What causes a watch to 'ride up'?
By: HW : January 26th, 2014-18:08
A mundane question - has anybody here figured out what causes a watch to 'ride up' your wrist? - Is it the flatness/design of the caseback? - Is it the shape of your wrist? - Is it actually where the buckle finds a fitting spot at the bottom of your wrist...

Clockwise around the wrist

Not up or down the hand towards the elbow or hand. But the watch rotates upwards clockwise so that the watch is not centered on the wrist but higher up. I hope I am describing this accurately.
No worries - you're getting thru. With straps, it's a combination . . .

. . . of two factors. As Fernando mentioned, the spacing of the prong holes is critical, and unfortunately, there's not much that can be done if a particular strap doesn't have holes punched where one provides a snug fit. Tightening up a notch is not alwa...

I always have it shorter at six to centre the watch on the wrist. For straps, tightening a notch usually helps. :)
Changing to another strap of the same length . . .

. . . could also help, Anthony, because the holes will be punched in a different location. It doesn't take much of a shift to produce a fit that will remain centered on a wearer's wrist. The closer one gets to an optimally placed hole and the more supple ...
It's not only that. You also need the buckle placement correct

My opinion of correct buckle placement, assuming one wears watch on left wrist, is to have to buckle sit slightly to the left of the middle of the wrist. Why left of center of wrist? Because watch buckles are slight curved to fit the curvature of your wri...
Thanks a lot guys

for the excellent feedback! This community is awesome. My own analysis is also that I need to make the bracelet at the 6 position shorter to have the watch stay centered. So the confirmation of this from Fernando and Anthony is great. I will head to the s...
Sometimes a little test helps:

you may try to strap the watch upside down, to simulate swapping of the 6 and 12 o'clock ends.

It's many factors for me but the most prominent cause seems to be the shape of the caseback and the amount of contact the back has with the flat of my wrist. For example my old Rolex Seadweller 16600 always rotated as the relatively small amount of caseba...
