How to adjust a watch bracelet for a perfect fit

- Today, we're going to talk about the methods available for adjusting a watch bracelet to fit you perfectly. Not the physical process of adding or removing links, but how to use a combination of links, half links, quick adjusts, toolless adjusts, and other tweaks to make a bracelet work as best as it can on your wrist.
Haven't worn a watch for 20 years. Decided recently to dip into the hobby with a Timex Weekender. Did I just enter into a new rabbit hole? Time will tell.👈🧀
DO NOT GET INTO WATCHES!
Thats what started me down the rabbit hole.
Throw it away. Turn around and run!
GET INTO WATCHES! Best hobby in world!
One of us...one of us... Haha jokes aside, you will enjoy this hobby a lot.
Thanks for giving Pete that KME. It really did make his channel better.
We can hope the more innovative brands like Formex and Monta keep doing well in the market and thus put pressure on the lazier brands to keep improving things.
Dang it Nick, you once told me “Do not get into watches.” This is not helping my friend.
10:46 seconds of non-war related content! Love you, Nick.
I'm going to war against folks who don't include half links in a future video.
Thanks for the clear explanation.
I don't understand why the integrated butterfly bracelets are so popular now. No halflinks, no micro adjusts, no nothing.
Bought a cheap Chinese _homage_ to try it out and of course it never had a good fit.
I agree, butterfly bracelets in general are a nice idea, but not yet done right.
Hey man, I just found your channel today, and I absolutely love it. I love the way you talk, your mannerisms, and how you express yourself. You are one of the few youtubers who genuinely make me laugh. Your reviews are great because you are straight to the point and very informative. It's awesome that you are very truthful and honest about how you feel about the knives you review, I really respect that and it's helpful to the buyer who might be blinded to some shortcomings of a knife. It'd be great if you tried to rate each blade out of 10 at the end of each video as sort of a cherry on top. I also dig the accent lol, keep up the videos my man :^ )
Looking forward to that Tudor review.
It's already live!
I love ratcheting quick adjust clasps. I wish way more watches had them and I take that feature over signed crowns and stupid clear casebacks any day of the week. I've upgraded a couple of watches to catching claps from places like islander and not looked back.
I would rather see your videos on Rumble. Good videos Nick!!!
I feel like I have a couple of watches that just don't fit perfect. Regardless of removing the right amount of half links. They just seem to be right in that spot where slightly too tight or too loose. Or even with the closest fit, it just happens that the clasp pin link adjust (tooled quick adjust) is maxed out to one side or the other. Sinn 104 being one of them.
The Seamaster doesn't have that problem with its micro adjust, and TBH just that value alone is why I reach for it so often.
Agreed! Sometimes you just need more adjustment.

Excellent Mr. Kennedy

Here in Colorado your wrist changes in the season change, smaller in winter, bigger in summer..
I try to keep less links on the 6 o'clock side to minimize scratches on the clasp. It works.
Depends heavily on how round or oval your wrist is, and the clasp shape, but yes!
i see i think most of the watches keep more links on the 12 oclock side than the 6 oclock side do you notice any difference of comfort?
Something something hidden gem?
I just got one of those Huckberry-Timex Navi XL Arctic automatics and the bracelet has only full links and no micro adjustment in the clasp, and of course I’m in between on the sizing. Any advice on how to add something to the bracelet that will allow for finer adjustability?
I also always have less links on the 6 o’clock side since most wrists are asymmetrical and not a perfect cylinder
i see i tried the other way around and it felt like it's the same i don't know shy hahahaha
I like to be symmetrical with the clasp
Great video ! What would be your pi k for the highest quality watch under 200$ ?
Pick your favorite Citizen Eco-Drive, or if you want digital, Casio G-Shock.
I love my orient ray 2.

Fortunately I always know what time it is.......
It's new Knife time!!!! 😂 lol I have a problem... but hey at least I don't spend money on watches... 🤷♂️. ⚔ 🔪 ⚔ lmao ✌✌
Bought and sold the bb36 (Which was supposed to be a grail piece i worked hard to buy) within a span of 4 months...garbage bracelet fitting, flat caseback that does not conform to the wrist.... The worst part is under the hot and humid climate i live in... The flat as a board caseback just sinks into the skin. Idk man... Had a few seikos, Hamilton, Orient and tissots..... cheaper watches but never had an experience this horrible with a watch ever.
