When I planned to buy my Apple Watch I was pretty sure I'd buy the 42mm model simply because it also gives you a bit more screen for gestures. However, when I tried it on I decided to get the 38mm model because I simply did not care about how heavy and clunky it felt. I wanted the stainless steel model which has sapphire crystal instead of gorilla glass and it's a bit heavier than the Sports model and I reeally can't see how a woman would want to put a 42mm watch on her wrist although it may help with your fitness goal as that arm would get more of a workout each time you raise the arm *smile*.

I wonder about the battery. Does the 42 mm size have a bigger battery? You might suppose it would. Of course, having never actually had hands on, I have no clue what 42 mm actually looks like. I have used braille watches ever since I was a kid. I suppose I could get somebody to measure the diameter of my brill watch to get some idea.
