Do you like your watch tighter or your watch to be able to move around freely?

Dr. Robert · 17 March 2016, 04:13 PM

Loose

My recent purchase is a little snug. Contemplating adding a link for $200.

I have seen guys wearing their watch so loose it is free to rotate around the wrist and it really intrigues me. I speculate that they must be very 'laid-back' personality types.
I like my watch (and my strides) tight, and I freely identify as fairly 'anal-retentive'.
What do you think?

I prefer to wear it slightly loose. Ideally, I like to be able to get the tip of my little finger between the clasp and my wrist.

About this tight:

brandrea · 17 March 2016, 08:51 PM

I like to wear my watch with a pinky width under the clasp when it's positioned just below the wrist bone. This allows a little wiggle room, without it feeling uncomfortably tight.

Moveable but not loose with no red marks on the arm. Love the Easylink and use it every day for the perfect fit. My wrist changes size a lot with heat and the Sydney humidity. Adjustable bracelets are the ANSWER. Easylink is the best invention since the wheel. Or the Fender Stratocaster.

I have switched to a bit looser. In the heat and humidity of HK, my watches were becoming uncomfortably tight.

None of my watches are loose enough to rotate around my wrist, but they do slide around.

Slightly loose, when possible. Exercise and humidity can change all of that.

Exactly like this.

I wear mine tight. I leave no room for pinkies or other things under the strap or bracelet.
