Apple Watch on the inside of wrist?

Is it possible to wear an Apple Watch on the inside of your wrist and have it respond properly when you lift your wrist to read it? Some kind of adjustment would have to be made to the settings, and I have not found how to do that.

I also prefere to wear my watch on the underside of my wrist. This works for me:


Try this:

Wear your watch on your left wrist but set the watch orientation

Wear Apple Watch on: Right Wrist.


The watch seems to respond correctly.

I’d think such expensive watches would have an available settings that many other watches have the invert simple dial and altimeter settings. Many people wear all sort of watches on the inside of wrist. It allows for you privacy, especially these days when data privacy as in such big question. Your shoulders don’t even stop someone from suffering if only out side wrist wear.
