Do you wear your Aquanaut loose or snug?
I cut the strap on my first Aquanaut a bit snug and it would feel quite snug on the verge of tight if I got hot.
This 5164R I got I have it a bit loose out of fear of it being too tight once things really heat up this summer. How does everyone else wear their aquanauts?

I tend to wear all my watches snug. Loose fit watches are more prone to damage as it can be hard to predict how the watch will move around with wrist movement.

It's so light it's very comfortable loose and it tightens up a bit in the summer but never snug.

I ordered extra straps for both of mine to accommodate seasonal changes.
i wear them fairly snug, i change the strap at 6oclock to one notch larger in the summer months.

I wear it very snug, if it gets too tight in the summer I’ll get an extra strap.

I definitely wear my watches and my Aquanaut on the loose side (can get a finger between the watch and my wrist). I think that no matter what you choose, you'll get used to it. But the Aquanauts are so light and easy to wear. So I've typically advised starting a little on the loose side. If you try it for a few weeks and can't stand it, cut off another "link" and try again. You can always cut, but you can't glue it back.

Just bought a 5968a. I’ve been wearing it a touch loose expecting the warm season ahead. May size the black for the cooler months and the orange for summer.

I started mine a bit loose and landed up keeping it that way. It accommodates colder and warmer temps without issue.
