how often do you adjust your glidelock?

thanks

The submariner, sea dweller and DSSD have what is called a glide lock clasp which allows the wearer to adjust the length of the bracelet in 2mm increments over 10 positions without tools. It's designed to be used as a divers extension but I believe that most people use it as an "on the go" adjustment as your wrist swells and contracts throughout the day, or through the seasons.

I would personally never go back to a bracelet without this sort of mechanism, the ability to adjust the bracelet without tools is mandatory now that I've lived with it.

Pretty often.

often

Two or three times in three years.

It is a neat feature, no doubt. I adjusted mine back and forth for about 2 days until I found the right spot. Haven't moved it since.

[JoelUlrich]

Probably once per season.

Depends on the temperature and activity level. Sometimes never, sometimes 2-3 times throughout the day.

Once a day for sure. It got very tight today as I was walking plus today, after eating myself into a state of self-loathing last night, felt like I was really "rocking the bloat." Not that Rolex needs another reason to market this great clasp...

I like my watches perfectly snug, so I usually adjust it once a wear.

[NYCREBROKER]

A couple times a day.

[Danny83]

Every couple weeks

Almost never since I got mine three months ago.
