So even my very small watch I wear in the same place, high, above the wrist bone. It does rotate around a bit but since the face is very small and rectangular it doesn't bother me (I do turn it back whenever I notice though). I wear my watch on my left arm because I am right handed. I do have very small wrists as well, like many of you, but the saving grace is that my wrist bone is knobby, so it keeps the watch from sliding down. (But a bracelet watch won't stay up, that's why I stick with leather bands).
Mani, that's interesting. I usually just wear both my bracelets and my watch on the left arm. I kind of like that if I'm wearing a big watch it also prevents the bracelets from going too low; I don't like anything (watch or bracelet) to be below my wrist and touching my hand. My big wonder woman style cuffs have to go on the right arm though, no room for that and a watch!
DV, you reminded me that in college sometimes I would turn my watch to the inside of my arm so that it was easier to glance at in in lecture! I guess now that we all have cell phones it's not really an issue any more.
Angie (and others who wear it a little lower) does the big watch face impede your hand movement? I have a feeling I might be a little bit double jointed, because my hand actually bends backward to about a 90% angle, and a big watch face at the back of the wrist like yours prevents it from doing that, which feels really restrictive to me! Do other people's hands not bend backwards at all?
ETA: Here are some really odd looking pictures of my arm so you can see what I mean. I promise my arm does not look as creepy in real life! First picture is how I wear my watch, and how far my hand bends. In the second picture I pushed the watch down to my wrist, and you can see that the face is preventing my wrist from bending all the way. This is an ~20mm watch, so you can imagine the big 40mm one is even worse. (Also you can see my watch tan line, which shows how far up I usually wear it!)
