Pixel 3, 41mm vs 45mm side by side

The reddish band is 41mm, and the lighter band is 45mm.

1) both on my 6.5" wrist 2) side by side(ish)...sorry about the angle 3) flashlight to show bezel, wrist for reference 4) display watches, side by side

The 41mm seemed the most "normal" sized for my wrist and build (average height, men's small/slim-fit). However, the 45mm didn't seem as "Inspector Gadgety" as I expected. It's a bit bulbous and around the width of my wrist. While I was attracted to it (and encouraged by the hip Google employee), for my needs and anticipated interaction, the 41mm probably suits me.

What do the rest of you think? Were these photos helpful?
