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!
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!
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
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!
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.
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 :)
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.
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.
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!
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 😊
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😂
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.
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.
@@biggestchinenfan 40 mm will be too small for ur 18 cm wrist… am sure of it. My wrist size is 16.5 cm (exactly) and 40 mm SE model looks a bit small.. not sure about the s7 41 mm though
@@biggestchinenfan what’s ur wrist size? if it’s above 17 Cm, 44 mm shud be just fine.. my wrist is 16.3 cm and i recently ordered 40 mm SE but i find it a bit small to my liking.. also, i was not sure if 44 mm wud fit me (i doubt it wud be a bit large), so, ended up ordering the 41 mm S7.. it hasn’t arrived yet but hopefully, it’ll be a bit bigger than 40 mm SE.
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.
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.
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!
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 !!!
This is the video iv been looking for, thank you. I also have a 161mm wrist. I tried on the 45mm in store, although a great display, its too big and bulky. Gonna get the 41mm - when the apple store has stock again 😝
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!
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.
Basically a guy having 1.33k subscribers turned out to be more helpful than those having millions of subscribers. Thank you bro for saving everyone at least $30 exclusive of taxes and the time it takes to overthink about the perfect size.
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.
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!
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…
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
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. 😄💯💯💯
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.
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.
@@mubystubuff764 im a guy, about 6ft, 170mm wrist, and still went with the 41. It disappears on the wrist, especially during running, and is big enough for my needs
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!
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.
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.
I was convinced I needed the 45mm because of the bigger screen size and the battery life! But I watched this video and cancelled my 45mm watch and have placed an order for 41mm! Thank you! I am so glad I came across this video! 😊
There is no difference in how long a charge will last (“battery life” is something totally different!) between the 41 & 45mm Series 7! It depends on how much you demand from the battery whilst it is on your wrist!
@@freespirited4411Try to bear in mind the majority of us watching this video and reading any comments posted will be using the English language so commenting in a foreign language discriminates against those who do not speak it!
@@thorvaldrhysbjrnson8720 i didn’t use any bad words buddy.. she seems like a Malayali ( from a state named Kerala which is situated in southern part of India). That’s why i just used our language.. anyway I appreciate your comment 👍
So was she from that region? I think it's really cool that certain countries still have unique areas with accent, ways of writing, dress so you can tell them apart. Now, sadly in the United States every state is looking/feeling like the other.
Thank You, I am definitely returning the 45. I'm in the middle but when I brought the 45 home & put it on it was very floppy. I bought it for riding bikes.
I wasn't sure so I got both 45mm and 41mm and after using them both for a week the 41mm is the better option. I will keep the 41mm. they 45 is now to big and heavy shame because 44mm was good.
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.
Brilliant video - my wrist is a similar size to yours and I have been trying to work out which size to go for. This has been really helpful, thank you!
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.
@@pranitreke791 finally went for 45! So much easier to see stuff and interact with. Also, it’s not big at all now. I even put a bumper case on it to protect the sides. By the way, my wrist circumference is 6.5” (165mm), and the top of wrist measures 2” (50mm) across the flat part.
@@dsi76 for you worked, but I’ve seen people with bigger wrists than yours and went with the 41. If you interact a lot with it I think the 45 is the way to go
@@lereviver310 yeah it’s perfect. Plus I’m in my 40s and my eyes are not so good anymore, so the size makes it easier to read the text. This is the first watch I’ve ever received compliments on LOL
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!
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.
I went in store and was able to look at the 45mm and while the screen looked really nice it looked big and bulky. I’m a 6’3 skinny guy with about a 7in wrist or 177mm and I decided to order a 41mm because I think I like the more subtle smaller size. I wasn’t able to see it in store as they didn’t have any displayed so I don’t know exactly how small in comparison it looks but I’ll see when t gets here. If I do end up needing bigger I’ll just get trade it in store.
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!
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.
Your insights are very useful. The bigger watch catching on your clothes and just having more bulk on your wrist all day have changed my perception of which to buy.
Great clip! However i want to ask you if you can do battery test between 41mm and 45mm, so we can see how much longer battery is on the bigger watch. Thanks!
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
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 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
@@JokobZuma You might think that, but actually the 42 is 42.5 and the 41 is 41 in other words the 42 looks more like the 44 from last year and this years 41 is the 38 one
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!
What a brilliant video! Just what I was looking for. I have a very slim wrist and was concerned about the watch being too big. You have allayed my fears, so it's the 41mm for me. Many thanks for a really great video :)
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.
