How tight do you wear your AW?

[Strangedream]

Personally when I wear a leather strap, I like my watch to be nice and snug so it barely moves on my wrist. For big heavy metal bracelets, like my SB link bracelet, I wear it looser. Sport bands would be medium tight as in not loose enough to slide freely but not too tight to cut off my blood circulation.

Funny thing, I also noticed today that my SB link bracelet (with 4 links) fitted me perfectly a couple days ago but feels loose now.

How about you guys?

People say I wear mine too tight but fir me any looser and it will feel like it’s coming off

I wear it snug. But never tight to the point where I can visibly see my skin being bunched up and wrist squeezed. I’ve seen some really tight pictures here and wonder how it doesn’t cut off their blood flow 😅

Loose enough that I am able to slide my pinky finger under the hand. Using the Nike band here.

Pinkie finger here. No bunching, no movement up and down.

Apple have a handy guide for that, incase you were wearing it wrong. https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT204665

Normal wristwatch tightness, I would say.🤔

Thanks, I've been looking for something like this without any luck.
Interesting how they updated this guide in September 2019 but didn't mention Ti as one of the component of the sport band.

Maybe no Ti in the band.

I would be concerned about nerve compression wearing a watch too tightly. Won’t notice it at first, can take time to develop. I had that problem with my S0 when I first got it 4 years ago. I found a slightly looser fit that caused no compression problems but allowed the sensor on the Watch to work fine. I use the same fit with my new S5 and the sensors work fine on it too. The Watch just moves a bit when I wiggle it.

Pretty loose I guess. I prefer it that way. It may change, as I have had my watch for 2 weeks, and not worn a watch otherwise for 15 years.

I wear it a little snug. Just my preference. My hand turned a little blue yesterday but I’m sure that was just a confidence.

Medium for every day use. Snug when I'm excercising (and want more accurate HRM readings).

That means for me (42mm Nike S2 S/M band), 3rd hole for normal use, 4th hole for excercise.

4th hole S/M sport band? Dude I think we have the same size wrists. Are yours 150mm?

Your wrist will swell at times when you retain and lose water. Plus if you wear a watch metal bracelet a little tighter, there will be very mild stretch. All perfectly normal.

I wear my watches loose enough to fit the tip of my forefinger between the band and my wrist.

I like it loose enough to where when I shake my wrist a little it slightly adjusts, but tight enough where it’s not rotating around my wrist.

Until you asked, I had no idea. But I was curious, so I measured. My left wrist is 6.5", or about 165mm. I have the Nike band and I think it has more holes than the regular Apple sports band.

I tighten it until it’s too tight, then I loosen it up a bit. 😜

With the magnetic metallic bands I tend to wear them too loose and the watch starts rotating too far around my wrist. With the sport band it feels almost too tight at first but then I don't notice it the rest of the day and the watch stays perfectly in place.
