I wear my watch on my left wrist. Currently glide lock is centered and I have 4 full links on the 6 side and 5 full and the 2 half links on the 12 side. When I rotate my wrist upside down the clasp is offset to the right somewhat. It's not uncomfortable but I'm curious. If I wanted to center it up more would I add length to the 12 side or the 6 side to bring it more central. Thanks and I hope this isn't too confusing.

It's a myth that you must center the clasp. If it's comfortable and you like it, it is already where it should be..

I got the exact full links on each side like you, but I got the 1/2 link on the 6 o'clock side instead. It was originally on the 12 o'clock side but found that the clasp was never really centered. So I moved it to the 6 o'clock and all is good.

Thank you for the responses and that helps

I saw somewhere on YT, suggesting to shorten the 6 o'clock by 1 link and moving it to the 12 o'clock side, the watch will flip inwards towards you.

I've found that a watch feels more comfortable and natural with 1 less link on the inner arm side (6 o'clock side, regardless of hand).

My sub never felt right until i moved the half link to the 6 oclock side making it 4.5 links on the 6 side

Thanks for the suggestions so far. I have considered moving the half link from the 12 to 6 just wasn't sure if that would pull the clasp a little more central or push it further to the right.

The less links on the 6 side the less tendency for your watch to rotate clockwise.

You just need to find a comfortable 'balance' point.

Yep. Just got to play and see what works for you.

Exactly this for me too. Moved the half link to the 6 side and it fits perfectly.
