Sizing of watch band
Does anybody else like wearing their watch loose like a bracelet?

Nope. Looks silly to me (and kills the bracelet).

As a heterosexual man, I would have to say no. Although, I know many women do this.

It is for women only. It is part bracelet and part watch.

NO WAY! My YG President band would suffer from too much stretch. I tried wearing my GMT loose when I first got it (probably saw it worn that way in a Miami Vice episode) and the sharp lugs tore up everything they touched. I immediately tightened it up.

Nope
for me either.
Just a little lose to accommodate temperature and position changes which causes my wrist to change size slightly.

As I woman, I think it's silly too to wear your watch like a bracelet...
If you want a bracelet, buy a bracelet. No reason to "kill" the watch!

John, this is my opinion as well. Also the thought of having to pay over £5,000 for a new bracelet on a DD was also a contributing factor.

I would not wear it that way. As stated by others, to much damage to the bracelet.

My mom wears hers loose, despite my recommendations against doing so.

No. Uncomfortable, causes undo stress on the links, and tends to keep the auto movement from staying wound.
