Welcome Back, 42 Millimetre Apple Watch ⇥ mastodon.social

David Smith:

An interesting point of comparison. The Series 10 “Small” (42mm) Apple Watch is very nearly the same physical footprint of the “Large” (42mm) Series 1 Apple Watch. Though obviously with a much larger screen given the rounded shape and drastic reduction in bezel thickness over the last decade.

These dimensions are remarkably close: the smallest Series 10 is 0.4mm narrower and 0.8mm thinner than the largest Series 1. Even commentators of the original Apple watch — like Benjamin Clymer and Serenity Caldwell — said they would feel comfortable with either, and the larger model did not feel too big.
