How Loose Should a Watch Bracelet be Worn?

▶︎Timepieces for Tomorrow - TimepiecesForTomorrow.com
▶︎My Amazon Store - irixguy.com/amazon
Sizing a watch bracelet properly is super important. I recommend having an authorized dealer size your watch's bracelet. As a rule of thumb (or "pinkie," in this situation), I always make sure that I can slide my pinkie finger between my wrist and bracelet of a sports watch. This provides a little "wiggle room," should my wrist expand or contract while being active. For my dress watches, I don't leave as much of a gap. This is primarily because I'm seldom as active while wearing dress watches and wrist expansion/contraction is minimal. A fitted dress watch looks best! #Watch

Hey. Nice video. I used to wear my watch firmly fitted above my wrist bone with little to no movement. One of the reasons why I changed to a more lose fit is that I have a problem with my wrist bone and nerve. I dont like to add extra stress so I let it slide. I allso make sure that it can not do a 360.

Nice collection sir.

[@Noner1234]

It’s a lot easier to “leave space” if you have a fatter wrist. You’re really not leaving any room but because you have more tissue in your wrist you can squeeze a finger between it and the bracelet. My bracelet has about the same amount of space as yours when left alone but when moving the watch is clearly loose

[@umbalaxx]

Exactly. I have super small wrist with skinny bone. There’s so little room to play with, 1 in and it’s too tight, take 1 out then it’s too loose. My smallest portion of my wrist is actually higher also. So if my watch wears perfectly tight as described in the video, it’ll still move up and be clearly loose. Now I’m kinda finding a nice balance and I think I’ll have to wear my watch higher (at the smallest spot) and make sure that that’s tight enough to stay in that place. Now, almost all of my watches are too loose. There’s this one watch that’s actually snug fit, almost too tight but luckily thanks to jubilee bracelet, it wears more comfortable.

[@jackMcRyder]

@@umbalaxx @josh these two comments are quite useful and correct

[@StandAloneState]

@@umbalaxxyou could consider wearing leather straps where you can punch holes yourself to find the perfect fit (or readjust based on temperature) or nato/fabric straps! Perlon straps are another option.

[@umbalaxx]

@@StandAloneState i never find a leather strap watch that really fits my wrist. Because my wrist is small and more of a flat shape, rather than rounded shape, leather straps usually look ridiculous on my wrist. And if the watch size is also >38mm, the strap won’t “hug” tightly around my wrist, there would be an ugly gap at the sides of my wrist. And personally, i also like stainless steel bracelets more. For these reasons, i still have yet to find a dress watch (leather).

[@StandAloneState]

@@umbalaxx I totally get it, I had a few leather straps and they stuck to my wrist or didn’t form well either. I basically wrote them off. But after buying a vintage watch recently with a high quality strap, my opinion changed. Now I’m a big fan. I have a strange wrist where if I’m grabbing something and rotate my wrist, a tendon pops out and can be painful if it hits a metal bracelet… it’s made finding the right fit a challenge. I hope you figure it out! But definitely don’t write off certain materials as you may be surprised in the future.

The crown is hurting your hand. See the redness? You probably wouldn’t want to use your left hand when you fall down. The pinky rule is good but the watch should be worn tight enough that it doesn’t slide down below your wrist bone.

[@IrixGuy]

That mark is actually from my Jaeger Lecoultre Master Control. It has a more pointy crown. I have a small wrist bone and watches can’t be worn above my wrist bone. Wearing a watch below the wrist bone if very comfortable for me but it’s a matter of personal preference.

[@HellhoundX90]

That Breitling is a thing of beauty! 🤩

[@IrixGuy]

Thanks and I agree! #SOHII

[@sjebanilik556]

Nice collection man ❤

[@dunwich123]

I can fit my pinky through it, but wobbles left and right slightly. As well as up and down. (The strap is leather) If I go the next size down, it doesn't move, but can barely fit pinky through, and leaves indents. Does this just mean I am in-between sizes?

[@IrixGuy]

It depends on the manufacturer but a lot of clasps have 3 or so positions on the clasp. That plus links makes finding the perfect fit easier. With that said, my Rolex Submariner seems to fir better than my Tudor Black Bay 58. Part of that is due to the Submariner also having a GlideLock extension. You could always toss it on a rubber or leather strap with a tang buckle and see how that feels. However, if you’re more of a bracelet guy like me, you probably don’t like straps as much.

