Bracelet fit: half-links, micro-adjust holes and the 'between sizes' problem · RWI-03354

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.

Wrist size changes during the day and with temperature, sometimes by several millimetres. A fit that feels tight in the afternoon may be right in the morning. Before buying parts, check the fit at different times. You may find the 'too tight' setting is only a problem a few hours a day.
