When it's cooler, they tend to be quite a bit smaller. It has certainly caused a lot of annoyance with me when it comes to sizing watches. Another thing that can also make a large impact is your sodium intake (too much = excess swelling) and also your hydration status.
DITTO. Damn Texas heat and humidity. It's why I can't wear my BlackBay on a bracelet. And why I'm trying to figure out how to get a Glidelock on my Explorer2.

During the warmer months, my wrists shrink and swell. I have a five digit Explorer II. During the cooler months (about eight months a year around here), I leave the five digit bracelet on. I bought a 97200 glidelock and use it almost every day in the summer.

Good luck.

I get significant wrist swelling too. Use the easy link an awful lot in the summer. Tending to wear a rubber strap more this year. Hot months make wearing watches without easy adjustability a bit less appealing. BB58 is currently benched...

This happens to me regularly - going from outside temps of 90-100+ to inside air-conditioning blasting cold air. DD bracelet is sized to accommodate the higher temps (or lots of sodium laced meat-lover’s pizza). I just get used to a little bit of looseness.

Anyone else have trouble with their wrist swelling this much? Pain in the arse on the 5 digits.

My wrist is exactly one notch wider every morning. Yours looks like 2 or even 3 notches wider on the glidelock system scale.

Woow, that's a big difference.
My wrist is a bit smaller in the morning but doesn't grow much.

I wear a Rolex 116610LN with glidelock but never have to use it, because it's always in the right position, haha

There may be more going on here though. He said his wrists are swelling but that it's a real pain in the arse. Hmm...
