What's with the whole "hand watch" thing online?

I also wear it pretty high up my wrist but that's just because my wrist bone is weird. I like it this way for two reasons:

1. I can wash my hands or dishes and not worry about my watch getting wet.
2. The crown doesn't dig into my hand when I bend my wrist.

This has been talked about before here - IMO you are wearing it right where it should be. I realize that some people don't have wrist/forearm shapes to allow that though.

It would bug the hell out of me to have it rubbing on the back of my hand all the time...

I got 3/4 tat sleeves so I could wear my watch up where I like it. makes a good transition.

If it’s not about comfort it’s just about fashion. I say go ahead and freak out the squares. F ‘em if they can’t take a joke.
