You like objects that are forgotten, but that deliver when it is necessary. So the question is not “the last is it more powerful?”, But “on the wrist, what does it change for me, every day?”.
Here is a clear pixel watch comparison, oriented uses, without emphasis or rumors.
Concretely: more readable notifications, more comfortable cards, training screens that breathe. No “plate” effect either: 12.3 mm thick remain contained on both sizes.
This gain of 2,000 nits changes the game for a quick look at the midday. And the LTPO (1–60 Hz) helps autonomy without sacrificing the fluidity of the animations.
In practice: 41 mm remains a “a day + night” watch. The 45 mm offers more ease if you chain an evening and a morning run without catching within range.
