Loose. I have a black hills gold watch that I inherited from my mother (along with her silver plated Smith and Wesson revolver!! Yikes!) and I need to have the band made bigger, have it cleaned and all.
Do you guys think BHG is tacky?

I have the same problem with my Tag. But I don't like wearing it tight where it will leave a big indent in my wrist after I take it off at the end of the day. So I wear it a little loose and it just feels like a bracelet.

i also have a stainless steel tag, and i hate wearing it snug. i recently had an extra link added to it to make it even bigger. i couldn't stand how snug it was getting during the summer and for me, with the stainless steel, i felt like it made my wrists sweat too much. i hated it.

now it fits just perfectly!

Hello Everyone ...
I was pleased to see this thread as I need some advice.
I purchased and received a Swiss Legend Karamica (ceramic) watch.
I took it to the jeweler's today to have "4" links removed and this is the maximum links allowed for my small wrist. Any more and the bracelet would not close. The fit is slightly sloppy, not what I am used to. The case is so heavy that it moves up and down my wrist and sidewards but not past my wrist bone. It does not flip completely around my wrist, thankfully. My question is: Are any of you wearing your watches this loosely?
I love the watch and can probably get used to the fit but I don't want to look strange , like I'm trying to wear a guys watch and it's way too big for me.
Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
TIA :-)

-That's how I wear some of my watches, because removing one more link is too tight; these then are a little loose but as long as they don't flip around on my wrist, I'm OK with it.

Think of it as a bracelet look. I hope you like it; I have 2 SL and love them. They both fit very loosely as you describe - I have a 6.5 in wrist and had 2 links removed IIRC

Tight. I make a distinction between a watch and a bracelet. It seems safer and more convenient, plus I think it was designed to be worn that way (Omega Constellation). However, I often pair it with a bracelet on the same wrist, to get both looks together.
