That moment when you size the bracelet down one microadjust position and its too tight, but when you adjust it up one position its too loose

[@jaycartwright1170]

happened with mine. took a link out, too tight, put it back in, annoyingly loose.

[@1left2live21]

I am going thru the same issue…. I am done with steel bracelet watches. Rubber or leather band is the way to go.

[@felixito713]

Same here happened for me too, it sucks

[@teleguy5699]

@@1left2live21 That's always been my philosophy, but I finally said I need a proper steel bracelet watch. Especially for Summer. I bought a Steinhart with thankfully a very comfortable, adjustable band. First time I've ever. Adjusted it myself too.

[@rmelo5932]

My preference is wearing a bit loose. If I can slide my pinkie finger under the bracelet easily, it's perfect.

[@americanpaisareturns9051]

I like that Red Orient Homie. Very nice.

[@Boyder497]

Always have to wear my bracelets a little loose because my wrist swells quite a bit, so when I’m inside having a dinner my watch flops more than I’d like, but once I get moving my bracelet will almost be too tight sometimes lol, it’s a never ending battle between two micro adjust slots on my clasps

[@ChronometerCheck]

Yeah, it is definitely a struggle if you live somewhere hot/humid, when going from AC > outside, or the reverse. Have to size for the largest your wrist will swell, or experiment with straps you can adjust on the fly

[@IEdjumacate]

This is why i love rubber straps for everyday wear. Sometimes I feel like metal bracelets can be too “blingy” for more casual outfits & if my wrist swells (which it does a lot like yours), I can easily adjust it on the fly.

[@Vinny_Gigante]

That Mako Cherry Dial hits hard far above than its weight class 🔥👍

[@thinaphonpetsiri9907]

It’s always a tricky things for me to get a right fit because I have a very flat wrist so if I leave any room the watch will roll on my wrist but if I tighten it the watch will be too tight in the afternoon because I live in a very hot climate.

Great vid bro. What Reference is that silver dial orient with the leather strap?? Its gorgeous

[@ChronometerCheck]

Thanks bud. It's the Orient Bambino rn-ak0704

[@JohnCochran-rg4fz]

I live in the Deep South. It’s incredible just how much my wrist size changes throughout the day due to heat, humidity, hydration ect. Gotta be around a 1/4 inch or more difference throughout the day.

[@Ryfrye]

This is a really helpful video for me since I live in the gulf and love the metal bracelet look. Swoop bracelets won’t be so friendly but how do I look if other brands bracelets have the micro adjustments ?

[@ChronometerCheck]

Usually micro adjustments will exist in a deployment clasp style, bt not always the case. You'll have to look up some reviews on a per-watch-basis to make sure

[@ebertfr]

the xp sound is on point

[@tomcartlidge3088]

Hi, Which watch is that on 38 second please if you dont mind me asking? Love that one

[@tonynguyen9582]

Thanks for this

[@navyvet05]

I always liked wearing my watches tight, i liked a good tight fit with no play. But just a couple days ago i decided to go a little on the loose side.

[@ChronometerCheck]

I find when it's warm out I prefer slightly looser

[@KIETTRAN-uj7ry]

Where did you get the Jubilee bracelet for the Orient Kamasu?. It looks amazing with jubilee style❤

[@vegashift]

Amazon!

[@voxaza]

1-2 finger is the best way to have your watch and it's handy having watch bracelets that have quick adjust (no tools required)

[@BeezerWashingbeard]

All of these are mutually exclusive for me 😅 A looser fit that doesn't cut my wrist off, is a fit that slides up and down my arm.

[@jbj101jbj]

this is actually good advice. but with the micro adjustments you dont need a special tool. (secrets given away) just use a safety pin or blunt needle to push the bar end in on one side and slide it across 1 spot then do the same to the other side. repeat again for 2 holes adjustment and again for 3. i work on watches and at times i do use a safety pin :) and they work in many ways for watch repairs too

[@Wulf_Cabellon]

what is the name of the first watch you showed? thanks!

[@keyboard.grinder]

Hamilton Khaki field mechanical 38mm

[@josesiam2631]

I struggle with this all the time 😅. I still have really figured out what is the right way. So your say one finger? Or two fingers? And it should fit under the band easily?

[@hectorarredondo9277]

That’s a nice orient! What band is that?

[@zackparler8915]

What was that darker faced orient? That thing looks nice

[@punchgod]

I think this guy likes orient

[@luchoc602]

yeah. sometimes we cant do anything about it. I got several that dont have micro adjustments and if i take another link itll be too tight but if I dont take it off its too large.. ugh

[@daddydom8441]

Brother please link that jubilee bracelet for the kamasu I have the same exact one and I’d like to put that bracelet on it

[@gonchanli]

Whats that 3rd watch your showed?? The grey one?

[@ounkeo]

I wear it loose because I live in tropocal climate. If it fits properly, not only will my wrist swell, but it also sweats a lot and becomes very uncomfortable.

