How tight do you wear your watch?
I tend to like mine quite snug... To the point where it leaves an imprint of the bracelet on my wrist. But I'm wondering if that might be too tight. I know the general rule "one finger should be able to fit between your wrist and bracelet" but how do you all wear your watches?

Yes. I can comfortable get one finger under the bracelet of all my watches. Except my beater Luminox. I wear that kind of tight but that is a rubber strap.

One finger works for me. Not sure you can be too tight as long as you don't lose any body parts to loss of circulation. It's your preference.

I've taken the bracelet off and wear it around my neck so it's loose enough!

Tight enough so that it never moves and stays put. Bracelet does leave an imprint on my wrist, but feels perfectly comfortable. It is all personal preference how "tight" it should wrap, so you will get many different opinions.

Just a bit too snug for a finger unless I let out the little adjuster (Explorer II). I can't stand to have it sliding around.

Pretty loose on bracelet, but mostly because of sizing issues (small wrist). On NATO, one finger rule or a bit tighter depending.

One finger unless it's a leather strap then I tend to wear it a little tighter

So the leading edge of the clasp (edge closest to the hand) can be slid about two inches from the hand up the wrist. That way if won't rotate around but allow me to move the watch to different locations on my wrist as I feel the need for comfort.

With the bracelets on 5 digit models, so that it's pretty darned snug when I'm hot & not toooo loose when I'm cold.
For my Sub C, I use the gliiiiiidelock, which gives the perfect fit at all times.

Little finger for bracelet and largely the same for leather band, as long as that does not mean it can rotate more than 5% on wrist hate if the watch can slide to underside of the wrist then it is to lose.

I can just squeeze my index finger under the clasp (but it's uncomfortable to do).

I wear mine loose enough to go up and down slightly on my wrist but not loose enough that it will roll around my wrist

When my body is cold and salt free it does not leave a mark, but does not move... but if I get hot and eat a salty dinner it tells me to open the EZ Link... I don't have to debate it.

Tight for leather & rubber bracelet. Loose so I can insert the top part of my index finger under the metal bracelet.

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.
