How snug?
How snug do you like your watch to hug your wrist?

Nostalgia. Growing up seeing people and in the movies wear their gold watch loosely on their wrist, looked really cool to me.

Sqeeeeze a pinky. I can’t stand to have it slide down onto my wrist. Would rather it be tighter in the morning and use the ez link later. Or i carry a toothpick in my wallet for a 5 digit piece.

The JJ test

Google “JJ Irani TRF” - the rest of your day will be shot laughing at his pithy humor.

Alas, the final ones were touching as we lost him some years ago to pancreatic cancer.

Pinky as mentioned by others. This way once my wrist swells a bit moving around etc the watch sits still on the wrist.

With link extension let out and unswelled wrist, just loose enough to slide a tiny bit.

I never knew about this one pinky two pinky thing. So I guess that means I wear mine tourniquet style.

Can someone elaborate on why two pinkies for pm?

So how do we determine what is slightly loose vs moderately loose?
I may have voted incorrectly...
Can we get a Judge and a recount?

Behind wrist bone, snug enough it can’t move around a single millimeter.

Ditto! Also as I have smaller wrists, it just works better overall. I hate when the watch fall under the wrist bone, or too far behind. SNUG for me!
