As per the title?
By above, I mean as if you’re holding your arm down, so above the ulna.
Also, do you like your AW to feel a little loose, or a little tight?

Wait, which position is above, and which below?
In any case, there's no space between my wrist bone and my hand for the watch to go, and if I tried to wear a watch on my wrist bone, I wouldn't be able to bend my wrist. So the watch is a bit up my arm from my wrist bone. Is that "above"?
And I usually wear my watch so I can insert a finger under the band, but not so loose that the watch moves around.

Below.
Depends on the band.

I wear it on the side closer to my elbow. Not sure if that's what you mean by "above" or "below" ... ?

I put below, since I think that means closer to the elbow.

I'd interpret that as "above", because it's closer to your head.
I wear watches in the same place, although I don't own an Apple one.

Haha I was holding my phone up when I voted so my watch was below my wrist in that position. 🙃

Yes, i like to wear it loose not that much lose that it hang on my wrist but just a little bit so it can freely move from above and below the wrist bone.

Apple guidelines tell you to wear it above your wrist, which must mean above wrist bone. I don't even understand how people would consider wearing it on the wrist, it would be in the way and hinder free movement of the wrist, at least it does for me.
The ulna is one of the lower arm bones (along with the radius), so it runs from the wrist to the elbow. People saying above the ulna, I think you mean on the ulna - that is between the wrist and the elbow somewhere.
I wear mine on the bony protrusions, but ever so slightly shifted towards the elbow side (I wear the sport loop), and it is comfortable and does not keep me from bending my wrist. If I wore it between the bony parts and my hand, that would block the motion of my wrist.

This is specifically where I wear mine. My wrist bone sits up against the top right corner of the watch.

Mine is exactly the same. Whether this is “above” or “below” I don’t know so can’t answer the poll.

I wear it like the manual suggests it should be worn so sensors and everything works correctly.

You’re messing with us
Yeah, but the thread itself has to be messing with us, too.

OMG. I love you. Thanks for the laugh. Yeah, this thread makes no sense, but it’s hard to tell on here when someone is being serious or funny. You take the cake!

To clarify, above the ulna is when your hand is down by your side.
Same goes for below.
I find the SS has a mind of its own. I know it’s heavier than aluminium, but if I have my arm bent upwards, it takes a little walk along my arm.
