I've collected three of the four current Belt Bag sizes, and I love each of them to pieces. Only missing the Micro, but I feel like the Nano does the job of being an in-between size perfectly well.
(I'm 5'6" for reference)
The Mini in Black was my first, and it has been a real workhorse. I carried it most every day for around a year, and still bring it out when I want a bigger bag that isn't a tote. Obviously, it has been well-loved and suffered a bit from heavy usage. But besides the sagging and needing a bit of cleaning, it is holding up quite well for how much I abuse it. The edging and corners are in great condition. I do have to say, it isn't the lightest bag I've ever used, and the strap cannot be worn crossbody (the two smallest sizes have adjustable straps). It also has an unusual pull-down style closure that some people find finicky, but I never had any issues with it. After spending time with the other sizes, the Mini is probably overall the worst/least useful for daily wear, but makes for a great work bag.
Last year I picked up the Nano in Vintage Pink because I needed a lighter, summery bag in my collection. I don't use it as much as I would like in fall/winter, but it really is a great size for a smaller bag! If they come out with some new interesting colors, I would definitely consider getting another Nano. I do miss the back pocket (on the Mini and Micro) and the feet that are only on the Mini. When deciding between the Micro and Nano, I chose the nano half because of the adjustable strap, and half because I find it the smaller size just a bit cuter.
I had been wanting the Pico since it first came out. It was love at first sight. It's just so tiny! I definitely have a weakness for tiny versions of bigger bags. It can go day to night easily (especially removing the strap for a fancy night out, if those ever happen again) and is actually quite roomy on the inside due to the shape of the Belt Bag. My Samsung Galaxy S20+ fits inside no problem.
What are your experiences with the different sizes? My impression from the community is that the Micro and Nano are probably in competition for most useful/overall best. How did you decide which size to get?
