I tried one on today at an AD, and the bracelet felt very sharp on the edges. Is this normal, and will it "wear in" a bit over time?

Don't worry.....your skin will toughen up quicker & you won't notice it!

Was the plastic still on?

Just on the clasp. I was thinking that the sides of the links were rather sharp.

It's an incredibly comfortable watch to wear - not to worry. However, the edges won't soften. It's a tough bracelet made of 904L stainless steel.

Never felt anything like this before.

I wouldn't say the edges are particularly 'sharp' but I get your point.
1. As for the case sides - At first I thought it was sharp but realized it was just the plastic once I removed it.
2. There are a couple 'sharp' corners like on the inside (wrist facing) surface of the lugs.
But lets have a little perspective. My 7-month is transfixed by my Sub-C and loves to play with it both on my wrist and off. Any sharp edges/surfaces/corners are a non-issue. If they are a non-issue for a 7-month old.... well I suspect you can see where I am going with this. In addition, none of those surfaces contact the skin while in use.

I have a small and delicate wrist. The Sub-C bracelet caresses it and makes it feel comfortable.
