How far up the wrist do you wear your Rolex?
Just wondering how far up your wrists do you guys wear your watches? I actually tried moving them slightly away from the bone. Usually I wear it just above the bone. Not sure if one works better than the other or its all preference.

Just above my wrist bone. When it gets hot, I open the easy link and it floats over a bit.

I don't think about it much other than on my wrist. I will say one of the things I like about Rolex is the comfort and how they settle into your wrist. Keeping the case slimmer and putting some depth in the caseback and the curved lugs. They are really comfortable and don't move around for a heavy watch. Haven't found that with other brands.

I’ve been messing around with the adjustments on my BLRO. In the past with my divers I would wear them somewhat snug, but I find with the GMT and jubilee that I enjoy wearing it a little bit looser. I would say mine wears above my wrist bone but is loose enough to slide onto the other side...sometimes it’ll stick to my skin but that’s how I’ve been wearing it lately.

Above the elbow, but below the armpit is the general rule.

I think it depends more on the shape, or composition, of your wrist. For myself, and many others, the smallest part of the wrist is below the wrist bone. So wearing above is basically impossible.
YMMV |

My Sub Date is looser than My DD
My Sub Date can move 1.25 inches up and down my wrist when I am cool. When I am hot it can only move about 0.25 inch My DD moves about 3/4 of an inch when I am cool and does not move at all when I am hot

Towards the hand.
Above the bone to me looks weird and feels weird. |

Above the bone, but they're lose enough that they can slide to the other side.

I always read the "right" position is snug above the wrist bone, but almost everybody use his watch loose more to the hand side, artist, actors, models, forist here, almost all of them wear loose his watches, then I think the right answer is in a comfortable way for you. In my case is a little snug above the wrist bone in the day and a little loose in the night, thanks to the magic of the glidelock!

No rule! I just do what is comfortable to ME. :) Done.
I adjust every single watch different myself. Just depends. No real answer. All watches feel different depending. I adjust until is comfortable to me. All never spin on the wrist. All are comfortable when it's hot and when it's cold. There is a fine line.

i used to wear mine slightly looser, but in 2015 i enjoyed a compound fracture of my ulnar process (that’s the knobby “wrist bone”). a very bloody and painful part of a massive downhilling accident. after i recovered enough to wear a watch again, i found the looser setting was slightly uncomfortable on scar tissue and my bone, so i began wearing my watches slightly higher.
but as stated above when it gets hot out, i open the easylink. as long as i’m not bending my wrist much with a watch there i’m not bothered. there is no wrong answer.

Watch on wrist
I wear my watches tight enough so they generally move around a fairly minimal amount. Mine are slightly above the bone.

I love some of the questions people ask on this forum......
Do I wear it in the shower? Do I sleep with it? Do I swim with it? I added extra links and wear it around my biceps, it serves as a temporary tattoo. |

slightly above wrist bone, no movement / flexibility restrains, and no crown digging into the back of my hand.
