    Curious - do folks wear bracelets with the 12 o’clock side and 6oclock side equal distance to the clasp.

    Or do you prefer a slight offset?

    Me - I think I prefer the 6 o’clock side to be shorter. In the below pic - it means Ill have to adjust the bracelet length on both sides. But being lazy - I prob won’t get around to it for a few months. :)

    So for this bad boy - the face of the watch hangs towards the outside of my left arm. I suppose my question is - do you try and wear your similar sized watches in the same spot. Always?

    Gotta be centered for me- I will move links from one side to the other and play with the micro adjustment until I get it right. I have gotten rid of perfectly good bracelets because I couldn’t get them right.

    I’m similar but I center based on where it lands on my wrist upside down, not based off the number of links. This usually means one more on the front side 6 o’clock (I believe)

    That’s what I meant, not symmetry on the bracelet but under the wrist. Generally if hold the watch with the head level, the clasp should dangle directly beneath it. If it’s off to one side at the perfect micro setting, sometimes moving a link from one side to the other will negate the issue

    My 12 side tends to be smaller because my wrist at that point has the cross-section of an oval and the 12 side is the smaller side. This tends to center the clasp on the bottom side of my wrist.

    I either add a link to the 6 o'clock side or take a link from the 12 o'clock side. I don't think I've had any that have fit in the factory configuration.

    My wife, on the other hand likes all the removable links taken from the 6 o'clock side and replaced on the 12 o'clock side. She prefers her watch head to sit more on the side of the wrist. Go figure?
