I've always been struggling with this. Sometimes I prefer it to be so tight that it can't move, sometimes I'd like it to be able to wiggle around a bit. So there's my question: How tight does everyone wear their watch?

How tight should a watch be around your wrist?

I don't like mine tight. I like just a little room for movement, but I don't like it loose either where it is falling up and down your arm. I've seen people wear them tight, loose or like I do. I guess it's whatever is comfortable to you.
tight enough so that when you shake your hand, the watch doesnt move
But not tight enough that it constricts your wrist

A rule of thumb I use is I if I cant fit one finger underneath my wrist and it be snug its about perfect
To me every watch is different, but mostly I use this rule: watches with bracelets must be lose enough to let the watch slightly move on the wrist, watches with strap must be a bit tighter.
However the right choice is whatever you feel comfortable

If it's a strap whatever you like is fine. If it's a bracelet it should be snug enough that the links don't move around as this causes premature wear to the bracelet.

I would say it depends on how you like them really... I mean before, like 5-6 years ago, when I wear it with bracelet, I like it loose and it can almost reach the middle of my palm. But now, I like it snug and fit that there's not much room for movements, just enough to have bloodflow on my hands. :

To me, the index finger must fit comfortably between the wrist and clasp. I use that method because normally, the watch doesn't slide too much backward into the forearm, and it doesn't slide forward into the wristbone (it either stays on top of the wristbone or behind it). Also, I don't use it extremely tight, because in warm weather the skin kind of swells and makes it even tighter.
I wear mines so that it can easily slide back and forth across my wrist bone, but slightly. I don't like mines too tight. That is bracelet or strap.
for me, if the watch cant roll over your wrist its good, but as long as i can still put one of my finger in

That is exactly how I wear it, on bracelet a bit loose and on a rubber or leather strap pretty tight.
