How tight do you wear your bracelets/straps?

[jhe888]

Just curious, as this is obviously personal preference.

How tight or loose do you like your watch to be?

I like mine to be free to slip a bit, and just loose enough to go over my wrist bones. But not loose enough to turn on my wrist. My pinky slides between the bracelet and the inside of my wrist. My index finger will fit, but barely. I would prefer a little loose to a little tight.

A little loose.

thats it

[Poly]

just loose enough for the very end of my pinky to touch the other side of the bracelet.
I wear a strap snug to the wrist

Just tight enough to not slide over my wrist bone down to my wrist. I can squeeze my index finger under there, but it's snug.

My wife has wrist bones that stick out more than mine, so she's able to wear her bracelet slightly looser than I do, while still keeping the watch from sliding down to the wrist.

I prefer mine pretty snug, keeps me from feeling the weight of the SubC.

[Old Geezer]

Just tight enough to prevent it from sliding over my wrist bone down to my wrist.

My previous day date fit perfectly... My new one is looser than I would like, took out a link and it was too tight for summer... love the glide lock feature of the Oyster, but for me it is day date or nothing therefore I must "deal" with my 118238... I know I know, poor poor pitiful me

Ha. I'm exactly here with a new acquisition. Can't quite get it perfect and no adjustments that I've grown used to. I suppose I'll just have to "live with it"..

[AK797]

I wear mine so it's a little loose when I first put it on but after a little activity my wrists seem to swell to perfectly fit the watch with no movement and yet I don't feel them on my wrists... and while I guess I'm lucky that way I sometimes wish I remembered they were on me so I could protect them in certain more animated moments.

I'm with you...unless its hot and then I like a little more play because of sweat.

I like mine somewhat loose but my pinky does not easily fit between the bracelet and my wrist.

[Wacko]

Mine are very loose, i wear them more like a bracelet.

[Ravager135]

I wear mine relatively tight. Just enough room to barely get a fifth digit between the clasp and my wrist. These are sport watches right? I wear mine in the ocean. I'm not sure they are meant to be flopping around.

Pinky finger between bracelet and wrist.

Wear it as tight as I can without it being uncomfortable. I don't like the watch to sag when checking the time (aka. staring at my watch knowing full well what the time is)

[s14roller]

Like how a shirt collar fits.

Same here

[Kanawha]

I like wearing my watch snug but not too tight. I could barely slide my pinky between the bracelet and my wrist.

[Marcela]

Bracelet comfortably below, and strap comfortably above the wrist bone :-)

[drifter01]

I wear mine loose enough to turn around my wrist completely. I have never been able to stand anything tight, either on my wrist, or neck.

[watchnutty]

once my hand turns a bluish/purplish color, I'm good.

[charger]

loose enough when it gets hot it won't kill me.

[Galion]

I wear my DSSD tight, the others not so much.

[Rogdogg]

I can just squeeze my little finger between the clasp and my wrist. The watch is not overly tight and I can still move it around a little bit if I need to reposition it a bit better on my wrist. I definitely do not like to wear them too loose and have them flopping about. That drives me nuts and not because of the risk of increased bracelet wear. I just find it uncomfortable.

[Rolexbiker]

I like it snug. The glide lock clasp is great for comfort.

[robrtx]

Snug........no movement at all unless I slide it on purpose, little finger does not fit under band.

[GB-man]

Generally a finger under the clasp. I hate tight watches and thus I will size my non adjustable ones looser to give some margin in the summer months.

[sickened1]

I wear mine a little loose and I can put my pinky in between the bracelet and the wrist.
