Just get an arm strap for your phone. you’ll have to manually count your heart rate BPM. But you’ll have the largest screen for a watch.

The screen on the 40mm is larger than the current 42mm. Hope that helps.
Got a tip for us?

they *are* both wider but they did grow more in the vertical. the old bands still fit because of how they tapered the corners differently.
UI Designer once again ruining the fun…lol.
I saw someone on Twitter did a comparison and the 40mm matches up almost exactly with the 42mm display size. To be able to fit that new dense watch face the UI elements must certainly be smaller.
Oh praise God! LOL! I have a 38 now and probably about 20 bands. I’d hate to have to repurchase them all! But I definitely want the bigger screen. I think a 40 will do nicely for me.

Same. LOLGetting the 40mm I have skinny wrists and the screen real estate is even more then the old series 3. 42mm So win win.

But you’re getting more screen in the 40 regardless.
40mm for sure. (after 3 years with 42mm)
Smaller watches are classier and now you get a decently sized screen.

is this a midnight release in the UK? first time apple watch buyer and love the new features on this one
i wont be pre-ordering, i just walk into the store when they are available in hong kong apple store. They won`t be sold out for months on end anyway.
I go for a 44mm spacegrey LTE version.

I'm leaning towards the 44mm Nike Space Gray with the new reflective Sport Loop.
Heavily leaning towards the 40mm. I have the 42mm now, I’m ok with the screen size and I’m impressed that the actual screen size in the 40 is bigger than what I have..
I think I’m going to wait to see them in person though..

Really torn on my watch colour. Leaning towards the below combo (GPS only), shame it’s not a standard config.

I think I'm going to for the SSG with the stone sports band.. i.e. the one used in the marketing material.
been looking at a few of the hands on video and i'm a little worried that the gold is a little more bling than i'd like.. seems a lot more matt in the images but the videos its seems quite polished
I like the 42 but 44 seems too big. It’s more screen on a wrist than watch like imo. It’s going to suck having to get new bands though.
The main reason I’m getting the watch is to ditch the arm strap and just leave the phone at home when I exercise.
I want the largest watch because my height is over four standard deviations from the mean and the smaller one would probably look borderline ridiculous on me.
I wonder if the larger 44mm S4 watch is much bigger in real life than a S3 42mm.....?!
Was gonna wait a while and go for the 40mm S4 at £399 but looking at the prices for the 44mm, it's only another £30 more.....!
...thats interesting - the 40mm watch has a very slightly bigger sized screen than the 42mm, in a smaller body!!
I may just go for the 40mm then, if this is the case!
