.....wrist. Which do you like to do? And even if you don't really wear watches, in your life which way have you worn it in the past?

I don't like wearing watches. I always thought face-down was for women or effeminate teachers.

If for some reason I were to ever wear a watch again, I'd wear it face up

I mainly see old people wearing them face down. still, it might look a little weird but you can check your watch that way without making it obvious you are looking.

I've always worn it face up. I've seen very few people wear it face down. I can't understand why people would wear it face down because it's inconvenient and uncomfortable.

If I had a NORMAL watch I'd wear it face up, as of right now, got a Pocket Watch instead, call me old fashioned or whatever but, I kinda like the look of those more....

No man should ever wear his watch face down. It's really effeminate.

Face down watches seem to be a common theme for post-apocalyptic heroes.

I Am Legend (film) and Metro 2033/Metro Last Light come to mind.

Those are the only instances where I've seen it in use.

I wear all watches face up on my wrist, as face down on my wrist would require divination to tell the time.

Like Smarkil said: military. They told us to keep the face down so that way the glare off the face doesn't give us away.

Having said that the only time I wore a fucking watch was when I was deployed or doing PT because I was a normal adult with a cellphone.

I thought they meant putting the watch face against your skin.

Even then, the Army has constant long sleeves and I have to make a conscious effort to get my watch out from under the sleeve.

That too. That must be a throwback to the cool days when we could roll up our sleeves.

im having trouble wrapping my head around this, too.

its not physically possible to put a watch with the face against your skin, and wear it that way at least on regular watch straps.

If I had bothered to read the OP I would have seen what TC meant. But even so, I wouldn't really consider this "face down." I simply thought face down meant that the face of watch was facing down (with your wrist in the normal position).

It's totally depends. I'm constantly flepping it depending on what I'm doing or holding.
I'd guess it usually sits upright though

When I wear watches face up they knock against one of my wrist bones or whatever and it's aggravating, so face down.
