How "loose" do you wear your Rolex watches?

[steptoe]

Where your watch whatever way you find comfortable, not whatever suits someone else.

After all, you don't ask someone else if your shoes fit you.

Good comment. I wear mine snug (can barely fit the pinkie in there) but that's how I like it.

Wear it however you want. There is no proper way to wear your watch. Just do what feels comfortable to you. The glidelock is a great way to find out how you truly like to wear your watch, because you can mess with it so quickly and easily. But, as most others have said, I like it right in the middle of tight and loose, I can slide a finger under the clasp with a little pressure.

Almost slightly tight... But it never bothers me...

Depends how you like to wear them to. There are no set rules and everyone has different preference. Some like to wear really tight and some really loose. For me I want to to be able to fit finger between so just right.

snug, with a bit of movement depending upon external conditions (humidity, heat, etc.)

[mfserge]

I like it tight.

What about your watch

All the innuendos aside!! I like mine tight, no wiggle room at all.. I mean who doesn't like it tight!

[Sixshooter]

I used to wear my watches loose and below the wrist bone, but I started wearing them above and a bit more snug and much prefer them that way. About half a pinkie under the clasp here as well.

Not all of your pinky, just the tip.

[regnant]

I wear it kinda loose too , I don't bother with other adjustments like glide lock .I remove 1 link off the bracelet and call it a day

[blue lion]

Tons of threads on this. I wear mine very loose.

[Rustynuts]

The bracelet should be worn just tight enough so the watch will move with the motion of the wrist. If it is worn too loose, the watch won't wind as efficiently, and if the bracelet is constantly rattling around, extra wear is bound to occur.

Half a pinkie finger under the clasp. Not a full finger - just about half.

[dysondiver]

i wear mine loose ,,, but face in , and find it comfy.
just do what pleases you.

[moorery2001]

I don't wear my watch loose at all.

[Corsair66]

Snug, but comfortable. In other words, sufficiently tight as to prevent it from rotating at all, but not so tight as to cause any discomfort.

[crc45]

Anyone mind sharing pictures from the underside of their wrist?

[zengineer]

Believe it or not, I wear them the same as my other brand watches.

[johnnyjazz]

Snug. Don,t like anything rattling when swimming.

[HogwldFLTR]

What ever feels most comfortable. A bit loose in my case is tolerable. Any thing to tight is really annoying!!!

[Chocblackie]

I like mine snug and fitting.

Mine has to be slightly loose, when my wrist flexes or I contract my forearm muscle it’s painful if even a little snug.

Judging by your avatar, I think it's because your watch is below the wrist bone, rather than sitting just above it, so that it can be snug and not move around (and also not dig into the back of your hand and limit wrist flex.)

Oddly enough, I think this is what has partially contributed to larger watches becoming popular. People started "sagging" watches a little loose below the wrist bone, so it makes the watch look smaller close to the hand, rather than the traditional way of wearing it snug above the wrist bone on the smaller part of the wrist:

It is below the wrist bone, if worn higher it's even worse as my forearm muscle flexes..

Not tight but not too loose. A bit of movement on the wrist.

[CoachLange]

Slight bit of movement here. Many years ago I preferred loose but that's changed. Seems much more comfortable not having it slip around.
