How tight is too tight?

Apple Watch 6 with braided loop band...measured between a 3 and a 4. Bought the 3. When in between sizes, is it better to go with the lower or the higher size? Trying to decide if the 3 is a bit too snug.

Apple Watch / Braided Loop Band (correct sizing) I recently received a new 44mm size Apple Watch SE along with a braided solo loop size 8 (Inverness green) (they purchased both from NY since in my country they do not sell braided solo bands) My wrist measure is 182 cm or 7,16 inch. (tight) Prior buying, I took the apple test with the paper, where my wrist closed in the middle of size 9 (really tightly), thus according to instructions I went down one size and I selected size 8 because I want the band to be really snug not loose. I feel now that it is not so snug and by the time passing it will become loose and I wonder if I have to go one size down (to size 7). Usually yarns, passing the time, become larger but never smaller. (Apple does not mention anywhere the difference in cm between two sizes) For example between sizes 7 and 8. Assuming that the difference among sizes might not be more than 2cm I feel that it’s worth trying to send it back and try for size 7. Unfortunately Apple website does not mention anywhere band size difference in cm (among sizes) as well as band sizes related with wrist measurements in cm or inches (for example size 7 fits for wrists 178-185 cm) A lot of fuss has been created among Apple Watch users concerning the insufficient apple aid for selecting the right band size !!! Any thoughts and/or recommendations for my case ? Shall I stay with my existing size 8 or go with size 7 ?

how tight should my watchband be? Just got a new Apple Watch 6. Incredible. I'm used to wearing a looser watch, but want to be sure that I've got it tight enough to be accurate with heart rate and other measures. How tight should it be?
