I wear it loose, I like the look of it being lower on the wrist. For me, it is also more comfortable. I don't like the look of a watch above the wrist bone, but that's me.

No imprints for me.
I'm out there, and I'm loving every minute of it.

Couldn’t wear a watch that leaves an in print. Like mine ever so slightly loose.

Same here. Just like it pains me to see a nice dress shirt stretched to the button's max or a silk tie pulled hang em high tight.

In the old days wore it tight-ish, but now my wrist is a bit, um.... not quite 'fully-formed' due to those constant restrictions as my body grew. Now i wear 'em loose-ish.

As tight as I can without it being uncomfortable.

More on the loose side for me. Although most of the summer I have had the LV Sub on rubber which I wear a little tighter.

Quite loose, hate the feeling of it too tight.
My wrist expands a lot during the day too when it’s hot.

I don't wear anything tight. Jeans, shoes, shirts let alone watches.

Same. Except for shirts. Those tend to be relatively tight.

A luxury watch is a piece of jewelry and can be worn tight, medium, or loose — any way you darn please — regardless of what the self-appointed watch police on a Rolex forum profess as gospel.

Pinky test; bit loose in the morning to allow for swelling in the afternoon.

TIGHT! Like my jeans. Can't stand a watch that feels like a bangle.

I like it just loose enough to not leave a mark. I've only had a one where the watch would slide around so much that the crown would dig into the back of my hand if I added one link more than the "too tight" number but that was only because half links were not available and the clasp had no adjustment. A watch is not a suit, or a hat, or a ring, or a tourniquet. I understand having a preference but declaring "you're wearing it wrong if it doesn't leave a mark" is a little hard to understand.

I wear my heavy watch tight, an Omega POC, and get imprints from the clasp. My other watches I wear lose enough for a bit of slide.

I like my watches to wear with a bit of slack. However, my day date 40 is a little but more snug than loose. The reason for that is based on (1) lack of minor adjustments on the DD40 bracelet (2) rather have it a little snug than too loose as it is a heavy piece and I don't want it swinging all over the place :)
I see some folks who look like their watches are cutting off circulation to their hands... I feel minor symptoms of carpal tunnel so it hurts to look at those pics! |

Always a little loose. Just enough to slide my pinky under the clasp

I like to tighten it until I can’t fully extend my fingers
