Do you wear your watch tight?
Dudes,
This thread is about how you like to wear your watches. We all have different jobs, hobbies and lifestyles but generally do you wear your watch loose or tight? For me, regardless a jubilee datejust or deepsea, I like to keep my watches loose because I don't like the skin hugging, stuck on your wrist in one position feeling especially during summer where you can literally feel the watch warm up on your wrist How loose? I wear all my watches loose enough to slide my pinky through the bracelet while it's on my wrist without pulling on it too hard. Be great if you guys can post some photos too as an example. |

I wear it tight. I don’t like my watches to move at all when they’re on my wrist.

If you don’t see an imprint of the clasp on your wrist then you’re wearing it wrong.
I wear my SD4K more tight than my lighter watches. No offense but a loose watch is almost like wearing an extra baggy suit off the store shelf. A snug fitting watch is like a tailored suit. I feel like a loose watch would bug the crap out of me. It goes down too low I can’t bend my wrists. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I literally cannot do that like I'm allergic. I've done that before while busy foot soldiering around the city but now on lounge lock I feel it a lot more. SD4K Ceramic is so beautiful!! |

Pinky or index finger is my gauge. Sometimes pinky on cold days, index on hot days. Crazy loose is not how I roll.

I wear mine tight enough to prevent it from sliding around on my wrist.

Relatively loose.
Can’t stand it too tight.

Not tight enough to leave marks, not loose enough to jingle around. It’s not hard to walk that line.

This is just about right, according to Jocke.

Just enough so that the case does not roll over my wrist.

Nope, it has to be able to slide up over my protruding wrist bone.

Tight enough to not slide down my wrist, but loose enough to not leave indentations. Above the wrist bone. Sometimes if I’m lazy, or late in the day/evening sometimes below the wrist bone and loose. Really depends on my mood, but mostly the former.

Pretty middle of the road, not too tight not too loose.
However it depends a bit, Leather or rubber straps I tend to wear tighter than bracelets. |

I wear all of mine loose, doesn't matter if it's a steel band or rubber. It pains me to even see a picture of a tight watch.

Not to tight for an imprint but not too loose to have it sliding. |
