I recently read an article in the paper on the only and correct way to wear a watch by a so called etiquette and mens dress expert.
It stated that the correct position was ABOVE the wrist bone, so as not to have the winder digging into the back of your hand and for it not to be on show when wearing a suit or long sleeves
Now, is it just me or am I the only one to disagree?
I have always worn mine below the wrist bone i.e. ON THE WRIST! not above the bone i.e on the ARM. Surely that is the reason it is called a WRISTWATCH not an ARMWATCH?
If my watch has a metal bracelet, my personal preference is to wear it slightly loose so as to allow it to slink around.
Surely if you wear it above the wrist bone when wearing a suit or long sleeves the it makes it mighty difficult to read the time? and secondly if you spend a lot of money on a wristwatch, don't you like to show it off?
