I feel the same. I also prefer looser bracelets. And comfort is also a priority for me. At the end, I believe the 18 was right for me.17 definitely too tight. 18 looks much more comfortable.
I don't have the clash bracelet but I have a Love and a Tiffany bangle and I wear a watch daily.
I'm probably one of those people who prefer bracelets and watches on the looser size though. I'd rather have the flexibility of some room than none.
