The closer it is on my wrist, the less likely I am to bang it on something.

Snug if you wear it lose you can accelerate the "stretching" process of the bracelet I believe.

Snug - I hate when my watch slides over my wrist bone on to the hand.

Snug, but for the opposite reason, I don't like it slipping up onto my arm.

Loose enough so I can slide it up and down my wrist, but not so loose that I can turn it around my wrist.

For you snug guys, aten't you sweating under your bracelet, and when you take it off, there's bracelet marks on your arm?

Loose bracelets cause stretch, so I wear mine snug.

i like snug, but above the wrist bone. unfortunately, my forearms are pretty big, so it always ends up sliding down to my hand, and is loose.
