Why do you wear your watch half way up your forearm ?
I always wear it to the left of the bony bit on the wrist joint. I know this because I have just checked all my watch photos 
. Looking at the other photos on here it would seem I'm in the minority.Otherwise it would interfere with the movement of my hand and would be annoying.

That's how I wear my watches!. Looking at the other photos on here it would seem I'm in the minority.Otherwise it would interfere with the movement of my hand and would be annoying.
I find it uncomfortable wearing them beside the hand and in the past when I did it bracelets seemed to wear out much faster.

Or are you one of those odd people who like to wear a watch actually on the wrist joint so the crown digs in the back of your hand?
I must admit to feeling slightly uncomfortable when I see watches worn over the wrist joint, it just looks 'wrong' to me, but if it works for you, why not ?

PS I like the Strela, btw, I'd never seen or heard of them before! Can I ask where you got it from?

It's just not right, it is a wrist watch, not an elbow watch, SORT IT OUT.
If you have wrist deformities have them linished off or buy a pocket watch.

Bought a Sub in 2008. Recently sent it off for a service and when I got it back decided that I hadn't missed it. Sold it with all it's service seals still in tact and guess what? Yep I missed it. Just bought a new one and it cost me twice what I paid for the first one! An expensive mistake. I have to say though the new bracelet design is more comfy for me. I won't sell this one!

Yes of course I shall sort it out at once, but unfortunately all my wrist shots show it in the forbidden place.It's just not right, it is a wrist watch, not an elbow watch, SORT IT OUT.

I can't re-take them all.

Presumably because it's where he finds it most comfortable? Looks right to me, up against the back of the lower 'swelling' in the forearm.

Strela is a model of watch originally made by Poljot...a Russian/Soviet manufacturer. They have since split into a number of smaller companies. I got mine from a chap on a watch forum a few years ago. You can get them on ebay if you search worldwide for about £400 new. This is about three times what they were sold for two or three years ago Or are you one of those odd people who like to wear a watch actually on the wrist joint so the crown digs in the back of your hand?

Thanks - Yes, I must admit I balk a bit at paying £400 for a Russian watch. The only one I have is a Scuba Dude and, frankly, it's total tat!I'm sure the Strela's in a different league, but £400 can buy some nice used watches!
