how often do you adjust your glidelock?
I've only had my 114060 for a week but I have noticed that I find myself adjusting it quite often because of how easy it is. I live in a humid environment so my wrist does change due to swelling throughout the day.
In any event I love the micro-adjust. Hope they institute it on all watches eventually. |

I travel extensively and see my wrist size change frequently so I'm constantly adjusting my watches.

Often at first until I found that sweet spot between indoors under AC with thinner wrist to outdoors in the heat and tighter fit.
Now? Never. |

I had my 114060 for a year before selling it; I almost never adjusted it once it was adjusted correctly. It was wasted on me; I like the simplicity of the older folded claps. Much less to go wrong and enough adjustment for my tastes. Here I go straying away from the herd again.

Rarely on SS. A little more often on my Smurf. I wear it pretty snug because of the weight.

I live in GA, so the humidity - especially this time of the year - is insane. I adjust mine almost daily.

I did it for small adjustments in the beginning but not much now.
Sometimes my friends want to try the watch and I would adjust it for them. |

I don't have a glidelock, but I adjust the easylink on my Milgauss everyday - I start out tight and loosen up as the day progresses.

I seem to adjust a couple of times a day. It is summer though.
It's weir because one minute it fits then it falls on my wrist bone and have to adjust it again. Even if I'm just sitting enjoying a beer. |

Usually once a day, sometimes more. I love the option for a precise fit.

On both the SubC and DSSD, I use the Glidelocks a couple of times each day.
On the GMTC, use the Easy link frequently as well. The Glidelocks are so useful that now I can't consider a watch on a bracelet that doesn't have a simple mechanism for at least minimal adjustability, such as an Easy link or equivalent. That rules out a lot of watches. |

Once I find that sweet spot, I rarely adjust mine anymore.

I had my glideock for 2 years and never touched it. Set it and forget it for me. I only used the Glidelock as a dive extension.

Adjust my easy link usually once a day. Usually tighter in the morning then I loosen it up in the afternoon

glidelock and microadjust
Could someone explain what those terms mean and how they glide or micro adjust?
Have been doing research on different styles and would like to understand the differences. thanks |
