Not sure why I never went with the 45mm before. Going bigger combined with all the improvements going from Apple Watch Series 5 to 9 has been HUGE! And not that much bigger on my wrist. Battery lasts all day and night! All the apps are faster and easier to see!
It works well. I don’t notice much difference between this one and the one I had between 2020-22 but I do enjoy the fitness tracking and the motivation to close my rings.
