Reply With QuoteI drilled a wee hole in between to remedy the same problem.
I have had this problem a couple of times lately.... it's either unbearably snug in one, or just a little too loose for long-term pleasure in the other.
Anything I can do to remedy the problem?

Happens to me a lot, I bought a tool for punching extra holes in straps, it has paid for itself many times over.

I have that very problem.
I've decided the solution is for me to lose some weight, so I've started excercising regularly.
I also do a strict exercise regime as your meaning , probably to often.

:D :D
And here I was innocently speaking about using the treadmill more often and going for a regular jog to drop some pounds...
of course you were....we all believe you :roll:
and i thought this was an s and m thread from the title :albino:
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
Wear it tight and often, it will loosen up a little with wear.
it is :bounce:and i thought this was an s and m thread from the title :albino:
Well drilling's out of the question as my tang is too large and the holes too close together, that would just make one big hole -no use to man or beast.
It's pretty distracting having it flopping about so I think I'll have to suffer it too tight and hope it doesn't cut off the circulation, hope it stretches in time but its quite bulky?
Dave, :roll: tut tut :D
You could swap to the other wrist as they are usually different sizes :?
Or get bottox injections in the offending wrist to plump it up a bit :blackeye: ...
Seriously though it is a pain & I normally flip the strap & buy another one that looks similar but is from another manufacturer ...

Use the looser hole but put a pad of some sort under the watch. Never done it myself but I've seen it recommended.
Use the looser hole and stick a plaster like BandAid on underside of strap.You will be surprised at the comfy fit.
This is what you want:
Available from bigger chemists - although not Boots as far as I can tell. It's like thin self-adhesive felt and is invisible. I use it inside my SBIII bracelet and it works very well. Apart from solving the too-loose problem I think it's actually more comfortable as it feels less sticky in contact with skin. Also seems water-resistant and hard wearing (as you'd expect since it's intended for use on your feet!).
I haven't tried on leather though - it sticks well to metal, but could stick a bit too well to leather. Try it on something you're not bothered about first.
Great tips gents, looks like this stuff is the way forward!
