Looks just fine on you with it being below the wrist bone. I think your wrist bone is set back a bit higher, which is why the watch looks more oddly placed with it above your wristbone. :)

Dude you are cracking me up with this video! I have a big wrist bone but it’s not as far down up the arm as yours. But it does hurt when my watch constantly pushes on it. But I do agree, how in the world do you get it to stay put above the wrist bone? It just slides down below it when you walk around. 🤷🏼‍♂️ I also agree that it looks better below the bone.

I wear mine above the wrist, i also size it very tight on to my wrist where there is absolutely zero movement but then again I am a roofer and I don’t like my watch flopping around while uusing tools and I find it a little less susceptible to scratching while I work.

Definitely personal preference!

For dudes the watch is meant to just peek out from under the shirt sleeve. Implying wearing the wrist watch below the wrist bone closer to the hand. I say it depends on the watch and depends on the attire and depends on what you’re doing and and depends on your body structure/proportions and whether you need full range of wrist movement. I know for me below the wrist looks so much more elegant. Also it’s good to get other opinions. So good video. I did the same searching YT for other opinions on wearing two watches - left wrist mechanical wrist watch and right wrist my fitness tracker. As always do you bro. Plus on you the watch below the wrist bone closer to your hand looks better, more stylo.

Its all about how you are build, many can not wear it like you because of the bone placement and vice versa. In the end of the day just wear it as you like and enjoy it. It doesn't matter what other people think. The importance is that you feel comfortable wearing it like that. Btw it does look better on you below the bone so you are not wrong. I think your bone is placed higher that is why. Mine is placed closer to the hand making it uncomfortable to wear it like you.

Also, how are you going to tell the time if you wear long sleeves and the watch is halfway up your arm?

I cant undertand how people wear it above the wrist bone for a few reasons, firstly to stop it sliding down they either must have huge wrist bones or have the watch too tight, the arm tapers towards the hand, so unless its tight it will slide down following the taper, the other thing is, if i wear a watch above the bone i always get the feeling of wanting to pull it down, a bit like when you wear a shirt with too short of a sleeve length, you are always going to be tugging at the sleeve thinking your gonna make it fit, :) we have all done it :)

It's an interesting subject but I have always worn my watches just above the wrist bone and they fit just fine without restricting my wrist movement or digging into the back of my hand, which would happen when worn below the wrist bone. Maybe I'm defective because I'm 6' tall with long arms, flattish 7 1/2" wrists, prominent wrist bones and long fingers (a bit like E.T.)

Personal preference all the way; however, I understand the extrinsic push to meet watch etiquette expectations. I prefer the looks of below the wrist bone, as it feels less stuffy in my mind. I wear an Apple Watch 7 and an Ultra on different days; I tend to pull them down towards my hand as I think it looks better on me, plus it does feel odd riding high on my forearm - almost like wearing high-water pants LOL.

Rolex with GlideLock and micro-adjustments makes it easy to dial in the perfect bracelet fit. Tudor also have T-Fit now on many references.
