As per the title?

By above, I mean as if you’re holding your arm down, so above the ulna.

Also, do you like your AW to feel a little loose, or a little tight?

Wait, which position is above, and which below?

In any case, there's no space between my wrist bone and my hand for the watch to go, and if I tried to wear a watch on my wrist bone, I wouldn't be able to bend my wrist. So the watch is a bit up my arm from my wrist bone. Is that "above"?

And I usually wear my watch so I can insert a finger under the band, but not so loose that the watch moves around.

Above the ulna, mainly because I wear it on my right wrist w/ crown down it helps not press the crown.
"Typically, you should wear it at the tip of the ulna (the bone on your wrist that sticks out)."

The ulna is one of the lower arm bones (along with the radius), so it runs from the wrist to the elbow. People saying above the ulna, I think you mean on the ulna - that is between the wrist and the elbow somewhere.

I wear mine on the bony protrusions, but ever so slightly shifted towards the elbow side (I wear the sport loop), and it is comfortable and does not keep me from bending my wrist. If I wore it between the bony parts and my hand, that would block the motion of my wrist.
 
This is specifically where I wear mine. My wrist bone sits up against the top right corner of the watch.

With enough gap to put a finger in. Not too lose but not too tight either.
 
I wear mine just to the elbow side of my wrist bone. It's the only place where my tattoo doesn't interfere with the sensors. I don't wear it super tight... but tight enough that it doesn't shift around much and lock.
 
To clarify, above the ulna is when your hand is down by your side.

Same goes for below.

I find the SS has a mind of its own. I know it’s heavier than aluminium, but if I have my arm bent upwards, it takes a little walk along my arm.
