Can you use apple watch on the inside wrist?
I Am wondering if you can use Apple watch on the inside wrist Instead of facing outwards, it's just the way I've always worn a watch, and wondering if I have to change?

I tested the apple watch multiple times at the apple store and the "auto on" function (when raising your wrist or turning the wrist so that you can read the watch face) DID NOT WORK when wearing the watch on the inside of the wrist. The Apple employees confirmed with me that the screen will not wake up if you wear the watch that way, unless you tap the screen. This is the one thing that is holding me back from buying an apple watch.
How can you submit feedback to apple regarding this?

Thanks for the update - even though the answer isn't what people want, it's useful to have the facts
Yes; I'm lead to believe the skin might be thinner on the inside.

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
Seems to me that Apple want nothing more than people be seen wearing identifiable Apple Watches.
