Sorry everyone for the duplicate pictures this was only my second to this forum ever. I'm a nubie
So I took my hour drive to try on the Watch. I had pre-ordered the 42mm White Sport, but that one wasn't available to try on. I tried the Space Gray 42mm Sport and the 42mm SS with Milanese Loop. My wrist is 170mm. Sorry for the lack of pics. I handed my hubby my phone and this was all he got.
The Apple associate who helped me was awesome, BTW. I had no issues with my appointment at all.
Summary: The Watch is beautiful. It feels great on. I'm glad I got the 42mm. I'm going to also buy the Milanese Loop.

I have the same size wrist and I was waiting for your reply... I also ordered the 42mm Sport. Thanks for posting pics, it looks really good! Question: how well will the Milanese look on the Sport? Do the metals clash? I ordered one as well but now I'm wondering how it will look...
The connector on the loop has a brushed look where it joins the band. The aluminum is a lighter silver color, but I don't think it will look bad. You can see the difference in the pic with the white sport and SS loop next to it. It won't bother me, but it might you.
I wish they had a "silver" 42mm Sport at my try on. If so I was going to ask to put the loop on it.
Thanks for the pictures. But is the one SS one upside down on the left hand? Vs it's crown is up right other the other ones you tried on
Okay just making sure they didn't randomly place the band on the watch incorrectly. Would be foolish of them.
Appointment went really well. Super helpful Apple employee, as usual. tried on both sizes of the sport. Haptic feedback was really nice, so much better than my MSFT Band. Really subtle and the different vibrations for different notifications was excellent. I'm a guy with a fairly small wrist. The 42 didn't look too big, and surprisingly the 38 didn't look too small. I ordered the 38mm sport, mainly because the 42mm was already backordered when I got my order in (at 12:02 btw). The Apple store guy confirmed there's no way to have the initial batch shipped to the store, and there's also no way to upgrade shipping to overnight. Guess we'll have to wait and keep our fingers crossed. Really want mine on the 24th,
I think I'd probably prefer the 42mm, but it was really close. Probably stick with the 38 until the 42's are available then ebay.
Went in for my appointment today, originally ordered the 38mm Space Gray Sport model.
I flip flopped around a lot between the 38 and 42. Both fit my relatively small wrists, but I find the 38 to be far more subtle and nuanced than the 42. The 42 screams "smart watch" to me.
I did however change my mind and went with the Stainless. Here's the thing, I tried the Space Gray with many other bands and the fact that it's all-black makes it clash with quite a few other band styles. The Space Gray with the link bracelet looked awful. Also, the Milanese loop with the Space Gray was not nice at all. I really wanted to get a Milanese Loop with the Space Gray as an extra strap, but after trying it on, it just doesn't look good.
In Canada anyway, my original order for a Space Gray was done about half an hour after 12pm PST, so my delivery date was June. However, I placed the order for the SS 38mm with black sport band right in the Apple Store and delivery was quicker, 4-6 weeks (Mid May).
I'll keep both orders and contemplate it some more. I didn't really want to get the Stainless steel due to price, but after actually trying it on, the SS is the only watch model that looks good with ALL the bands.
