I’m not the least sedentary person by far, but I can’t imagine being concerned with how my bracelet fit affects the automatic winding of my watch.

I like mine loose enough to slide a pinky finger under. High and tight makes you look geriatric.

Loose snug. I like a watch to be able to slide up and down a little but not be able to turn on my wrist. Otherwise, the watch head drops down and knocks against everything.

slightly loose but preferably tight instead of too loose. Don't want that beauty rolling around on my wrist

For watches, I prefer a slightly loose fit.

For most other things, tighter is usually better.

I prefer it on the loose side. Something about it being tight that makes it uncomfortable. I don’t like the restrictive feel.

Same here, it annoys the hell out of me.

Like a bracelet. Can't stand anything restrictive.

If it’s not tight it’s not right!

This is why the Glidelock is great and the abbreviated version needs to be across the entire sports line ASAP. As for wearing tightness, just the tip of pinkie can fit between the watch and my wrist.

Over the years, I would occasionally find myself constantly, almost subconsciously "fussing" with my watches.

I thought the fit was good, but after snugging them up just a bit, the "fussing" went away.

So now I snug them up just a bit. Funny thing is, I was having trouble telling the "loose" fit from the "snugged" fit. Subtle, at least for my arm.
