Does the watch face and clasp always align post adjustment
My watches with a metal bracelet have this problem where if the watch face is in the center of my wrist, the clasp below isn’t in the center of my bottom wrist (does that make sense). this is ofcourse after asjustment. Anyway to correct this? Do others face this problem at well. I don’t have OCD but this irritates me a bit

I know what you're talking about. I had to move links from one side of the clasp to the other to get then somewhat centered. Try playing with the links and half links. You should be able to get it a little better fitted
It is completely unimportant, almost impossible to achieve and you should totally forget about this...Wrists are NOT symmetrical to begin with, and as you use your hands, the watch (and clasp) will always slightly wander.
What IS important is that the watch stays nicely positioned and centered on the top of the wrist where you view it all the time.
Furthermore, if the clasp (of any kind) on the underside of your wrist is centered, it will always hit and scrape your computer or other things. It is much better for the clasp to be slightly turned inwards (towards your thumb) for that reason.
That’s right as well, the clasp always gets more scratches while typing on the comp if it’s right in the center. I think watch companies shud come up with scratch resistant steel or something. I wud prefer that to any other complication
Most clasps themselves are asymmetrical too. no? That is, fild over mechanism is often times longer than the outer portion of the clasp. I usually end up trying to size the bracelet so that the length on either side of the clasp appears the same length when the clasp is closed (usually this means another link on the side of the clasp towards 12 o’clock)
also, the butterfly clasp bracelets that I have usually come with more links on one side of the clasp, has anyone else noticed this? What’s it for?
