    Yes, I always need a couple of micro slots on a bracelet or a bit on a strap. I'm a good 1/4" larger on very hot days vs winter.

    Pretty normal - it just affects those who keep their watches tighter more than those with a loose fit.

    Yup. Had to add some bracelet links to various watches.

    I am normally not much of a bracelet fan but I have put all of the bracelets with expandable clasps back on my watches recently. They are more comfortable in this weather over a NATO or rubber strap. I have already let the clasp on my SM300MC out to the first notch this morning, it’s not even 7:30.
    I could not entertain wearing a leather strap in anything but the dead of winter.

    I'm quite the opposite, much prefer NATOs in the summer heat, as i find that the bracelet gets too hot, sweaty and oily :)

    My wife wants to move a hot climate to see if it happens to me too, 1/4” would be a start says she.

    I have to say that it is lovely to hold the bracelet under a cold tap for a while before wearing it. Very cool!

    I’ve been doing that recently it’s a real help. Leather straps are a real no no for me in this weather. The 2254 on the rubber has been the go to atm

    In this weather a cold shower is a must. Good water resistance and a bracelet really help. :)

    There's only one watch in my collection to wear when it's this hot - just so I can be exact in my complaining about the heat!



    Evening temp, indoors in the shade.

    should read first - 28 inside at night
    now that is uncomfortable especially as the higher humidity keeps things feeling warm

    can always do an old grandma trick of towels in the freezer then on the feet

    No blaming the weather, I'm just getting older and fatter.
