wearing a watch correctly

Maybe i am the only one with this pet peeve, but it drives me nuts when i see people posting pics with their watches worn past the their wrist bone. barf!


only thing worse than this is the people that put the watch on the underside of their wrist. even worse!



come on people!


photos pulled from internet, sorry if any are YOU!

everyone knows the proper way to wear a watch is to keep it in the safe with CCTV live feed broadcasting it your your Apple watch display in real time. never a chance to scratch it this way

the safe would obviously be temperature and humidity controlled....come on now

but touche my friend...perhaps its best if the watch is in the AD vault, i am sure they would allow a live feed camera in there. watch obviously fully stickered

Ah yes, i had forgotten I had made some money by flipping my Daytona, I mean selling it a month later unworn and stickered because i just thought it wore a little small. So i guess temp and humidity control is a given.

I would never wear a watch if I had to keep it snug above the wrist bone. It would bug the sh*t out of me.

Loose and free for me.

And other thing.....

Some people actually wear their watch on the WRONG wrist.

Can you imagine.

I mean, my god, before you know it they will be wearing it on their ankle.

Im like you in that I wear mine behind, not on top of, the wrist bones. But to each their own and it doesn’t bother me as much, I just imagine it would be uncomfortable over the bones.

I hear the method of wearing watches face inwards stems from the medical personnel and armed forces.

Exactly. You've been here forever so everyone should know your level of sarcasm by now.

My watch says hello...

You’re wearing it above the ankle bone. Are you sure you’ve never been wearing a law enforcement “watch” before.

For me, in reference to the original pic, I personally don't like the watch crown I'm wearing stabbing me in the back of my left hand, so I always wear it a safe distance away, maybe a half an inch away.

Thanks. They were on sale. Buy one sock get the other sock free. So, I took just one sock and walked out. The store didn't like that.

I don't hate this. I mean it's an opportunity to be able to wear multiple watches. Classy almost. You might have just started a new fad

These look excruciatingly uncomfortable ... or is that the point?!

I flex my wrists multiple times a day and would not want the watch digging in like this!
