I can see some slight daylight between my skin and bracelet.

One finger. Had to have a link added and now it doesn't fit centered on my wrist. (drives me crazy) But I usually wear it 24/7.

How tight do you wear your watch?

Some watches tighter than others. Generally has to be tight enough just to move up and down about 1 inch.

One big toe, I like it a little loose so on a hot day when my wrist swell up two inches it won't be too tight.

Interesting to see the disparity but sounds like most wear it relatively tight. I'm on that end of the spectrum at least. The 5mm ez link is something I utilize a lot though I find. Sounds like thee sub c glide lock is a better design for those micro micro adjustments.

would love to try a Glidelock one day, it sounds like a great feature.

I prefer it snug enough that the watch stays more or less centered on my wrist. I can't stand having to flip it into position to read the time or jiggling my arm throughout the day because it doesn't feel right in the position its in.

I can get the pinky under there but if I put my arm out the band does not hang down. There will be a vague imprint when I take it off but it's gone in a minute or two. It's the most comfortable for me. I find a loose watch quite uncomfortable actually, and of course in the long run it's not good for the band or the movement.

My oyster band is always somewhat tight on me (barely any wiggle) and my jubilee bands are usually a little less tight but still barely any wiggle.

Depends. In cooler weather I prefer it snug. In warmer weather I like it looser- wrist swells up a bit and when I get sweaty it's uncomfortable.

I like it tight enough so it doesn't shift on my wrist but not so tight that I am loosing circulation...

The watch looks much better when its centered on your wrist and not flopping around.

I'm somewhere in the middle of the 5mm ez link. But usually end up going with it slightly on the tight side...
