How tight / lose do you wear you watch?

Hi

Recently broke my wrist and my watch just hasn't felt right since. Feels very tight and leaves a mark when I take it off. To be honest I can't remember if it did before I broke it and now it just feels a bit uncomfortable.

This made me wonder how people wear there's? Do I need to add an extra link or stick with it. Hoping my wrist is just a bit swollen still.

Appreciate peoples thoughts.

It sounds like your wrist is swollen still.

Is there any micro adjustment you can make in the clasp to get you through this period until your wrist is back to normal?

Not sure to be honest. Any tips on how the micro adjustment works and how to tell if the clasp has this?

After a wrist fracture there is scaring of the soft tissues as well as new bone production around the fracture site that will likely make your wrist permanently bigger in circumference. Just curious how old the fracture is at this point. If it's more than three months old the likelihood is that it will not reduce in size much.

Thanks for this, the fracture occurred about 6 or 7 weeks ago. Cast came off on Tuesday. So I'm hoping it will reduce in size a bit more, although it's not noticeably swollen.
