Bracelets - How do you wear them?
Curious to know how everyone likes to wear their watch bracelets, loose or tight?
I like the watch to fit as snug as possible to keep it from moving on my wrist.
Lets hear it!?

Definitely tight! I've already lost a watch due to a loose bracelet. It's at the bottom of a river somewhere in Wisconsin 🥺
I like them loose 😉
I prefer them to be tight enough that the watch doesn't move on my wrist, but at the same time loose enough that it doesn't end up leaving indentations on my skin. I find that if you can just barely fit your little finger between the bracelet and wrist, the fit is just about perfect.
Depends on the weather…

Very true!

That is a hard line to walk my friend!
I used to like them loose but now I wear them a bit tighter. It really depends on the size of the watch and crown. My problem is I have a large forearm and my wrist bone is not very prominent so my watches tend to slide down quite easily
I like mine fairly snug, but not digging in.
Loose. That way I have room in case my wrist expands.

1000% agree with this!

I see! 😮
I have smaller wrists, which I think can be accentuated by a baggy bracelet - it feels like I'm wearing Daddy's shoes! So I like to wear it well fitted - tight but without being restrictive/digging in when I flex my wrist. It can move around a little, but it's definitely not jangly. A little heat will swell my wrist to the point I start to feel resistance when I flex, and that's when I'll extend the micro-adjust/loosen a little.
