For that reason, as well as basic comfort requirements, I don't ever want it to move once it's secured for the day. It sits above my wristbone, laterally centered on my arm, and sufficiently elbow-ward that no flexure of my wrist can result in the back of my hand contacting the crown.

How's that for specific? :-) Honestly, I just put it on without a thought. I've been doing it in exactly the same way almost daily for nearly 50 years at this point, so no cogitation is required.
Haha. As I was reading this, I thought you were being serious.
I think the general consensus is above the wrist bone, not too tight. But that's never how I'll wear mine.
It's funny how some people refer to their way as "the correct way" or "the proper way" or the "traditional way". Anything else is "wrong" or "looks like crap". To me, too high on my wrist looks weird.
It's all personal preference folks.
