Glidelock Vs 93160A

I love the glidelock bracelet and especially the micro adjustment for when the wrist swells but I find the 93160A bracelet to be more comfortable. I think it's a combination of the 93160A being lighter and the clasp being stamped which makes it more comfortable on my wrist. Anybody else feel this way?

I like the engineering design of the Glidelock, it is a thing of beauty.

As to comfort, most of my watches have the old Tuna can clasp and are quite comfortable. I really do not see any true comfort advantages to the new clasps.

I agree, the only thing I miss when moving between the two is the micro adjust on the glidelock. I work out in the morning and train Brazilian Jiu jitsu in the afternoon so my wrist changes size quite a bit through the day.

I like both but I find the glidelock more comfortable with its length on my wrist. Perhaps it's weight adds to the balance and in turn feels more comfortable. I seldom adjust the glidelock.
