How frequently do you adjust your bracelet?
Do you have a sweet spot that works for most/all the time or are you constantly adjusting based on how swollen your arm is?

All the time. Precisely why its easy link/Glide lock or nothing. Never again will I purchase a piece without it.

I adjust my LV and my SD43 all the time. I leave my BLNR and my old 16523 Daytona alone.
Seems I have a permanent sweet spot on those, but the divers (perhaps due to the heavier cases) seem to require more adjustment as the temps and humidity fluctuates. |

Never. Gym, pool, at work, at home, summer, winter, etc. Never. None of them. Even easylink is useless to me. If a watch gets too tight, it means I put on weight. My answer for this is not, "glidelock."

Rarely enough that “never” is nearly accurate.

I find myself using easylink at least a couple of times per week.

I use the easy link most days. I find it fits best when closed in the morning and open in the afternoon. I could definitely have the watch in the open position all the time, but there would be some movement when my wrist is smaller.

I try to leave it alone. But very hard to do. Always fiddling with the GL.

I like a tight fit and sometimes I have to loosen it up a little, especially after intensive physical activity or when the weather is hot.

SD4K, SD43, Hulk, fairly frequently...Daytona and Explorer, never.
Maybe due to the relative weight of the watch heads, but the latter two don’t require adjustment for me. |

I adjusted once when i was on beach side, high humidity and hot weather, makes it uncomfortable.

at leat 4 times a day, I use snug the bracelet then I need to loose a little or tight it several times a day. Glidelock is the best for me.

I live in Australia and have a large diameter wrist. Those two separate issues nevertheless mean that my wrist size alters significantly throughout the day, especially in the warmer months. The easylink makes a big difference to comfort and I would love to get my hands on one for my OP39. Any offers would be gratefully appreciated :)

With the weight of the SD43, I adjust it usually in the summer when things get a bit more hot and humid and during heavier activity. In the winter, I never need to adjust.

My watch is heavy enough I need to have it kind of snug. But there are only a few times in the summer where I might "let it out." It's nice to have the capability, but TBH, I just haven't really needed it.

For me, I actually do not need to adjust my bracelet ever. I have worn my SS daytona for years without ever opening the easy link, other then opening it to clean it. Once I had my GMT2C, I started using it once in a while when its hot in the summer for instance. All of my other watches do not have easy link and I have never felt that I miss having an easy link.

I only adjust the bracelet on DSSD. When I go for my daily walk, I loosen the bracelet, and when sitting around, I wear it nice & tight so that bad boy won’t slosh around.

Definitely a seasonal thing for me. Easylink & glidelock are very handy for gulf coast summers.

I've had a bunch of watches with EZ link, never used it. Never had a glidelock though

Never.
The oldest bracelet I have is my 5513 that was given to me in 1996. I haven't even changed that size and I gained 25lbs easily since then! (all in the belly ) |
