What is the difference between 38mm and 42mm apple watch

Apple Watch Space Black Stainless Steel, 38mm & 42mm

When the Apple Watch becomes available for pre-order on April 10th next month, customers will have to decide between two different sizes: 38mm and 42mm. Deciding between the two sizes may be difficult if you want to buy one before they begin shipping on April 24th, so the Watch will go on display at Apple Stores two weeks ahead of its launch.

You might not be able to visit a crowded Apple Store just to make that decision, and Apple (mostly) has that covered too. Buried inside the Apple Store app for iPhone is an actual size comparison for each case size. The mockup shows the casing of the Apple Watch with the home screen icons displayed, and you can tap to toggle between the smaller and larger cases.

The size comparison makes one thing very clear: both Apple Watch sizes are much smaller than what you’re probably used to seeing. If you put your iPhone over your wrist to simulate trying on each Watch size, you’ll likely decide that one either feels too small or too big, helping you make your decision easier.

As mentioned above, the Apple Watch size comparison is somewhat buried within the Apple Store app on iPhone. To find it, open the Apple Store app, tap the ‘Learn more’ link under the Apple Watch banner at the top, tap the ‘VIEW PRICING’ button on the top right corner, then tap ‘Compare case sizes’ near the top center.

Now can you virtually try on both Apple Watch case sizes. For a more mathematical approach, you can follow Apple’s official sizing guide with band sizes to prepare for your purchase.

Like the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, the Apple Watch with the larger display will have better battery life, but the smaller display will obviously serve people who do not want a larger watch on their wrist. The smaller Apple Watch is also less expensive in each collection.

Question:

I have a question about apple watch series 3, is there a difference in the battery capacity of the 38mm and 42mm? How long can u use the 38mm and 42mm is there any differece of battery???

Answer:

Answer:

Hi

Battery capacity is higher for 42mm models than for 38mm models.

For example, for Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS + Cellular) models:

  • 38mm: 1.07Whr
  • 42mm: 1.34Whr

Battery life varies depending on use and other factors. Examples are detailed here:

Apple Watch - Battery - Apple

Apple's tips for maximising battery life on Apple Watch are detailed here:

Batteries - Maximizing Performance - Apple

For previous models of Apple Watch, Apple stated that its examples of battery life were based on using a 38mm model and that 42mm models typically experienced longer battery life, although this was not quantified.

Whilst Apple does not currently state the same information, it may be reasonable to expect that the same principle applies.

Question: Apple watch series 3 38mm and 42mm

Should I get 38 or 42mm Apple Watch?

Display Size and Resolution Both version offer retina resolutions, but the 42mm packs more pixels with 312 x 390 pixels as compared to the 272 x 340 resolution of the 38mm model. If you want a bigger display and more pixels, then you should purchase the 42mm model.

Is the 42mm Apple Watch too big for a woman?

38-40mm or 42-44mm Apple watch for women: the big question To be honest there is not a clear-cut best watch size for women, because the answer depends above all on personal preferences even if women with small wrists seem to prefer 38mm Apple Watch.

What is the difference between the 38mm and 42mm Apple Watch 3?

The 42mm Apple Watch has a slightly bigger battery than the 38mm watch due to more room in the casing, and the Series 3 has a slightly bigger battery (same as the Series 2) than the Series 1. There is. With all things being equal in how you use the watch, the 42mm will last longer.

What size Apple Watch is right for my wrist?

Apple Watch Sizes Those with smaller wrists will want to opt for the smaller Apple Watch options, while larger wrists will need the bigger models. The 40/41mm Apple Watch models are designed to fit wrists sized 130 to 200mm, while the 44/45mm Apple Watch models are sized to fit wrists between 140 and 220mm.