[@ATIWatchReviews]

this is COMPLETELY personal preference. I like a good index finger space between the clasp and the wrist, but this may seem as though it's too loose. But over time I have preferred it looser as ultimately when we walk the watch falls lower down the wrist, and then restricts the hand movement. So now I prefer it looser than tighter, but years ago I would wear all bands, rubber, plastic or metal bracelet very tight where it would show marks at the end of the day! I've noticed some women and to a lesser extent some men, where watches very high up the arm (as in northwards), but I've no idea how they keep the watch from falling down when walking unless they have it very tight or keep moving it all the time.

[@IrixGuy]

Great feedback! Thank you and wear in good health!

[@StandAloneState]

Different wrist bone structures, probably. I have a larger bone sticking out of my wrist so I can have my watches sit above without sliding down.

[@hagridsbeardguy1399]

Thanks for the guide. Can't wear my watch below my wrist-bone though, would drive me to drink if it interferes with mobility in any way. It's a wristwatch and not a hand watch :D

[@IrixGuy]

I’m right hand dominant so a watch on my left wrist works out fine

[@thewayidoit8895]

@@IrixGuy Haha, it's an old Spidel band I put on a 40 year old automatic Seiko. The first one I tried was just slightly smaller than my wrist applying constant pressure.

[@IrixGuy]

Thank you very much! I’ve followed this bracelet sizing technique for all of my watches from the ‘90s through present. You don’t want to be Jingly Jangly Jubilee Guy but you don’t want a bracelet that is too tight either. Rubber snd leather straps are suitable for wearing a little tighter though.

[@2010joshbowman]

Do you also recommend this same pinky width room with Nato and silicone straps? I think I've worn those straps a bit tighter than my stainless steel bands, and they do leave marks as well as occasionally make my wrist sore (my wrist certainly changes sizes throughout the day noticeably). Perhaps I should've left more room in those Nato's and silicones all along.

[@IrixGuy]

I don’t wear NATO but I do wear my rubber straps and leather straps tighter than a stainless bracelet.

[@2010joshbowman]

@@IrixGuy out of curiosity, what rule of thumb would you use for your rubber straps, etc. with the amount of room in them?

[@NDakota79]

Well, my problem is that my wrist gest substantially wider during the day. In the morning my bracelet feels too lose and the watch moves around. In the afternoon it gets so tight that it leaves marks on my wrist.

[@IrixGuy]

It takes experimenting to find the perfect fit. Many watches like most current-reference Rolexes (GlideLock) and Tudor (T-Fit) provide the ability to make micro-adjustments throughout the day with the use of tools.

[@themichael3105]

Thanks. I just bought a new steel wrist watch yesterday, they took off some links, but if I raise my arm it slides down my wrist about two inches. Is that normal? I can fit my pinky under it, but it gets really annoying sliding up and down. Shouldn't it be tighter not to slide? Thanks for any replies/suggestions.

[@IrixGuy]

My suggestion would be to make it a little tighter and see if it slides as much. If not, check to see if it leaves marks on your wrist. If it does, then it’s too tight. If it’s too loose, it can spin around and be on your palm. If it can’t do a 360 around your wrist, then it should be tight enough. Again, this is all personal preference. I’ve always like the “tailored look” for suits and watches.

[@themichael3105]

@@IrixGuy Thanks for your suggestions! Appreciated. Cheers

[@Darara1987]

I'm having difficulty find the balance as I took of 3 links and it was loose enough that it slides down once in a while but as I took off another one (4 links) it was nicely fitted but it leave a mark on my wrist. What should I do leave it tight (doesn't hurt) or loose and kslides up and down)?

[@IrixGuy]

Try the points of adjustment within the clasp. Most clasps have three of so adjustment points.

[@vincentgranville964]

I'm finding the same. Clasp adjustment is maximum, I can slide index finger just under the clasp but it feels a bit tight. If I add a link it's too loose even with clasp adjustment. It doesn't leave big red marks bit more an indentation under the bottom clasp.

[@m_aditya_nair]

I sized my seiko srpd53k1 but the problem is the dial tries to go upwards on my wrist.it is not on the centre of wrist.i have kept 1 finger gap spacing.i have removed 1 link each from the 2 sides of my bracelet.How do i get the dial to sit on the centre and not just go upwards?

[@IrixGuy]

A watch is typically always going to move around on the wrist but shouldn’t be so loose that it can spin around the wrist. Have you tried removing more links from one aide of the clasp than the other?

[@m_aditya_nair]

@@IrixGuy no i shall try that, thanks

[@joeadler5379]

I own a Rolex datejust 1991 model. It barely fits my wrist now since I've gained weight. I'm stretching the bracelet. Can stretch bracelets be repaired on Rolex watches.🤔

[@IrixGuy]

Great question! Typically bracelet stretch cannot be repaired. Have you considered adding additional links?

[@JonCott]

Great video. I personally prefer above the wrist bone because it keeps the winder stem from digging into my hand.

