Random Rants

Exactly. Wear something in a way that makes you comfortable. I wear some watches higher on my wrist, some lower. It depends on the watch.
-
@Giles ok I'll ask: what was the unsolicited instruction that inspired the rant? People love giving advice, no more so than when they are exceedingly unqualified.

@StarsSuck it was @northsouthdenimguy experience on Reddit
One post above his.
-
@goosehd ah. Reddit explains it.
-
@NickD some people like their watches baggy like their pants, dowhatchalike...

not to beat a dead horse, but I will anyway. Another thing people don’t always understand is that everyone’s anatomy is different. My ulnar styloid doesn’t really protrude at all, so I actually wear my watch right on top of it rather than above it. With a larger watch, it probably looks like it’s sitting way down on my wrist below the bone, but it’s not. I can see why people wear it above if they have a noticeable protruding bone as it’s probably uncomfortable to be on it or even below it

@northsouthdenimguy I had to google "ulnar styloid" to make sure it was what i thought it was, and it was - the most uncomfortable part of watch wearing for me. Must be nice! Enjoy your non-protrusive wrist bone. lol. I'm one of the ones who keeps my watch high and tight on a nato strap to avoid contact.

Yeah I heard that’s the next trend with high-end watch buyers… quick little ulnar styloid shave so the case sits flatter.

-
@northsouthdenimguy LOL it was the first thing that came to my mind!
nothing I cant handle with my trusty angle grinder....
-
@WhiskeySandwich Feinsaw does a way neater job then the grinder to get proper shape. Unless you can't shape with a Feinsaw then it's a skill issue....
-
@GoodtimeJohnny i think its a skill AND money issue lol
OR, i could avoid the self-surgery and grind down my watch casebacks...
-
@WhiskeySandwich Much much cheaper and think how much lighter the watch will feel!
-
@goosehd Imagine the benefits though, with 1/2 an oz shaved off the case there's no way any regular watch wearer could beat him to a TV remote ever again. It's like cheating but smarter

@goosehd Gotta take the advantages where you can get them! haha
