How do you wear your watches on bracelets? Tight or loose? On rubber or leather, I wear them snug. On bracelets, I like it slightly loose.

Tight or loose? Your bracelet that is...

I hate a loose bracelet. I'm very active so I can't have the watch flopping all over the place. I hate it when everytime I move my arm it slides down my arm. I just have them snug but not tight so they don't move. and it drives me crazy when I see someone with a loose bracelet, they are constantly shaking their arm so the watch goes back down to their wrist in the right spot.
Loose bracelets drive me nuts, can't do it, won't do it. Snug with enough slack to (barely) fit a finger in between the band and my wrist is perfect for me.
I don't wear straps very often. My bracelets are sized so that one finger can slide between the clasp and my wrist. This is tight enough to prevent unwanted movement while not being too tight. The best bracelet I own is on my Boschett Cave Dweller, with its ratcheting dive extension.
Unless there are half-links it´s either too tight or too loose. So I often have to change to straps for the time being. The one pictured would be much too loose 4me.
If it leaves a mark on my wrist it's too tight. If it slides up to my elbow it's too loose. So, somewhere I between where the watch can slide an inch or so up and down my wrist - also it stops it getting sweaty.
I always wear em snug. I can't stand my watch moving up and down my wrist while I was doing activities.
Btw, please share experience of using heavy watches such as AP s/s ROOs, with slightly loose. I have long wanted to know about this. I think they are super uncomfortable.

If I can get the end of my pinky finger between the case back and the bracelet, I call it good for a bracelet. I have more problems with rubber straps, they never seem to fit just right.
LMPO is a little bit loose, doesn't have the right size for my 7" wrist. But the rest are just nicely fit with a small space so they won't leave a mark on my wrist. I would have to say PAM, BFF, Tudor BB and Breitling SO Abyss have the perfect size bracelet/strap for me.

Bit on the tight side, I just size it tight enough not to move while I'm doing my activities and loose enough not to leave any marks or just minimal marks on my wrist.
Rather tight for me. I cannot stand it if a watch slides up and down the wrist. And if people wear a watch on a bracelet really,really loose I cannot stand it - looks "cheap" to me ( don't know if that is the right expression in English...)

I like it on the tighter side which is sometimes a pain for my 6.25" wrist...
This is why I love the IWC 3777... That quick adjustment on the clasp makes it the most comfortable watch I've ever worn. Great to have some micro adjustment when it gets warmer or colder...

Normally have my bracelet just lose enough to put my index finger between the bracelet and my wrist.
Prefer it to be tight, but not too tight that i leaves deep mark on my skin whenever i take it off. I have a theory if the watch is loose and slides up and down on my wrist there's a high chance i could stuff up the movement's parts inside
