Do you prefer a tight or loose fit on your wrist?

In Texas it's pretty hot so I wear metal bracelets just a little loose. Now if it's a nato I'm going to wear it tight.

Doc understands, I live in Carrollton (borders Dallas) and summer is brutal at some points.

I like it loose but not too much. Too tight make me feel like someone hugging my wrist all the time

I like my tight enough that it doesn't walk up and down my wrist, but lose enough that its not cutting circulation off either. Its a fine line between to loose and to tight for me.

Nothing beats that sweet spot, gotta love a watch with micro adjustment, but to answer I'd rather have a bit lose than too tight.

I like a tight fit, the feeling of a watch slithering around on my wrist is weird as hell and I like feeling secure.

What he said......too loose no good but should not be printing the skin with strap / bracelet marks

I prefer the right fit. Not too tight and not too loose. Generally room left to fit a finger in between the bracelet and the wrist.

Wow! I'm surprised to hear how many people prefer loose fit. I was always told the general rule of thumb was the perfect fit is when you can fit comfortably fit your index finger between your watch and wrist.

For me the loosest possible configuration that does not allow the watch to slide along my wrist when I move my arm about. Works well.
