Could've sworn I read that the apple watch doesn't work properly if worn on the underside of your wrist?
FWIW I quite like the idea of wearing it on the underside, it seems a more ergonomic way of using a smartwatch.
be around long after.[/QUOTE]No, he's correct.
It's in the manual. Apple watch must be work on top of the wrist for sensors to work. Chapter 12, page 57.
"In addition, the sensors will work only when you wear Apple Watch on the top of your wrist."
I did this (Omega on the left, plastic original Pebble on the right) for a day under long sleeves just to see if I could live with the Pebble. That Pebble is still in a drawer somewhere. I can understand how you feel, I have an auto winder loaded with high end Swiss timepieces and also feel a little bad I'm not using them, but not bad enough to do what you're doing.
It's either a new chapter or in six months there may be some reason to go back. The watches aren't fruit, they'll be around long after.
I've always worn a watch on the inside of my wrist; Don't ask me why, it's just the way I was taught when I was gifted my first Casio 22 years ago and it's always stuck with me. It feels foreign wearing it any other way. But I definitely can say the sensors all work fine, heart-rate monitor included.
I don't have any problems with bumping my watch on my Macbook Pro or on my desk or on anything else. Maybe it's because I've been wearing my watch this way since before computers even, so I've learned to compensate.
