how do you wear your watch relative to your wrist bone?
just curious, do you guys wear your watch towards the arm side, on the wrist bone, or towards the hand side of wrist bone?

Towards the elbow side. I tried above the wristbone, but just could not get comfortable. Probably a design flaw in my wrist.

Definitely near to the wrist......
I've seen quite a few photos of people wearing their watches well above the wrist bone and it always looks rather strange to me........ But ultimately whatever floats your boat....... |

I wear my watch above my wrist bone. I see some guys wearing it below, almost near their hand. That looks so uncomfortable to me. How do you even bend your wrist with your watch that low?

I wear my watches loose enough that they sit where ever they slide to on my arm. I guess most of the time it is on the wrist side, but I wear on my right hand, so there is no crown digging into the back of my hand. I guess if I wore it on my left I would keep it on the elbow side.

Elbow side. Funnily enough I used to wear it hand side still a few years ago.

Same here. I used to wear mine loose where the crown would actually touch my hand when bending it. Started wearing it at or slightly above the wristbone and found it to be much more comfortable. And I think it looks better but YMMV of course.

Elbow side for me. Never comfortable any other way.

Typically wear it loose enough (two fingers barely fit under clasp), such that it goes from one side to the other depending on the temperature...if I am at the gym...if I ate BBQ or a low sodium meal lol
It doesn't bother me either position but wearing it tight enough that it will not move makes me uncomfortable. |

So if I bend my wrist upward, above that crease. The watch should not negatively impact my (or anyone’s) range of motion.

I wear my watch loose and hand side of the wrist bone, for me, it looks and feels better. It is a personal thing though, wear a watch how you like it. There is no right or wrong way in my opinion.

Wear it where it's comfortable, not where it's not.

Elbow side, snug but not tight. I personally find it annoying when my watch moves around a lot.
