrist is smaller went with the 41. We are both happy with our choices. For me, in the end, I liked the bigger screen and it seemed no bigger than my 42mm series 0. Very happy. For reference, my “dress watch” is a 1929 Hamilton Coronado which is much smaller. Still, my new Apple Watch is my daily driver - work, casual, play. It’s a perfect size, fwiw.

[@DionMedia]

Hi John, thanks for the feedback. Glad the two of you are enjoying the series 8

[@IvanAndoni]

41 mm is the best choice for me, no need bigger screen if you have a iPhone to read a messages for ex. thanks a lot for your comparison.

[@wbeard358]

I could wear either but opted for the smaller. It just feels more comfortable and easily slips under my cuff out of sight 😊

[@maymunistahi]

Is it easy to use when you compared to the bigger screen one? I have 160mm wrist. I was about to buy 45mm but thought that it wasnt look good on my wrist so I couldnt decide and didnt buy either sadly.

[@jaivora423]

Your statement about the thickness between the two sizes is incorrect, both are the same and measure 10.70mm.

[@Anca820]

Both look good. You could use the 45 for workouts and running but the 41 will look best with a suit.

[@bmw328i8]

That’s why I went with 41! I can use it for formal occasions with the right band. I love mine! Most men’s Rolex’s are 41mm on average!

[@Mykantana]

I like the 41mm and also the leather band feature. 👍

[@marlacole7265]

I am trying to decide which size to purchase for my husband for his retirement ! This video was SO helpful ! Thank you !

[@95yashsheel]

Steel version is available?

[@danielleharris9446]

I am going with the 41. I am looking forward to the texting option. This is my first Apple Watch, have always had a smart fitness tracker but couldn’t text back and forth through it. Thanks for the video, it helped in making my decision on the best size for me.

I didn't really notice my wrist size until I saw 49mm Watch Ultra of my friend and it looked like a big, bulky screen on my small wrist. I went for the 41mm Series 7(since Series 8 has the same chip as 7) and I absolutely love it. Btw I checked my wrist for the first time and it was 156mm, so ur review was so useful to me

the feature i like is the music control feature you don't need to bring out your phone to control your music.

41mm probably is for me because I have small wrists. But i just really like the bigger display it stands out especially the bigger texts and overall display Is much more readable and elegant to look at.

The one feature i use daily and i love is the Always on Display.. So glad i didnt go with the SE and choose Series 7 instead.

[@bluebonnet00]

That's great for me to hear! I"m about to upgrade to an 8 from an old series 3. Really looking forward to the always on feature.

[@KitHarveyYT]

I think I’d honestly go for the smaller 41mm option

[@jameskennethparas2218]

It’s too small. And I have a small wrist

[@KitHarveyYT]

I guess it is down to preference I would always recommend going into a shop and trying them on first which is what I would do if I was in a position to buy one

[@abdallahmoustafa4340]

Always on display is the best feature 🙌

I have 170mm (6.7”) wrist, so I’m still not sure. I ordered a 45mm because of larger display area, but prepared to send it back if it looks goofy big on me.

I’m in the same boat. I want the 45 for my bad eyes but the 41 for the speaker look. Decisions!!

I think 41 mm is best for someone with wrist size under 17 cm. The good thing for 41 mm is, it’s fit for long or short sleeve t-/shirts for most wrist size… 45 mm should be better for bigger wrist above 17 cm….even long sleeve would not always be best to wear with the 45 mm…
