Should I get the 34mm or 38mm Watch Series 5?
The Watch Series 5 comes in 2 case sizes — 34mm, 38mm. Which one suits you depends on the flat width of your wrist rather than preference: the larger sizes need a wider wrist to sit inside the edge. Set your measurement in the size picker above and each variant reports its clearance in millimetres.

TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph 34 Stainless Steel - Rose Gold / Grey - Diamond, Tissot Ballade 34 Stainless Steel - Rose Gold / Silver / Bracelet, Certina DS Action Diamonds 33.8 Stainless Steel - Yellow Gold / Black MOP, Omega De Ville Master Chronometer 34 Stainless Steel - Diamond / Green / Bracelet all sit within half a millimetre of the Apple Watch Series 5 - GPS + Cellular Stainless Steel Case 40mm's 34mm case, so they cover the same amount of wrist.
What is the lug-to-lug of the Apple Watch Series 5 - GPS + Cellular Stainless Steel Case 40mm?
