Should watch straps be altered

I have seen some wearing them very loose like a bracelet but then the watch bangs in things like desk when working. Is it just a fashion to not adjust the bracelet or is that a valid way of wearing a bracelet watch. I am interested to know what jewellers and people in the trade think about this. I know that everyone is free to wear their watch as they see fit I was just wondering because I would think that watches with gold plating would wear more when worn loose.
