Typically at least once a day. It's great.

As I mentioned in my thread I use the glidelock on a daily basis. This has really helped me maintain a great fit on the wrist and balancing the weight of my SD43...it's hard to imagine getting a watch without the 2mm micro adjustment at this point.

I don’t use the Glidelock regularly. However it does allow you to fine adjust the bracelet for the perfect fit where an extra link installed is too loose while a link removed is too tight.

Living in the tropics I couldn't imagine not having the glide lock, between being in the water to the air conditioning it's a vital feature. I can't stand having a loose fit or even worse too tight!

When I’m wearing my DSSD I use it all the time-it should be put on all Rolex watches!

I use mine occasionally. Moreso in the summer. It is great to be able to make those fine adjustments when necessary.

I never use it either. My watch always fits good regardless if it’s freezing in the winter or smoldering in the summer. With that said, I still think it’s a great feature.

I just got a 97200 bracelet for my Explorer. I absolutely love the Glidelock. I’ve used it a couple times a day at minimum since I got it.

I have a wide wrist, so the extra length of the clasp actually helps center the watch on my wrist.

Hardly ever. Maybe 3 times a year. I don’t wear a heavy Rolex when it’s 95° out for comfort reasons. Got a perfect fit and don’t mess with it much.

I use it a lot with the YG sub. Helps to control the weight, having the proper adjustment. With my Sub C I don't use it as much.

I use mine sparingly but enough to appreciate it. I've been using it more lately with the weather changes from Michigan to Florida, back and forth lately.

Never but it’s nice to have. Even the fliplock quick adjustment I don’t use.

I use mine quite often. Not necessarily daily, however when traveling and hiking it comes in very handy especially when there’s a lot humidity. A phenomenal feature IMO.

Am I alone in this? It’s summer in the south and my wrists swell like crazy over the course of a day.
At least 4.5 times a day on average

Never ever used it for it's intended purpose as I don't need to due to the way I wear my watches.
To me it's basically superfluous.

I have used it to demonstrate the function, once and once only in the last 8 years or so since I've owned the DSSD.
You can't really blame me for doing the demo thing, as the DSSD is the cream of the crop when it comes to a Glidelock function though
