How tight do you wear your straps/bracelets?

Never tight. I would feel like I have a dress neck tie on my wrist.

E - I always try to find the perfect fit. Sometimes it’s achievable on the original bracelet/strap, sometimes it’s not

For light watches, loose is fine. For bulky, heavier watches I prefer it on the tighter side if the perfect fit is not available.

I have to always have my strap fit so it doesn’t move at all but also my hand doesn’t go numb

Even a moderately loose fit tends to revolve around my wrist, so if I can't get perfect, I'll go slightly tight. Bracelets with on the fly adjustment are a great invention.

I don't like jingle jangle. But equally, when I look at a wrist shot, I don't like to see the flesh being squeezed inwards.. For me, the perfect fit allows the wrist line to flow, the bracelet should be just loose enough to follow your contours without pinching. If I flex my wrist, it shouldn't feel restrained in any way.

The wrist watch was first intended to be worn above the bumpy bone. there it could feel taught, not quite snug. If you wanted a loose feel for a while, just slide it down below the bump :)

I like mine Snug and Comfortable !

I try to aim for the most comfortable fit the bracelet/strap allows for with my hand open, when the wrist is the largest. This ends up being every so slightly loose when my fist is closed. I can't stand wearing a steel bracelet if it squeezes my wrist for half of the day. Likewise, seeing wrist shots of people wearing their watch too tight is a big pet peeve. 👀

I don't mind it a bit loose as long as it gets a bit tighter with the heat from your wrist, to me there's nothing worse than if it's moving around all day 😃

I have a smaller wrist (6.25"), so I typically have to remove most of a bracelet's links to find a good fit. And because of that size difference, watches are more likely to feel unstable/top-heavy, so I can't stand the fit to be loose. Given all this you'd think I'm frequently experiencing a wrist strangled by over-tight bracelets. But weirdly, I've actually managed to nail a comfortable, above-the-joint fit in most cases?

I was under the impression they were supposed to stay a bit before the wrist bone (and it should act like something like a barrier for them). I always find it weird when I see a person wearing their watch in this manner, as it looks slightly tilted.

Like for clothes, I absolutely hate when it looks like I stole my father's watch. Unfortunately for me the perfect fit doesn't really exists as I have very flat top of the wrist and can't have a watch sitting well on it if I don't tight it.

Thanks to the rubber straps I can have something really comfy and well fotted

I prefer to have it a bit loose, just in case I bloat up during the summer heat

I find that on silicone straps, the 4th hole seems to be the "just right" fit. On NATO straps, it's the 3rd hole. On bracelets, I find that removing 2 links from the max length seems to be just the right fit.

Under all of these circumstances, the "right fit" is tight enough to keep the watch in its correct position, without cutting off my circulation, or causing my wrist to sweat.

I always makes sure a finger can fit between the strap.

Ask again in the winter and I might answer perfect fit or nothing but it's too hot rn

My general guideline is you should be able to insert a finger into the bracelet with the clasp closed. But not two fingers.

Never tight, just a tad loose.

My fit check requires one index finger to easily slide between the strap/bracelet and my wrist at the buckle/clasp. This always proves to be a comfortable fit for me.

I have come to the realization that I cannot be satisfied, ever, on fit of a bracelet. I have tried, many times, and always failed. It’s straps for me. But I’m still always just . . . a . . . little . . . unhappy. I am thrilled with the watches in my collection. Ah, but the exact fit of straps . . . The torture is without end.
