I have a pretty small wrist, so I usually wear mine pretty snug.  I allow for some movement for sure, but I dont like when they're too loose.  Wearing them a bit tighter also helps prevent unnecessary dings!

Not to loose, not to tight...must be just right:D   My best fitting bracelet is my Omega Seamaster with 2 half links...No slip slide stays in place.....Temperature plays a big part in my fit...

I adjust all my bracelets and straps so the i can easily slide a finger under it. They seem to fit best that way on me.

It depends on whether the bracelet has half links...so they either fit perfect or slightly loose...either way works for mehand6.gif....but I never wear them tight:D

Slightly loose if possible, otherwise the bracelet comes off and they go on a strap!

I like them to slide so when my arm is down the watch slides out from the cuff and is in plain sight when I wear long sleeves .....I dont like them so loose that they try to flip ....

It depends on how heavy the watch head is as well as the balance of it on the wrist. If when wearing it a little loose I am constantly flipping my wrist to center it, I either find a way to get it right, or sometimes it will mean getting rid of the watch. You guys will see that at least 90% of all my watches are on bracelets. I have never really gained a passion for straps, though it's changing a little now that the ones I do have are on dual deployants. That gives them more of the feel and behavior of a bracelet to me.

Semi-loose as well; got to be able to get at least one finger in between the wrist and the bracelet.

Cheers

So is that how one gauges the right amount of looseness - with one finger? I normally use two but I am finding my new Black Monster to be a little too top heavy for only two fingers.  The case keeps slipping over the top of my wrist - not all the way around mind you - but just over the top or down to the bottom - never stays centered at all. I find this annoying.  The bracelet is high quality but also very heavy and it keeps slipping three inches or so up my arm. So I guess I'll have to remove one more link or switch to a strap. Anyone else have this problem with a Monster or similar watch?
