I did some clothes shopping this weekend and walked into the Manchester Apple Store (a store I\u2019ve yet to visit) and no one was doing Apple Watch try-ons so I asked to try on the watch I ordered<\/a>, the 42MM Space Black w\/ Link bracelet. Unfortunately, they only had that on display and not for try-ons so I tried the standard Stainless Steel with link. My biggest concern was if the watch fit my wrist. Almost every work out watch I buy doesn\u2019t fit my wrist and the link with the default setup fit a little too big so I\u2019ll have to remove some links to mine when it finally arrives.<\/p>\n

Seeing the Space Black even behind a glass display case certainly helped solidify my choices in the watch. Beautiful. The Milanese also worked great and felt awesome.<\/p>\n
