The Apple Watch Series 8, like most Apple Watches, comes in two sizes, 41mm and 45mm, but which size should you get? Well today I have both sizes to show you what they look like on my size wrists, how the operating system looks on each, as well as talking about the pros and cons of each size - to help you decide which is right for you! Apple Watch Series 8 41mm: $399 £419. Apple Watch Series 8 45mm: $429 £449. Small difference in price, but big difference in look and feel. First let’s compare the two off wrist, then on wrist and then look at how messages and apps look on each and then I’ll share my final thoughts. Right away big difference in size. 45mm noticeably taller and wider. 45mm is slightly thicker, I estimate around 20%. Not insignificant, 41mm easier to slide under the cuff. Same size digital crown and side button. 41mm: 32g. 45mm: 39g. Let’s talk bout how each sizes wears on the wrist. I have 155mm or 6 inch wrists in terms of circumference, measuring around the wrist. For me the 45mm watch case is only a few mm less wide than my wrist. Whereas the 41mm has a good cm or so of room to spare. Because the 45mm Series 8 has a bigger watch case, the band, rubber sports band, sticks out more from the sides before folding down and over my wrist. 41mm sits more flush. At the same time, having my arm on a desk sideways, neither watch is likely to hit the table, which is good. Feel the difference in bulk. Combined larger width, height and thickness. When moving my wrist the 45mm is more noticeable. Where the 41mm is more unobtrusive. Also with longer sleeves, the 41mm is easier to tuck underneath or slide under the cuff if you wear a suit. At the end of the day, this does come down to personal preference. If your wrists are similar in size to mine, both work but I do think one looks best. For me that is the 41mm version. It is more proportionate. Looks more like an elegant timepiece than a computer or a gadget on my wrist. Ok so if the 41mm looks best, does the 45mm have any advantages? Well yes, larger display. With more pixels, it can show more text and menus at a given time buttons too are bigger and that makes it very comfortable to use. Scrolling through settings, menus are slightly bigger on 45mm but still very readable and usable on 41mm too
Now I want to compare a email, here you can see first both a clearly readable, the Apple Watch does a great job at formatting text to be legible. But 45mm text is a bit bigger and you see more of it. Shown even more in messages. Where the text is bigger on the 45mm and the message bubble is wider and thus shows more text per line and lines on screen at a time. The larger UI on the 45mm is also good if you have seeing difficulties. Important to remember that both the 41mm and 45mm versions have the exact same features and same performance, even battery life is the same. 41mm more comfortable to wear and looks more proportionate. 45mm more even more comfortable to interact with. My advice, if your wrist size is 155mm / 6” or below go for the 41mm and it your wrists are bigger the 45mm may be best.
