I bought my SPB155 on Xmas Eve as a gift to myself, and well I love this watch! It's just one thing, the folding clasp likes to pop open randomly, the final straw was when I was on my boat, I put my hands down leaning forward and the clasp popped open and I almost lost it to the bay! If anyone has a suggestion that I could do to tighten it up that would be sweet!

A typical problem caused by wearing the watch too loose on the wrist! The watch spends too much time at the wrist joint. When the wrist flexes, strain is imposed on the components in the clasp, and they bend. Once you get the clasp problem looked after, adjust the bracelet so the watch stays higher on the wrist. Can’t do that? The problem will be resolved some time in the future when you lose your watch.

Was just looking at the clasp - it's not a friction fit type clasp, but you have to push the buttons to release the clasp, so I'm not sure why it loosens so easily. Would help to get a watchmaker to look at it?
