Can you use apple watch on the inside wrist?

I tried moving my arm in a "backwards" motion to activate and then moving it to where I can see it, and it kinda worked...sometimes...but far from awesome.

I also tried switching the setting in the watch app to the opposite of the arm I wear it on, hoping that might fool it into using a different detection algorithm that might just turn out to be easier to activate in the "inside of wrist" orientation. It didn't. It was worse.

I hope lots of you will use the link above to send feedback to apple to add this very necessary settings feature.

The watch works fine on the inside of the wrist, until you exercise. Hitting the dial seems to turn off the app your on. As your hand moves more towards the inside of the wrist there is more chance of turning the app off, making work outs only last a few minutes.

Don't know why Apple configured to only be accurate when worn one way

Yes; I'm lead to believe the skin might be thinner on the inside.

I believe that's what I said.

Turning your wrist down will activate the screen. This is the only solution I got for me a right handed wearing on right hand inside my wrist.

Bring your wrist up like you wearing the watch face on the outside and then just rotate your arm so you can see the watch face. You'll have to be somewhat quick though.

You need to lower it further down and tighten it so it will not slip. Read my other comment on my experience liftin.

Yes! You and me both! This is my only issue. But easily fixed. I just turn the watch around pre Run or workout! Except the times I forget... ugh! Lol
