Re: Apple watch

The 38 is really not bad. The 42 is roomier, but you won't have problems on the 38. VO on watchOS uses two fingers at most, and even on the 38mm model, buttons are large enough for me to locate. In short, yes, the 42 will have more space, but the 38 is not uncomfortably smaller. > On Mar 27,