The struggle between 1 link is real, if i remove it leaves mark on wrist if add that it becomes a rollercoaster and i have got only two micro adjustments.

I've seen folk saying you are wearing it wrong if you don't hear it above that wrist bone. My problem is that I do very manual labor and my arms are built funny and everything kinda funnels to my hand. To get a watch to stay above that bone, it has to be stupid tight. I like your method better for sure.

[@IrixGuy]

Thanks and not to mention wearing above the wrist bone is likely super tight and the bracelet will likely leave marks.

[@andrewvaughan5686]

i'm in the same boat man, everyone's built different. my wrists also fluctuate in size quite drastically throughout the day whether it be i'm hot/cold, working out etc, sometimes it slides around quite a bit, sometimes it feels too tight. i just accepted my watch is never going to sit 'just right' and deal with it

[@daveo2992]

Too bad im in a weird area where its 2 fingers too loose but if i take 1 link out it doesnt move at all and i cant fint any fingers under

[@IrixGuy]

Check the clasp for micro-adjustments. Also, you may have some links that are larger than other links. Try removing a larger vs. smaller link if so.

[@mahmudurrahmanashik9894]

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind

[@hphpqsc3329]

my hair keeps getting stuck between the bracelets of my watch and it makes it uncomfortable for me to wear do you have anyway to solve the issue

You could switch to rubber straps or leather straps. You could also shave your arms. With that said, I have never encountered that problem with any of my bracelets.

[@captainman6914]

It feels like it's to tight because it gets very itchy and won't move but if I loosen it anymore it slides over the place any ideas

[@IrixGuy]

Depending upon the timepiece, you likely have adjustments on the clasp too. It sounds like you may need to put links back, so that it’s tight and then adjust the clasp for a minor adjustment. If it slides all around, then it’s too loose in my opinion.

Yeah, wearing a floppy wristwatch is as bad as wearing a baggy suit LOL

[@frostynugs2898]

U wear it in your bone? . . . Bruh. .

This is how I wear my watches

[@pj1995____]

Very common to be worn on the bone

Cool

[@docchocobo]

The quickest way to say,"Childish", is to wear your dial on your palm. That is such a stupid thing, at least to me. The watch says tons about you.

[@IrixGuy]

People that wear the dial on their palm are likely really hardcore folks. You may or may not know this but many military snipers do that to better hide the reflection. If you see someone with the dial on their palm, it's likely because they have been mentally conditioned to do so.

[@docchocobo]

@@IrixGuy I know about the military connection, but when you see it on a young person? It's a fast way to destroy your crystal. I probably am too prejudiced about it to be honest. My cousin was a seal back in the day :)

You wear your watch between your hand and that bone?? You're definitely supposed to wear your watch ABOVE that bone. A watch sitting on the back of your hand like that looks terrible. What if you tried to do a pushup wearing your watch? I'm guessing it would horrible injure the back of your hand. You should be able to flex your hand backwards without it digging into your watch...

I wear an Apple Fitness tracker in the gym. For jobs and beach, this feels perfectly comfortable.

[@erikkalifornia5182]

@@IrixGuy That's cool. I've never seen anyone wear their watch on the actual creases of the wrist before. I can't imagine not being able to freely bend my wrist. It even looks like you have a red mark on your wrist in the video from the crown digging in? Anyways, to each their own, and you have a sweet collection 👍

[@elcocaino8728]

My Invicta looks exactly like that Rolex Submariner😱😂

[@IrixGuy]

I had an Invicta when I was a teenager. It was a great watch!

[@RasenRambo23]

Too loose. It's sitting too low. You can even see red marks where the crown digs into the back of your hand. That should never happen.

Wearing a watch “loosely” on a wrist to the point where it’s on your palm is not “perfectly acceptable”. Teach proper rules.

[@IrixGuy]

People typically wouldn’t want to wear a watch that loose. I make sure that I can stick my pinkie between the bracelet and my wrist and that usually the perfect fit! I demonstrate my technique within this video. Cheers!

[@TheCdM1981]

@@IrixGuy you properly wear a watch. My point is simply point out when others look like clowns. Especially when wearing a luxury brand.

[@IrixGuy]

@@TheCdM1981 I agree. It upsets me when I see someone that failed to take the appropriate amount of links out. A loose Jubilee bracelet is the worst because it makes a jingly jangly sound as well.

[@TheCdM1981]

@@IrixGuy I like the bracelet tight. Barley a finger being able to get through. The only issue is sometimes with bracelets there’s a very weird fitment.

This is horse $#!t if your watch is in front of your wrist bone you can't move your wrist....

I can bend my wrist back fully (as much as I could without wearing a watch) and also put my hand on a desk.