I kinda thought my 41 was too small. Just got it 2 months ago. But you’re right. With a case on it it’s the perfect size. Couldn’t imagine wearing an Apple Watch without one. Just imagine a bumper case on the 45. Would definitely be too huge
What an incredible video mate! I love your honesty and positive attitude. I was thinking about getting the Apple Watch but the battery just doesn’t work for me. I’ve been using my Garmin 945 and averaging 5 days on a single charge. But if I do get anything else, I’d get the 41mm AW thanks for your help.

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!
@@ReviewswBryz thank you for being nice by commenting something nice 😊
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.
Basically a guy having 1.33k subscribers turned out to be more helpful than those having millions of subscribers. Thank you bro for saving everyone at least $30 exclusive of taxes and the time it takes to overthink about the perfect size.
You’re most welcome! That’s very kind
The 41 mm versions fits you perfect, it really hits the sweet spot.
45 mm is way to big & seems like a Tablet on your (& my) wrist.
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.
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.
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!
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…
Nice vid (watched after I purchased my new Series 9), thank you.
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
I feel so dumb getting the 45mm now because I have tiny wrist but wanted a bigger display🤦🏽♀️😭
The 41mm sits perfectly on my 175mm wrist. The 45mm appeared comically large in my opinion. Thank you for helping with this decision.
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. 😄💯💯💯
Exactly what I needed when trying to decide between the two sizes! Keep it up Safwaan.
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.
That would be interesting!
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.
@@mubystubuff764 im a guy, about 6ft, 170mm wrist, and still went with the 41. It disappears on the wrist, especially during running, and is big enough for my needs
@@alexcorll90 like, for training and normal use, without texting, the 41 is the choice. If you want to text a lot you go with 45x
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!
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.
Defo, the wrist size guide from Apple is super broad
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.
I have small wrists and was suffering from big screen fomo. This video helped me decide on the 41, glad I got that one thanks!
Thank you for the really elaborated choice review. My wrist is 165mm, and I have decided to go with the 41mm thanks to your video.
So thanks a lot!
This video definitely helped me in keeping my 41mm!! Thanks for the video bro!!
R u happy with 41 ??
The 45mm watch literally looks like the Ben10 OMINIVERSE watch 😂😂😂
I ordered the 45mm...i like my watches big.. Always have
I was convinced I needed the 45mm because of the bigger screen size and the battery life! But I watched this video and cancelled my 45mm watch and have placed an order for 41mm! Thank you! I am so glad I came across this video! 😊
Athu nannayi 😅
There is no difference in how long a charge will last (“battery life” is something totally different!) between the 41 & 45mm Series 7! It depends on how much you demand from the battery whilst it is on your wrist!
@@freespirited4411Try to bear in mind the majority of us watching this video and reading any comments posted will be using the English language so commenting in a foreign language discriminates against those who do not speak it!
@@thorvaldrhysbjrnson8720 i didn’t use any bad words buddy.. she seems like a Malayali ( from a state named Kerala which is situated in southern part of India). That’s why i just used our language.. anyway I appreciate your comment 👍
So was she from that region? I think it's really cool that certain countries still have unique areas with accent, ways of writing, dress so you can tell them apart. Now, sadly in the United States every state is looking/feeling like the other.
Thank You, I am definitely returning the 45. I'm in the middle but when I brought the 45 home & put it on it was very floppy. I bought it for riding bikes.
What an awesome review! I almost never comment on videos, but after seeing this one I felt I just had to. Thank you and keep up the good work!
After watching ur clear explanation for thrice for sure😂, I went for 41mm. It goes well & feel comfortable on my wrist now. Thanks bro! ✌🏻
Good ,honest , sensible comparison.....well told and pleasure to watch.
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.
Signed in just to give a thumbs up. Excellent review with all that I needed. Thank you!
Haha thank YOU
I wasn't sure so I got both 45mm and 41mm and after using them both for a week the 41mm is the better option. I will keep the 41mm. they 45 is now to big and heavy shame because 44mm was good.
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.
Haha what a compliment, thanks a lot, I’m glad it helped you
Gracias, es el video que estaba buscando. Me decidí por el de 41mm
Thx dude! I have exact same wrist size as you - this vid helped me to finally decide to go with 41mm. 45mm looks super bulky.
This video was very helpful. Getting 41mm thanks to you !
Brilliant video - my wrist is a similar size to yours and I have been trying to work out which size to go for. This has been really helpful, thank you!
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.
Which size did you finally go with ?
@@pranitreke791 finally went for 45! So much easier to see stuff and interact with. Also, it’s not big at all now. I even put a bumper case on it to protect the sides. By the way, my wrist circumference is 6.5” (165mm), and the top of wrist measures 2” (50mm) across the flat part.
