Anyone inboard and why?

I was messing around today and switched my watch inboard. It’s actually quite comfortable but I’ve gone to check the time only to find my clasp like 6 times already.

I have in the past, but I found that I kept banging the crystal on things.

I’m going to roll with it for a day or so and see what happens. It actually fits better on my wrist this way.

I’ve never tried it, but I don’t think it’d be for me … not sure why I feel that way.

Many in military did it in the field due to the radium dials at night and avoid bashing the Watch into hard things.

Since they had more to worry about than desk diving, I’d guess keeping the inboard wrist near the body was safer and under a rifle stock meant reading time was possible?

We’re gonna need proof you did this. I mean it’s wrist chaos, we need evidence it happened. Time stamped pictures every 7-9 min.

Yeahhhh, I got tired of checking my clasp for the time. It didn’t last long.

Outside of the legitimate Military applications, it also works for quick glances for the time while driving (even modern cars with clocks on the dash). You know like when you’re too lazy to change the clock back to PST from PDT but you need to know how late you’re going to be to your appointment because there’s 3 semis overtaking each other uphill on the 15. Works even better if dial is large with Arabic numerals
