That's what they're designed for, so yes I use them daily
I like my watch to fit comfortably snug but not tight. I find I adjust throughout the day depending on weather and alcohol consumption |

It is all weather driven for me. I adjust daily in the warm weather depending on my activity.

It really depends on the fitting of your Rolex if you need to our not and your wrists changing size.
I have my watches fitted, so I can keep my EasyLinks extended in the Summer and closed in the Winter. But the GlideLock is a big improvement if your wrist changes size often and/or you prefer to always have an exact fit. |

With all the humidity here in Georgia, my Glidelock and Easylink are frequently used.

My Daytona was my first new Rolex in 30 years, so I wasn't familiar with using EasyLink. Since I didn't get it at an AD, I searched Youtube videos to find someone adjusting theirs. It is quite simple, of course, but the first time you do it, especially with an expensive new watch, you are careful to not snap anything in a way that it shouldn't be snapped. But once you do it, it is obvious. And sometimes helpful.

No, not really. Although it does depend on the general fit of the watch...if it's a tighter fit then I'll use it more than a watch with a looser fit.

Mine stays closed 90%+ of the time. Only on really hot days (or unfortunate trips to the buffet line) do I utilize the easylock

Easylink-Any thoughts to my response?
I have the Yacht-master and this is what I have found for my 6.5 inch wrist. I like the watch to basically not move so I tend to keep it on the smaller size until it is so tight that I have to let it out. I do end up adjusting it daily. I have marks on my skin but it seems unavoidable with this bracelet if it is worn on the tighter side. Do others of you experience the same thing. The bracelet does not feel to small on the tighter setting but it does leave some marks.

The AD took two links out of mine and now the Easylink is adjusted as loose as it will go. It's still a little tight, but I can't let it out anymore.
I suppose I should take it back to the AD and have him adjust it again. |

My easylink is open all the time. Actually due to it I do not need to buy additional link for my bracelet.

Yes,this is what I have found as well. I wear it tight but not constricting. It does leave some imprints on my wrist, but once the day wears on and it gets warmer, I end up extending the easylink. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Just got my blnr and i too adjust it daily. Sometimes a couple of times per day. I find it very easy and extremely convenient. Dont have a glidelock so i am not sure how much better it really is.

Very seldom. Mine is adjusted so pinky finger slides underneath with a bit of resistance.
