Once the bracelet is sized to my liking, I never adjust it again. And that goes for both easylink and glidelock. I'm ok if my watch wears a little loose (typically when I'm flying or in the winter) or a little more snug (like at the gym or during summer time).

With vintage & modern references, never. Set & forget. Easylink & glidelock work like butter if you are one to fiddle with your optimum precise fitment.. Just never needed to be that involved with my watches.

Only on the Platona do I ever and it's rarely at the most. I wear it snug due to its heft. Occasionally I'll open the easy link.

How frequently do you adjust your bracelet?

All the time. When I’m doing more physical work in hot weather, I let it loose, but once settled in some nice AC, I don’t like it flopping around as much.

Love the Glidelock for that.

Every night I use the easylink on my GMT as I sleep with it on. Then I clip it back to perfect sweet spot in the morning.. it’s a simple life but I like it

My wrists can be 3 different sizes in one day....glidelock or easylink are essential for me....I’ve taken my 14060 & 16570 off the older bracelets as they would only fit a small portion of the day....I have those on rubber & leather straps.....my 126334 has the easylink and my 116610LN has the glidelock which are ideal for me for comfort.

I just adjusted my 16716 clasp just before clicking on this thread. Getting very warm here and it's a cinch to adjust.

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.
Yes, me as well. SD43's heft and weight makes me adjust the glidelock often.

On my sub I liked the Glidelock just to get the perfect fit but never adjusted it after that, my BLNR fits perfect, never use the Easy-link

I adjust the bracelet when I buy the watch and that's about it. I can tolerate the variation in the degree of snugness that occurs with seasons and other changing conditions.

Never. Wear my pieces slightly loose so swelling isn’t a issue.

Hardly ever unless there is a significant temperature change. The glidelock is so nice for that quick adjustment, though.

Probably have to adjust glidelock 3-5 times daily. My wrist is all over the place.