[@AngelofJustice412]

Anybody else experience this weird phenomenon where your watch fits perfectly after a good meal and then gets looser when you get hungry 😂

[@miggygetright6344]

When I lived in Barcelona in the winters my wrist was very small, now back home my wrist is thicker and my watch fits much better, I have a small wrist.

[@ATypicalDayHere]

what bracelet is that ?

[@elguapo7970]

What is that orient, not the red, but the one with the dark smokey dial??? It's a beaut.

[@john-tomlinson]

I wear my watches as you do, but looser is not wrong if the person like it like that. Especially for a watch with a nice bracelet, loose can give off a cool insouciant vibe. Looser with a cloth or leather strap is bad though.

[@guycyber1584]

I wear my watch before the wrist bone but when I shadowbox (for instance) it starts to loosen up and ends up after the wrist bone

[@msquared6695]

I have to adjust the rubber band on my Oris Aquis several times a day

[@jesuschrist8069]

IMO the watch should be able to move a little bit

[@SubaruWRC1996]

It can't move but it's on the tighter side. I can't get my finger inbetween but can freely move my hand around

[@erykooo5582]

Wow thx for telling me how to tighten or loosen the metal watch but the problem is that I dont have the tools for doing it 😢

[@DoSe420]

Amazon, strap changing tool. Under $10 or you can buy kits and all that stuff. I don't own any of it, but I might buy the tool since it costs the same price at the mall to adjust

[@paulogarcia9739]

Here is the more complicated answer: It heavily depends on the watch. That means size, weight, the size of the links for bracelet watches, as well as the available adjustment options on the bracelet like microadjustments. Most of these descriptions of a "properly fitting" watch won't do you much good if your watch doesn't have enough options for customizing fit for different wrist shapes and sizes. Take Casio edifice, for example. you are more likely to find a sweet spot between too tight and too loose because they have 4 microadjustment holes. But for watches that have only 1 microadjustment or no microadjustment at all, that "sweet spot" may not even exist for some, and you would either have to settle for something a little tight or something loose.

[@haha-jn1dx]

Does this bracelet come with the oreint kamasu?

[@Kiyllin]

I think it's from strap code

Is your wrist size 6.5 inches?

[@DSM-114]

With my wrist shape, my watch can only be either loose or tight. I've tried removing and link and adding one, and personally, I'd much rather have it loose than skin tight

[@wj6782]

It shouldn't cut off your circulation, or spin around your wrist. Anything else is a matter of personal preference/comfort and environment.

[@colinmurphrey6448]

my gf got me a watch that's difficult to adjust. So I tried getting a different bracelet for it and found that it is neither a 24mm watch nor a 22mm watch. After I've finally decided to try 3D printing a bracelet for it, I've found that it fits a 23mm bracelet and I can't find a bracelet for this anywhere :/ I also couldn't get the watch to be tight enough with this print no matter how I adjusted the file. So now I'm back to square one: A 23mm watch and unable to find a bracelet that fits it :(

[@user-hj5lw6jp9j]

[@dark_antihero]

I wear it tight and then it become loose by the end of the work day. I cant be the only one this happens to right?

[@miguelgarcia6493]

Oh man, after a period of trying out watches I gave up. It’s either too loose where it slides off ever so slightly and then completely but if I tighten it, it becomes too uncomfortable.

[@ChronometerCheck]

Some watches aren't as adjustable as others, unfortunately. Also a smaller, or thinner watch, is generally easier to get a proper fit for

[@ZA1KLONB]

Man I clicked on this video thinking it was talking about what size is perfect for your wrist 😂

[@JasonDeGraw]

Why are there so few divers watches with red dials 😍

[@nyancorp]

Red is one of the worst colours for diver’s watches because under water it quickly fades to almost black. The only colours you still can see at 60m are orange and pink. There is an interesting video that shows how colours change in the water with the depth. However, I own the same red Orient watch, because I like it very much, and I‘m not a diver. 😸

[@ephraim9332]

Whenever I take off my watch you can see an indent of the back of the watch on my wrist.. I can fit 1-2 fingered comfortably under the band, is that normal?

[@ChronometerCheck]

It might be a tad too tight, I'd try loosen one micro adjustment and see how it feels.

Make a how to use the toilet video!

[@Ben-bs4od]

Biggest issue is the chunky weight of most watches now and the lack of good slim lightweight affordable automatic or quartz watches. Watch engineering is so far behind autos, aviation, and computers. Seiko and other mainstream companies just are not able to make a slim watch and there's something just not right about this. Consumers are dumb when it comes to large suvs. But at least sports cars are available for purchase. Watches just don't offer slim outside Skagen and Bering. Why can Scandinavia do this (or China) but everywhere else can't?

Tight for me. And oversized for my 6½ wrist. I wear watches for myself, not for others. Garmin Fenix 6XPro and G-Shock GMW B5000D 1er. Im not offensive saying this but for me a watch is a (survival) tool. The most good looking for me is Orient Bambino but im always glad to see people with much more refined taste!
