Wrist size changes during the day and with temperature, sometimes by several millimetres. A fit that feels tight in the afternoon may be right in the morning. Before buying parts, check the fit at different times. You may find the 'too tight' setting is only a problem a few hours a day.

Case 25 — Beginner glossary Q&A: complication, caliber, jewel count, power reserve
For a two-watch comparison, the practical order is usually case dimensions first, then power reserve if you rotate, then caliber for serviceability. Jewel count comes last. Complications only matter if you'll use them. Can you say what the two candidates are, in generic terms like 'dive style vs dress style'? The priorities shift a lot between those.
