Is the Apple Watch Series 6 - 44mm thick for a 38mm watch?
At 10.4mm, thinner than 68% of 38mm watches, so it slides under a cuff more easily than most of its size. Thickness, not case width, is what decides whether a watch catches on a shirt cuff.
Should I get the 34mm or 38mm Watch Series 6?
The Watch Series 6 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.
What other watches are the same size as the Apple Watch Series 6 - 44mm?
Huawei Watch Fit 4, Certina DS Action Diver 38 Powermatic 80 PVD / Black, Omega Railmaster Omega Co-Axial Master Chronometer 38 Stainless Steel / Grey Gradient, TAG Heuer Formula 1 Solargraph 38 Black Polylight / Black / Rubber all sit within half a millimetre of the Apple Watch Series 6 - 44mm's 38mm case, so they cover the same amount of wrist.
What is the lug-to-lug of the Apple Watch Series 6 - 44mm?
44mm, against a 38mm case width. Lug-to-lug is the measurement that decides overhang: if it exceeds the flat width of your wrist, the lugs sit past the edge no matter how modest the case diameter looks.
