I wear my Tank loose like a bracelet and have since I bought it a year and a half ago. It is loose enough that it spins around. I think I'm going to remove another link to wear it more fitted but I admit I like the loose fit.

I recently bought the same MK watch you got except in gold. I wear that one fitted. There is still a little room but it is snug enough that it will not turn on my wrist so that the face is on the inside of my wrist. I like it like that.

The reasons I like my watch loose is that I like the bracelet feel and because I hate tight, restrictive jewelry. I feel like when my watch is too snug I feel it more gripping my wrist.

I wear my watch fairly fitted, there is like a link or two of leeway, but not much, I don't like metal watches super fitted, but I don't want it banging around.

^this!! I wear my watches loose! I feel claustrophobic if it even approaches being snug. I love the feeling of the watch moving around !

I just bought a Michael Kors watch too!!! I've been lusting after the Chanel J12, but my boyfriend doesn't like it (we are planning on getting His and Her watches in the near future). So this will have to satisfy my craving! I tend to like to wear my watches not too tight but not too loose in that it has enough movement to slide up and down my wrist but not enough to turn 180 on my wrist.

Sorry for the blurry phone pic :D but I really love it so far! I also haven't taken some of the links out yet so it looks very loose.

Thanks everyone for your valued input! I see we're neck and neck in the polls.

Thank you skphotoimages :flowers:

kohl_mascara, congrats! Your new watch is gorgeous! Love the white ceramic. :faint: I know yours isn't sized yet but the way you have yours on in the pic is how mine sits. Thanks for sharing :smile1:

lawchick and sbelle, I agree about wearing restrictive jewelry. When I had the extra link taken out so it was fitted it felt uncomfortable. And my wrist is so tiny I feel like it's all watch face and no band!

When I used to wear a watch I never took it off so I had that awkward watch tan line that took forever to go away! Wearing it looser will definitely prevent that from happening since it shifts around, which is cool. And like Mr. Ho said, it's nice being able to push the watch up when washing your hands. I don't like that moisture being trapped between my watch and wrist.

So I thought I should contribute and show how mine would be fitted and how it is now at the loose/bracelet sizing:

Loose (Ooh and you can see the pretty mother of pearl face too!):

Hmmm... I kind of like it better loose fitting on you. Both look great, but the loose somehow looks more comfortable. But for me, if it became to clunky, or spun around, or was uncomfortable for even one second, Y would go fitted.
