Hey everyone,
I'm thinking about getting a Samsung Galaxy Watch, but I have a bit of a concern...

I'm pretty skinny and have this bone on my wrist that sticks out a bit (see pic). I tried one on in Best Buy, but it was the one with the wire connected (yk, so people don't steal it) and it made the watch pretty uncomfortable.

For those of you who have a Galaxy Watch, would you recommend it? Is it comfortable to wear, especially for someone with a smaller wrist? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

This the one of the watches I tried in Best Buy, see that white lock thing on it? That's the concern I have about it, it feels kinda comfortable, but the way they locked the watch makes it so difficult to tell of it really is comfortable in the long run.

The sizes you are reffering to in this post are the screen size of the actual watch

I also have a bone that sticks out about the same as you and am thinking that it might be the reason I am not able to get accurate sleep recordings from my watch.

I have had the watch 3 and now the 6 with the 47mm classic model in both cases and neither watch has been able to record my sleep accurately. I have reset everything, cleared cache, etc and it just doesn't record properly on both watches despite being tight on my wrist so I don't use this feature

It is very inconsistent and from the recordings I just feel more tired because it claims alot of the time I have only slept for 5-6 hours per night when it was actually way more. 

Good luck with your purchase

I have the Galaxy watch 6 and yes it is comfortable to wear, but the watch band also makes a huge difference, but you're safe to get the galaxy watch.

Alright. Btw, what are the mm in sizes? What does that mean? Is that like the band, screen? Because I'm seeing them in 40mm, 43mm, 44mm, 47mm, and I have no idea what that corresponds to.

I just measured my wrist, and on the bone, it's 14cm exactly. Which mm of size would you say would work best for me?

Well the band that comes with the watch is 20mm, so when shopping for replacement bands you gotta search for the 20mm size. You can also see this info on Samsung's website. As far as the watch size, since you have a small wrist I'd probably stick to the Galaxy watch 7 or the Galaxy Watch SE (the smaller one).

Ok, so.. Watch 7, 40mm with 20mm band, right?

Yeah, the watch 7 or the SE are both 40mm, but go with the Watch 7. It's a better watch!

Really? I would have never thought that it could get inaccurate sleep recordings from it! That's weird.. I'll have to do more research before I finally make a decision about getting a Watch but thanks, I'll keep it in mind.
