Just curious why 40 vs 44? I'm looking to buy my first watch and figured I'd get the bigger one which is of course now even bigger. I did wrist measurements though and the 44 is only like 1/8" bigger which doesn't seem like much even though they visually look so different in the watch size comparison in the store app

My original Watch was a 42mm model and although I appreciated the bigger screen, I tried a 38mm years later and decided that I liked it on my wrist better. When I decided to buy the Series 3, I went with the 38mm variety and it has worked out great for me and therefore I will maintain the smaller display if I opt to
get the Series 4.

Ah ok. I'll have to try them in a store to see first. It's probably different with a square brick like a Watch but just out of curiosity I just measured the actual watch I used to wear a few years ago before I stopped and started wearing a FitBit Charge and it's actually about 45mm from top to bottom of the main watch body which surprised me. It doesn't look that big and due to a bunch of weight loss over the last couple years I have much narrower wrists now as well. Of course the AW is probably 40% thicker though.

I just got a new car a month ago too. And I put a special clear coat on the entire front of it. I can’t justify the money right now. Holidays coming up. I am keeping my series 3 watch. I paid it off in payments for 6 months. Almost a yr having it. I have the 38 mm and I have very small wrist. I like it. I might down the road break down and get the phone. But for now I don’t think so. I want to see the max and play with it a bit in a Verizon store. I wasn’t crazy about the X but this Jax larger screen has my attention

I just got a new car 2-months ago, it goes in on Tuesday for LED light mods, and a light bar under the lower grill and debranding. I also have the iPhone XsMax 256 Space Gray coming in on Friday. I am not sad I did not also order the S4 Watch. I can wait and see if anyone has stock on Friday, my guess is NOPE. I can wait until October/November and get it for an early Xmas gift. I have the Series 3, but I really like the Series 4 larger display.

Looking at the Apple app, it appears pre-orders of any version of the Series 4 watch is now mid-October.

Aluminum 44mm in silver with the sport loop. Current AW3 42mm is going to the wife. It was a no brainer for me... larger face, more complications. I live by my Apple Watch, so more information at a glance will be awesome.

I'm planning to go to a store and check out the sport loop before I buy. The various reviews I've seen online it seems like a nice upgrade over the silicon/rubber basic band. Just need a second look. The local Best Buy has them on the display samples that you can try on and I don't remember being too impressed with them the first time I saw them, but now I'm intrigued and want to check them out more in depth. Wouldn't mind a nice leather one either but I'll probably turn to 3rd party for that unless I have $$$ burning a hole in my wallet later on cause I do like the look of the leather loop kind.

Ordered my new series 4 Silver/Aluminum/Sport Loop/LTE through Best Buy. 12 months 0% financing makes it easier to swallow the cost. My Series 2 is still working great but I decided I wanted the LTE.

Awesome!!! I'm sure the GF is super happy hahaha.

It will be fun to have iMessage. I have always loved it. My parents can share videos with me once again without it being crap. Facetime is also nice.

I am stoked for the watch. I just got my shipping notice from Verizon for the phone (arriving Friday). The watch comes a week later.

Yeah it is super nice when the whole family is iOS users....that's my family ha. The group FaceTime too in iOS 12 will be even cooler. I have the X and don't think I am upgrading yet. I will be getting the new watch though...you will love it.

Just checked out a series 3 again at best buy. Definitely think I'll do the sport loop and the 44. The 42 seemed a better size to me than the 38 and think the same will be true for 40 vs 44 for me.