@@dsi76 for you worked, but I’ve seen people with bigger wrists than yours and went with the 41. If you interact a lot with it I think the 45 is the way to go
@@lereviver310 yeah it’s perfect. Plus I’m in my 40s and my eyes are not so good anymore, so the size makes it easier to read the text. This is the first watch I’ve ever received compliments on LOL
Saved me a trip to the store. Great video. Super helpful. Literally hit the check-out button while you were still talking.
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!
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.
I’m in a similar situation right now but this has convinced me that I made the right decision
What a common sensical and no-nonsense review - well done. These are few and far between here on RUclips
I went in store and was able to look at the 45mm and while the screen looked really nice it looked big and bulky. I’m a 6’3 skinny guy with about a 7in wrist or 177mm and I decided to order a 41mm because I think I like the more subtle smaller size. I wasn’t able to see it in store as they didn’t have any displayed so I don’t know exactly how small in comparison it looks but I’ll see when t gets here. If I do end up needing bigger I’ll just get trade it in store.
Very helpful! I'm considering this for a gift and trying to decide on size, this video really helped
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!
Thanks for the comment, I’m glad it helped!
Thanks a lot for this man! Going to keep my 41mm now after watching this!
R u happy with your decision??
@@shehbazgrewal1255 definitely!!
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.
Thank you for this great video! I chose the 41mm.
Your insights are very useful. The bigger watch catching on your clothes and just having more bulk on your wrist all day have changed my perception of which to buy.
Perfect, this was my primary remaking question related to my Apple Watch purchase.
Thank you so much for the review
.i was in a dilemma..you solved my problem 🙂
Stumbled on this video. Great comparison with little things mentioned I didn’t consider (sleeves and putting hands in pockets). Thanks!
This was spot on! 160mmm too and was browsing Apple Watch trying to make up my mind. Thanks!
Thank you for this video. I have wrists like you and I will pick the 41mm
Great review! Safwaan has a very engaging, empathetic video presence. Keep up the good work.
Thank you! I was looking for such a video! 🤩
I am sure that I’ll choose 41✔️
Great clip! However i want to ask you if you can do battery test between 41mm and 45mm, so we can see how much longer battery is on the bigger watch. Thanks!
This is what I'm curious about. He said there wasn't really a difference from his test, but would love to see an official test.
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
Very insightful, clearly explained. Good job!
This is the best video on AW size there is. Thank you for your insight !!!
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 :)
Do you know your wrist size? I ordered the 45mm without trying anything on. My wrist is 18.5 cm
@@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
What a great video, thank you! Clear, concise and to the point. 🙌 😁
Been deliberating between 41mm or 45mm for the longest & this has convinced me to settle on the 41mm. Best comparison I've come across
Thanks for this! I just canceled my order for the 45mm and ordered the 41mm
Are u happy with 41mm ?
@@pranitreke791 , very happy! Go for the 41mm if your doubting between the 41 and 45mm
Thank you for making this video about sizes it helps md a lot
This made me buy a 2nd hand series 6 44mm thank you so much
I’m waiting for someone to compare the 41 to 42
Unnoticeable
@@JokobZuma You might think that, but actually the 42 is 42.5 and the 41 is 41 in other words the 42 looks more like the 44 from last year and this years 41 is the 38 one
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!
What a brilliant video! Just what I was looking for. I have a very slim wrist and was concerned about the watch being too big. You have allayed my fears, so it's the 41mm for me. Many thanks for a really great video :)
The best video in this topic. I decided to pick 41. My wrist is same size as yours
So good - definitely the most helpful apple watch video i've seen so far - thank you!!
Thanks for such a helpful real world video, made my choice of size so much easier.
Very good, pleasing and happy demeanour and easy to listen to (and of course the content was spot-on).
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.
The 41 with a case on it is a game changer trust me! The perfect size
I kinda thought my 41 was too small. Just got it 2 months ago. But you’re right. With a case on it it’s the perfect size. Couldn’t imagine wearing an Apple Watch without one. Just imagine a bumper case on the 45. Would definitely be too huge
Excellent! Exactly the kind of comparison I was looking for. Thanks!
What an incredible video mate! I love your honesty and positive attitude. I was thinking about getting the Apple Watch but the battery just doesn’t work for me. I’ve been using my Garmin 945 and averaging 5 days on a single charge. But if I do get anything else, I’d get the 41mm AW thanks for your help.
This was absolutely terrific in helping me to decide on the size for my wife. Have a great day!
I recently upgraded from a series 3 38mm to a series 7 45mm. But i really like the bigger screen
your video helped me to pick the right size watch!!!! thanks mate!
So now i can order my 41mm S7 and forgets about the confusion of the size.
Big thanks bro
