Do your watches migrate on your wrist?

Anyone else, no matter how they arrange links, have their watch continually shift towards one side of their wrist? As in the photo, my watches always move towards the pinky side of my wrist.

Even happens on leather and Marine Nationale straps. Is a constant battle.

I'm wearing a proper small quartz today that stays in place. The big heavy junk waffles all over. I think it flops away from me, towards pinky. I'll verify tomorrow.

One possible solution would be to take more links out on one side than the other to compensate.

Do it up tighter....

Nope. Have tried that. Doesn't work

Yeah, no

I started wearing my watch much tighter than the average person for just this reason. It works and now if my watch isn't tight on my wrist, it feels incredibly weird.

·

That’s why I like my bracelets to be relatively tight. Having my watch constantly moving up and down on my wrist all day drives me insane.

There is a hack for this. When you get your watch on wrist then don't center it. Get it as far towards your tumb as possible and over some time the watch will center itself and stays there. If it slides towards tumb then you do the same except you get the watch as far as possible to pinky when you get it on the wrist. Trick is you have to twist the watch couple of times the opposite way as it's leaning and one more important thing is that you can doit with fresh wrist only, doesn't work if you had the watch already on the wrist on given day

Your wruw galley photos prove you have flat wrist, so the next natural step is to use double sided adhesive tape. 😂

Yup, have this with most of my watches but not with a couple of them so it does seem to be down to getting the fit just so. It's not a weight thing or a bracelet vs strap thing either, plenty smaller lighter models do it, not just the heavier guys. One solution might be Erika's Originals straps: they keep your watch right smack where you want it...

Yep, towards my foot.

The huge wrist knuckle pushes it toward the thumb every time.

Have started adjusting to wear tighter. Seems to help significantly.
