Re: Sorry, I just don't know (or care) >>

I was on the same boat. With the half link it was too loose for my taste and still restricted movement when down close to my hand. Without the link, it would not go so far down and hit my hand. But I sweated a bit in Arizona heat. It would feel just a hair loose but would feel a hair tight in the heat. I got used to it. I never had any problems with marks in the back of my hand. I was more concearned with busting the bracelet from pressure. But it hasn't happened yet. If it has happened to someone from bending the wrist back (pushups), let me know. In the end, whichever way I had it, it would still restrict movement a bit since when larger, it would move down further. I think it is because I have a small wrist. Maybe you do also. To give you an idea, I have 3 regular size removable links on mine. It isn't tight and the watch moves just a bit on my wrist.
