is this too tight / normal?

[sager]

Wow that is tight. It would drive me nuts.

Thanks. I just took it to the AD and they let out the bracelet a bit in the clasp. Seems much better now. I like it tight but it was ridiculous. Feel much better. And can alway get it taken in if my wrist shrinks back. Thanks everyone

It looks a bit too snug for my liking.

I'm surprised your hand is still attached to your wrist.

let's see it and get closure for everyone here........

Too tight

[Yurigs]

Depends on personal preference. I actually like it that tight or should I say, I don't mind it when my wrist swells.

[RolexAviator]

way too tight... I like my watches snug but not to that point

[landroverking]

Yup

[TK-710]

These responses are eye opening to my own wearing habits. Apparently I wear mine too tight. I don't like any side to side or up and down movement in a watch. I'm looking at my wrist and the OPs pics and not seeing much difference.

I was at a doctor appointment the other day and the doctor wore his watch so loose that it could freely spin 360 around his wrist and slide up and down several inches. I was so distracting. I desperately want to cinch it down.

OP I believe you are the only one who can answer your question. Wear it how you like.

[Bigblu10]

Nobody here can honestly say either way because only you are wearing your watch. If it feels comfortable to you, who is to say what is right or wrong. I wear mine tight, and my bracelets last for years with minimal wear. And that "pinky rule" is just a made up falsehood. There are no rules with bracelet fitment. It is a personal thing.

[Bryant Park]

Not to be Darwinian but:

A) It hurts
B) My Fingers Are Blue
C) I can't feel my fingers
D) I am only reminded of it when I need the time or want to admire it

A,B,C watch is tight
D good to go

Or what Bigblu10 said because he is typically spot on.

[Spoonage]

I wear many of my watches that tight. I hate the feeling of a watch flopping around on my wrist... Yes I know you can make it slightly looser and still not flop around. Just my preference. If you feel comfortable with the watch that tight then it is not too tight.

The most often provided guide that I see here on fitment is a pinky finger should be able to fit between the bracelet and your wrist.

You're going to give yourself a blood clot. Add a link!

[LuminousMaximus]

If you had a Submariner with the Glide-Lock you would not have that problem...

It's just a matter of which is the better model for you...

[Bok88]

I think, it is really tight. Looks like you are cutting off some blood circulation there. Wear mine little loose.

[petteragers]

Extremely nice clock you have it sits 110% where it should be I can not see that the time the tie tightens at all you should tighten the den by taking 2 joints when it's time perfect fit i even carry all my watches tighter a dei on the pictures daily and corresponding 2 paragraphs less and some clearer prints crater detailed in the skin one on the picture is the other out there who have seen or even wears the clock just as tight or stiffer plis enter and tell pictures thank you.

[Rentalcarman]

There really is no normal in my opinion. You have to wear it how you feel comfortable. While others may think it looks too tight or too far on the wrist, truly it has to be "comfortable" for you. Which means wear it how you like. You obviously don't want it so tight that leaves huge indentations and your hand turns purple. You also don't want it so loose that it spins and bangs in to things. The only way to wear it is the way you like it and in good health :)

[ian.thomas]

Nice watch!

[milwins]

I think you could take out a link or two

[petteragers]

extremely nice bell you have it sits 110% where the den is going to be, i can not see the bell tight at all, you should tighten it by taking 2 joints so that the wrist watch is very tight on your wrist i carry myself all my wrist watch tighten than di the picture daily, corresponding to 2 joints less and a very strong impression crater detailed in the skin, than your wrist is the other out there who has seen wearing the wrist watch, just as tight or tighter, write and tell, pictures please be so kind

[luvsub]

Yes

The first pic seemed ok.
But all the other pics clearly showed it to be a little too tight. Speaking from personal experience.

Others may prefer this style of fitment, but it absolutely doesn't work for me and is fundamentally problematic.

Too tight for me, but a buddy of mine wears his like this. It's personal preference.

[Md001]

Not comfortable enough for me, with time the marks could be worse, i feel its too tight on you though.

[mrk pixben]

Its really tight on you.

[lenfried29]

this is over one year old post

[Droolex]

Agree with other members. Looks a little tight.
