How it wears

Wears true to its 38 mm case size

Apple Watch Series 5 44mm 38mm measures 44 mm lug-to-lug on a 38 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.16 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 78% of the 8,093 watches in this database.

A flat wrist width of 49 mm (1.93 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 59 mm (2.32 in) it starts to look compact. Below 44 mm (1.73 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.

At 10.7 mm thick it is on the slim side, thinner than 76% of the watches with a listed thickness.
