I'm curious to know how all of you wear your watch in terms of how tight the band/bracelet/strap is. I personally wear it a little loose, allowing the watch to move a little bit but the face is always in clear view, however, I work with a couple guys who look like they used a breaker bar to close the clasp on their Rolie's

Is their any harm in wearing it a little loose giving it some wiggle room? How do you all wear yours?

I like a good fit - not too snug, but not loose. If the watch will slide up and down my wrist then it bothers me. Since my wrist changes size slightly with temperature and humidity it can be a challenge to get there.

Loose.

I like mine a tiny bit tighter than JJ. I can fit my finger underneath, but cant push the tip through.

Art 1 · 22 October 2010, 05:25 AM

Just right.

Route 66 · 22 October 2010, 05:33 AM

Pinkie under the wrist tight.

Alcan · 22 October 2010, 06:21 AM

JJ has it about right, again.

Don`t forget that a looser bracelet than that will flex more, wearing it faster.

Rebel · 22 October 2010, 06:37 AM

NATo Strap. Tight above the wrist bone.

On the loose side.

Mike B · 22 October 2010, 07:39 AM

I wear mine so it slides about 1 - 1.5 inches up/down my wrist. OR: enough for ALMOST slip my index finger under the bracelet.

So, I guess I wear it not too loose, and not too tight, "just right".

Frogman4me · 22 October 2010, 07:55 AM

Very snug
