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

[Conquerer]

Personally, I like a pretty loose feel. I really hate the feeling of a watch sticking to my wrist so I like to be able to wiggle it and move it around quite easily if need be. I've been experimenting with my CrPO since I got it about a week ago. Over the course of a week, I first took out 4 links, bit tight, replaced one half link with full link, better but still a tiny bit tight, replaced the other half link with a full link and I think it feels just about perfect now. Allows my wrist to breathe a bit without being out of control or anything. Especially in this humidity with my sticky arms...

My current watches for my 6.5" wrist:
Omega CrPO 45mm: 12 full links + 2 full size clasp connection links
Omega SMP 300m 41mm: 9 full links + 1 third link + 2 half size clasp connection links

CrPO:

SMP 300m:

The SMP looks really loose based on that pic, but trust me it's not out of control. Also that's a lighter watch, about half as heavy as the CrPO so it really compensates for the extra looseness and doesn't make it a hassle. I keep the CrPO a bit tighter because it's heavy and not as tame, but it's still pretty loose as well. Love the feel of it since I last made it a tad looser.

I'm curious what everyone else prefers; post some pics of your bracelet/strap fit!

Hi I prefer a loose fit on my wrist but not that loose as on your pics. I feel comfortable if i can put my smallest finger between wrist and the strap.

I hate it if its too tight. My hand feels dizzy at some point and you are sweating more with a tight wrist.

I prefer a tight fit, I hate it when my watch is moving when my hands are moving. Not too tight though, bracelet marks on my wrist means it's too tight.

Really tight for me. I hate when the watch moves itself on wrist. Heat and humidity is not an issue where I live...
Perfect fit is just a little bit looser than the point when fingers turn blue and you can't feel them

tight but not too tight.

Tight.
I have even punched holes in my AP straps for a better fit.
Rolexes are easy to adjust though,which is great if your wrist swells up when it's warm or after exercise.

The only people I've seen wear watches like that are females. I figured it was because they all wear jewelry bracelets loose so they're used to the feel. Personally, that would drive me batshit crazy.

Loose usually one finger fits between the bottom of clasp and wrist. I hate when I sticks to me! In fl it's humid and hot so everything sticks to everything.... It needs some movement to air out the skin.

Tight. Watches, women and corners. If you know what I mean...

I live in a warm place AND my wrist swells up during the day and after exercise, to the point that a tight but comfortable fit after exercise will be too loose when the swelling is gone and the other way around a tight fit when not swollen will be TOO tight after exercise. I feel that leather straps will work better for me.

I don't like the band/bracelet too snug but I don't like it moving around too much either.

I like mine tight. But then my wrist swells and I wish I had a quick adjustment on all of them like the glidelock. Having it move around on my wrists drives me insane.

A nice tight fit, just enough to wrap around the wrist firmly without causing discomfort. If its loosely fit, i think thats where dents tend to occur to me, because it just moves randomly and hits on nearby objects.

awesome response

and yes tight for me as well but not that tight that it leaves marks on the wrist.

On leather tight enough there is no gap. On bracelet just loose enough to get a finger between wrist and bracelet but not loose enough it floats up and down my wrist and round and round OP ypu have yours very very loose I could never do that

When I said this to my girls they always flinched... :rofl:

Tight, to the point I can fit a the tip of my pinkie in. I leave enough room for swelling because I live in Texas and well, I can gain a half inch on a hot day.

I wonder how people wear their cockrings??
