This is a subject I have been debating a friend about. I always, I mean always have seen and worn my buckle in the center of my wrist as the first picture shows. I had never seen anyone wear their strap differently.

Then my friend shows me the second picture and says there are a lot of people that wear there watch like that. To be honest, I really had never seen anyone wear there strap like that. There is no right or wrong here, just I had never seen it.

So the question comes to all of you how do you wear your strap?

With the buckle in the middle?

Or with the buckle off the side of your wrist?

Kind of in between the two. Really all depends on the strap doesn't it? You can't really adjust the position of the buckle.

The strap in Picture 2 is too long!

I'd recommend your friend gives his Pannies to me and gets himself a Rollie or two!!

Just my 2c

#1-ish. It varies a bit from strap to strap and watch to watch, but #1 is what I shoot for...

Always have it centered. The trick is finding not only the right size strap, but one with the holes placed properly too.

With the XXL strap that came with my watch it was on the side. Felt really strange and not very comfortable. But i got a new smaller strap that puts the buckle in the middle. Much more comfortable.

It depends on the length of the strap. If the strap is a bit shorter the buckle would be in the middle otherwise on the side.

mine is pic 1 kind of. My buckle starts at the middle:

since my wrist is so small, i custom order my straps so the straps aren't too long and very comfy. Elliot tells me that it's ideal for him to get the buckles closer to middle when helping folks custom order straps.

*shrugg*

to each their own though.

Crick, I wear mine like that as well. The buckle starts at the middle. Although I have some straps that are a tad shorter and is right beneath the wrist.
