Apple's documentation used to state that it needed to be worn on the top of your wrist. However, the current support article doesn't seem to mention that at an all.

Oh boy! IdrisSeabright is right!
From within the link that he provided, it does say that it needs to be worn on the top of the wrist. But... like he also said, and I've seen it time and time again too, there are a several people who wear them under their wrists.
So, just beware that you may or may not get the most accurate readings possible.
There isn't a setting for that however, it should operate just fine while being worn that way.
If the screen is upside down, you'll need to change the orientation by going here:
On your phone, open the My Watch app.
Then click on General, then click Watch Orientation.
Oh, that's where it is! I was looking in the wrong article.
