When i play the piano my wrist gets significantly bigger and i have to adjust the bracelet (easy links still wouldn't do the trick for me).

I dont want to change it every time, so now i left it with that setup (so its comfortable to play). As a result throughout the day i wear it kind of loose.

A friend told me that his method is: he twists his wrist quickly and, if the watch moves, then its loose enough.

How did you guys come to your current setups ?

Pinky finger fits under the bracelet strap.

Punishher7 · 13 May 2016, 12:28 PM

I wear mine reasonably snug. I don't like to feel it move around.

HogwldFLTR · 13 May 2016, 12:29 PM

Loose enough so it can slide but not rotate. You should have learned guitar instead of piano; I never have a problem!!!

Why? Because if feels best that way!!!

Find one which hasn't been used quite so much. The fit will be much tighter.

Pointer (depends on finger size...some people have sausage fingers...not me) finger fits under the bracelet when I am indoors...

Loosely loose for me. Fit a finger under the clasp.

Boaters · 13 May 2016, 01:37 PM

Get a Glidelock problem solved perfect fit

TimeToWatch · 13 May 2016, 01:43 PM

Enough for a pinky to fit under the bracelet

Cimballi · 13 May 2016, 02:38 PM

A bracelet set too loose wears out faster.

I wear it tight, so it stays put and never moves. If you choose to wear it loose and floppy, you will prematurely wear out the bracelet links.

dominic.warren · 13 May 2016, 10:06 PM

My sports watches I tend to wear a bit loose. My dress watches I like to be a bit tighter where they can move an inch or 2 but not turn.

THC · 13 May 2016, 10:40 PM

Love that JJ pic... Hall of Fame right there... I have a summer fit and a winter fit...

douglasf13 · 13 May 2016, 10:45 PM

High and tight.

ronin_ph · 13 May 2016, 10:50 PM

I like a little wiggle when I shake my wrist.

My thought: if you can't make it loose enough using the easy link, then you may be wearing your bracelet too tight.

I like my bracelet to be loose enough to where you can see daylight at the bottom if you extend your wrist forward making a fist, and then if you open your hand, the skin just touches the metal.

MCO1 · 13 May 2016, 10:56 PM

I lean to side of loose more than tight but I don't like it so loose it can circumnavigate my wrist. On my Explorer I think the easylink is out more than in especially this time of year.

iliketime · 13 May 2016, 11:13 PM

recently got a rash from a watch bracelet (not my rolex) and with summer approaching ive loosened all bracelets one notch. enough to fit an index finger, up to the second knuckle

Axl · 13 May 2016, 11:18 PM

Tight. I can barely fit a pinky under the bracelet.
