I have been in the market for watches, regular analog automatics, and many of the images of people wearing them are so frustrating. Why? Because they are wearing them upside down!
Just look at the first image of the watch next to the header "THE PREMIER WEARABLE BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR AND MUCH MORE."
Why is it like that? You wouldn't wear the watch that way. Why is this a problem you ask? Because now I can't imagine what it looks like anymore. Just picture the watch as you'd wear it!
I expect I am not in a majority with this opinion, but that doesn't really change how I see it ;).
- Ma8ee 7y agoYou don't think that this specific watch always show the face turned "right", in the same way as your phone does when you turn it?
- mosselman 7y agoThat would make glancing at it when it isn’t ‘facing up’ kind of annoying. So I doubt it. Then again, the alternative is that they pictured it wrong. Either way sucks.
- samatman 7y agoI'm left handed, and wear watches on my right wrist. So, you might not wear a watch that way. But I do.
- mosselman 7y agoThat is what upside down means. Do you wear your watch with the 12 facing down when you hold it up to look at the time? I don’t think so.
- samatman 7y agoHah, no, of course I don't. With an apple watch, I do wear the hardware in the configuration shown. But I have it set so that the screen is 'upside down'. For a conventional watch, the crown is on the 'wrong' side; one gets used to it. I didn't notice that the screen was 'upside down' relative to the user, until you pointed it out twice. So I can only conclude that the photographers who take these sorts of photos know what they're doing, and you're an outlier.
