Linked on integrated bracelet watches query
Hey guys, hope you’re having a great day. I was just wondering if you could help me with a little question.
I recently just purchased a Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 and I found that due to my wrist size, the best fit requires an odd number of links. So should I add more links at the top half of the watch (above the 12 o’clock), or more links at the bottom half of the watch (below the 6 o’clock)?
Any response will be greatly appreciated👍

Whichever way is most comfortable for you.

First off, wear it however seems best to you, and don’t worry about us or anyone else. That said, I find that an unequal number of links allows the clasp to feel centered on the underside of my wrist, so all of my bracelets are uneven.
Oyster?? 5 links a side with a micro adjustment is perfect, depending on the clasp of course I might need 2 micro adjustments. H-links a tad tighter. That's how I roll!!
Voted for more on 12 o'clock side, less on 6 o'clock side. Of course see how it fits your wrist, but most of the time works out better this way.
Take a picture of it with it on your wrist. Does the clasp system do something interesting like this? I would solve the question by eliminating this kink in the bracelet if it exists before balancing it out.
You know this got me thinking a little bit, I chose more links above, as when I look at my watch, the face is off centre and closer to my thumb side, rather than pinky side, so what im saying is more links above feels right to me.
