Do you wear your watch with the crown closer to your wrist or away from it? I’ve worn it facing both ways and can’t decide which I prefer.

Both. I keep swapping the watch from left to right, depending on what I'm doing, and don't bother to switch orientation. So when it's on my left wrist, crown is facing one way, and when it's on my right, it faces the other way. Doesn't really bother me which way the buttons are facing, it's as easy (or as hard) to manipulate either way. Ever since the iPhone got shortcuts to manipulate the watch, that became the main way I interact with my watch. I don't really use the crown anymore.

I just think it looks a little weird with the crown on the left side. That's the only reason I wear it the way I do, which is how most people seem to wear them.

I wear mine on my right wrist since I’m left handed with the crown on left.
That’s originally how I wore it too, I’m also left handed. But then one day the watch stopped wrist detecting through my tattoos. So now it’s stuck on my left.

I’m right handed, but wear mine on my right wrist. Unreliable on my left wrist, as it’s tattooed. Both wrists are, but it works fine through the light fuchsia colored in on the right wrist, with the crown to the right. Always found the crown would dig in to me if I wear it with the crown closer the the hand.
