Best practice sizing bracelet with micro adjustment.
What is the proper way to size bracelets at room temp 72F with micro adjustments? I live in climate where it's mostly warm-hot and winter lasts for couple of months a year.
Before you size the bracelet which of the following settings do you recommend?
Please leave a comment if you have additional thoughts.

I've no idea what the temperature has to do with it, but the way to size a bracelet is to put the watch on, see if it's too tight or too loose, then tighten or loosen it the appropriate amount. Rinse, repeat if necessary. Seasonally adjust if necessary.
Get the size correct with the links first. Micro adjust as needed depending on weather and if you want to wear it tight or loose.
I'm very middle of the road and would give myself adjustments either way.
So like @SpecKTator says, but start with your micro-adjust at the mid point, size with the link removal/addition to your comfort level and there you go.
I was just thinking this too. Ideally I think to put the micro adjustment about a quarter of the way out so you can still open it up 3/4 and then size the bracelet links.
This way if your wrist shrinks you can pull it in tighter however as summer is around the corner, you provide your a lot more room to let it out and that flexibility might just come in handy
Maybe revisit when winter comes and you can just put a link in or out to account for coldee temps.
Now for me, I'm wondering if the if the clasp placement when fully out or in makes a difference when sizing the links
