Snugger than loose, but looser than snug.

Initial sizing with glide lock just a hair loose. Glide lock set in the center. I can either tighten or loosen depending on the amount of cold Sam Adams I have consumed using the super nice glide lock system. Rolex should incorporate that on all of their oyster bracelets. Just my humble opinion.

Aloha from Kauai.

On my Hulk I wear it both ways depending on the day and how I feel. I love the new Glidelock clasp. Wish it was on all my watch bracelets.

Fairly firm, it is not able to rotate around on my wrist; however, it can slide up an a couple of inches when I am typing at the computer (I have to push it up, I do this so the clasp doesn't hit the keyboard).

I wear mine on a Horween Shell Cordovan NATO, and it is snug.

I've also been told the same about wearing it snug from an A.D. I wear mine snug -- not because of what I was told, but because it's most comfortable.

Snug but not tight. Enough to adapt from hot to cold and vice versa.

One finger under the bracelet works for me
I also like to switch the bracelet out with a strap, such as a Bond 007 Zulu.
Too tight is uncomfortable, too loose tends to pull hair.

Cheers

I wear mine snug. When I put it on in the morning, it's slightly loose. I just ate crawfish and the sodium has made it a little past snug.

My DSSD I wear tight however all my other watches I wear somewhat loose, basically to the point where they travel an inch to two up past my wrist.

In the middle. I wear mine just snug enough not to readily move, but not so tight as to be uncomfortable and not so loose as to slide up and down my arm more has to say an inch or so. I prefer it to be just snug enough that if I need to move it further than that I use my opposite hand to readjust it.
