+ or - 1 micro adjustment?

For bracelet without the easy link or glidelock, would you go + or - 1 micro adjustment?

Personally prefer my bracelet a bit loose so would go bigger - especially in warm weather it's surprising just how much your wrist swells

Indeed! Nothing feels worse than a metal watch too tight on your wrist in the summer months (or anytime). A little extra space so it fits snug (not flopping around too much) but gives you the comfort is key for me.

plus a bit loose right in the AM. as the day goes, you'll swell by the evening and want room.

aka: buy your shoes after dinner.

I voted for a little bigger. But in reality, that's why my preference is for watches with micro adjustment.

i think a bit bigger is better.. my watches always feel loose when I put it on, and then feels snug against my wrist within a few hours.

As I am heat-rash prone, loosey goosey for me.

Looser is more comfortable than tighter.

Always a bit looser as I can make a fist and usually swell my wrist up to fit, too tight is just uncomfortable.

Completely agree with Neil.

I like two fingers of space between watch and my wrist. In addition to climate, when you flex or change your wrist position your wrist can get bigger and having some space is very helpful for my comfort.

I don't care if a watch is too loose unless it affects the comfort, some people don't want watches to move at all. I'm not among them.
