How do you wear?

How do you wear your watch?! On the bone, below the bone, or above the bone?!

Just above the wrist bone a snug fit and IMHO thats where all Rolex and other watches should be worn.

Above the bone, but not so tight that it can't sometimes slip below the bone. It doesn't bother me.

Above the wrist bone closer to your hand? I typically wear my watches right at and below the wrist bone. I find some discomfort when wear a watch over the wrist bone.

I have a very short wrist and low wrist bone. Wear my watches a little looser than most so they are on top of the bone most of the time but can fall a little forward or behind it at times. Not even noticeable really!

Depends on the watch.
But always a quite snug fit, not too loose.

Depends on the weight of the watch. Heavy watches i keep above the wrist bone, currently wearing an air king 116900 that is tight enough to sit above but can also slide down to the top of the hand. All depends on the watch.

There’s no right or wrong way IMHO

I wear mine above the wrist bone mostly because I can’t stand the feeling of a watch bumping into my hand.

I also have a fairly pronounced wrist bone so it’s easier to wear above for me

While wearing, the watch should never touch my hand.

Literally just above the bone normally, but I don't mind It going above and below if I'm wearing it looser (e.g easy link) when the weather is warmer.

I wear mine right at the wrist bone, but mine barely protrudes so watches on bracelets slip down towards my hand when I get sweaty which is why I like nylon straps to keep a snug fit.

On the wrist bone. Sometimes it goes above or below. The bone is the widest point on my small wrists.

Just above the bone, quite snug but not tight....my fiancé wears hers quite loose, it’s a 26mm OP and looks really nice, sort of like wearing a bracelet.

A little bit looser. Move from above to below wristbone but not freely.

Just above the wrist bone, as in, further away from the hand.

Most important is fit. So I can my little finger just about inbetween the clasp and wrist. That way it won’t flop around but enough room when it’s humid. Then you normally have easylink / glidelock.

Finally make sure the clasp is centred or so the clasp hinge sits nicely on the shape of the wrist so it doesn’t dig in.

My 'bone' is kind of small so my watches kind of sit on it or below. I do wear on the loose side.
