I don't like my watch (or bracelet) to be even the least big snug. In the summer, especially, being hot makes it worse.

My watch is where I can put my finger between the band & wrist. That is comfortable for me.
 
I wear them snug as they have a tendency to hit things when worn loose. Wearing them snug also reduces the links hitting against one another, less scratches. I live in a tropical country, sometimes it gets annoying when I sweat but I'd rather adjust the watch.
 
I can fit my finger (to the knuckle) between my band and wrist.
I am super fussy about how my watch fits. It is agonizing when I have to break in a new band, which is why I wear the same watch day after day.

So does the face spin around on you at all? like ending up on the underside of your wrist?
 
Fitted. I like a watch face to sit exactly in the middle of my wrist, not flopping around. When they are loose, you can damage the watch easier by smacking it into things and a loose bracelet (in gold) stretches faster. I don't like them tight - just fitted.
 
I wear mine fairly fitted. I would be too worried about it crashing against something if it were loose. I do notice it feels a little tighter or a little looser based on the humidity.
 
Fitted. When I picked up
My watch te lady at Rolex convinced me to leave it loose an wear it like a bracelet so we only took out a few links.

I went back a week later to have more links
Taken out to jar it fitted. It still moves a little
But not like it did before :)
