Watch wrist placement

[HiloBeMagical]

One of the very few advantages we lefties have is that we can wear our watches on the right arm, slung low, as close to the hand as possible and tight enough that they don't move around. With the crowns pointed towards our elbows we don't have to deal with the "jabby-ness" of the crown digging into the back of our hands. My bracelet actually sits _between_ my wrist bone and the palm of my hand.

To my eye, watches worn above the wrist bone have the same visual "appeal" as pants worn 3 inches too short.

But, hey!, everybody gets to like what they like. :D

I wear mine just loose enough that it is free to move above and below the wrist bone. To tight and it is uncomfortable on my wrist, and to loose it is irritating. I have worn it both ways before, tight and loose and the way I wear it now is the best compromise for wearable comfort.

Nice and tight! After all these years I'm pretty sure there is a permanent indent on my wrist area

I've never considered wearing a watch above my wrist bone. I wear mine below the wrist bone pretty snug. A little loose drives me crazy.

Now I wear mine snug right before the wristbone and I find it to be the most confortable. I have worn watches snug right on the wristbone and also snug between wristbone and hand and its not so comfy.

This video from youtube says that its no good for your watch if it is worn loose. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLuM6Tyzvs8

However, I find it sexy that some females wear it loose and the watch goes almost to the middle or their forearm.

Jacques really knew how to wear one...but of course he needed it to fit over a wet suit as well.

Second thing a Rolex can't withstand: 1) winder, 2) loose bracelet. Pretty soon it won't tolerate being used at all.
