My bracelet is either slightly too tight or slightly loose with any link combination. The clasp has three micro-adjust holes, and there are no half-links. What are the options before I give up and go to a strap?

First, a clarifying question: how many links are on each side of the clasp right now? Fit often improves by moving one link from the 6 o'clock side to the 12 o'clock side, or the reverse. That doesn't change length, but it shifts where the clasp sits under the wrist, and a centred clasp feels less tight.

Micro-adjust spacing varies by clasp. Measure the actual change at each setting rather than assuming a standard number of millimetres; compare the usable range with the link length.
