·Above the ulnar, snug enough it doesn't flop around like I am faux-gangsta but with a pinky finger's worth of gap so my hand doesn't turn blue then black and fall off from zero circulation.
Or to quote my United States Marine Corps Gunny Sergeant dad when I was a little boy:
"You wear your watch on your left wrist because you're not a communist and you wear it above your left wrist bone because you aren't an asshole."
He wasn't much for circumventing.

·Usually a bracelet but sometimes a strap.
Why does it have to be worn in only one place or the other?
I'm going to 'nope.' But as evidenced right here, opinions vary. Each seem quite locked in their positions. It's also cool to hear just how their opinions were influenced.

·Like the king of cool above, just on the left wrist, bracelet or strap, and "comfortable", neither snug, tight nor loose.

·Must have been awesome and scary to have a Gunny Dad. I hope he would improvise, adapt and overcome enough to give this king of cool a couple breaks.
Awesome - occasionally, scary - often, kept my distance - as much as possible, but he definitely tried his best with what he had for his generation... we became very good friends a few years before he passed.
No, he hated Steve McQueen. Often called him, "Pretend tough, opposite of hard, wouldn't last a second under fire."
My mom had a huge crush on McQueen -- drove my dad batshit crazy. 😁

·Okay, we can settle this now and forever. I have posted a photo of the correct way to wear a wrist watch and everyone can go about their business now. Have a good day.

I wear mine kinda snug, so that 1 finger can slip underneath fairly easily. I don't like it rolling around on me. I don't like wearing a bracelet watch loose, closer to the hand. Gotta be above the wrist. Not sure what influenced me, I think just seeing the different ways and trying them out.

I'm used to living in the deep tropics of the south pacific so still wear my watches on bracelets and loose enough so my skin doesn't get sticky with sweat building up under the watch. This makes the watch capable of sliding above or under my bone depending on my arm position. I can't stand tight enough that there is no movement, or loose enough that it can rotate 180.

So, the watch wearing part, I'm with you 100%. On the 'where you live part,' good for you. Couldn't do it. Give me Scandinavia, says the Norwegian.

·Whether on a bracelet or a strap, I like mine to rest below my ulna most of the time, but I like it loose enough that I can move it up when I wash my hands since all of my watches are vintage (or near vintage) and likely no longer waterproof. Like @janice&fred, I can't stand when my watch sticks to my skin when I'm sweating.

·Just above the right wrist. Sometimes above the ulnar styloid, sometimes at. I can get an index finger between my bracelet and my wrist.

·Usually like this, bracelet in the winter and rubber strap in the summer.

·I wear my watch either on a bracelet or strap, on my wrist, and pretty much wherever I go.
