How To Wear Apple Watch?
Like other watches and smartwatches, Apple Watches are also meant to be worn the same way i.e. on your wrist. And the process of wearing it is also the same as other watches, be it a cheap or luxury watch.
However, you are not reading this article to know about the conventional way and are probably looking for some out-of-the-box ways to wear your Apple Watch, right?
Well, I have got some ways that you can try.
Alternative Ways To Wear Apple Watch
Let us look at different ways that you can wear your Apple Watch.
1) Wear It Upside Down
The first method that you can try is to wear your watch upside down i.e. inside of your wrist. In this method, you do not have to change the orientation of your Apple Watch. All you have to do is wear it normally upside down.
2) Change The Orientation
The other alternative way to wear the Apple Watch is to change its orientation. When you wear the Apple Watch normally, its crown will face your fingers. You can change the orientation of your Watch and make the crown face your elbow. This way, your Apple Watch will track your heart rate and other health metrics accurately and you will be able to see the time and information whenever you want.
3) Change Your Hand
You can also change the orientation of your Apple Watch and wear it on your right hand. If you have got tired of wearing your watch in your left hand then you can wear it in your right hand for a change. The advantage of this way is that you will not lose out on important information like heart rate and other body health parameters.
4) Wear It On Your Ankle
It may sound funny but you will be surprised to know that it works. In fact, people wear fitness trackers while pushing a stroller on their ankles. When worn on the ankle, Apple Watch will track your steps accurately. However, it probably won’t be able to track your heart rate accurately.
5) Wear It On Your Chest
If you want to wear your Apple Watch other than your wrist but like to track your health metrics then you can also buy a chest strap and wear your Apple Watch on your chest.
6) Wear It On Your Arm
You can also wear your Apple Watch on your arms using a strap. Most athletes around the world use this way of wearing an Apple Watch. So if you are an athlete too then you can also use this way.
7) Use It Like A Necklace
If you do not want to wear the Apple Watch on your wrist but like to show it off then you can wear it like a necklace. You will be surprised to know that people are actually wearing their Apple Watch like a necklace. And you can even find the Watch covers and necklaces that allow you to do that. However, using this alternative way to wear Apple Watch, you will not be able to keep track of your heart rate.
8) Use It Like A Pocket Watch
If you are a little old-fashioned then you can also wear your Apple Watch as a pocket watch. You can find Apple Watch covers and chains specifically designed for Apple Watches. With the help of these, you can use your Apple Watch as a pocket watch. But the thing that you need to note here is that your Apple Watch will not be able to monitor your heart rate and other body metrics while being in your pocket.
9) Change The Bands
If you have got tired of wearing the same old watch in the same old fashion then you can change its bands to spice things up. There are a number of comfortable Apple Watch bands that you can buy and use. Some people even use a scarf as a band to wear their Apple Watch. You can even buy a stainless steel strap for your Apple Watch if you want.
10) Use It With Skin Adhesives
If you do not want to wear your Apple Watch with the bands or straps at all then this way is for you. You can use skin adhesives to wear your Apple Watch on any part of your body. Adhesives will keep the watch in place and will let it track your body’s health metrics. However, since smartwatches are made to use on wrists so I can’t say how accurate will the readings be.
11) Use It With A Hook
You can also wear your Apple Watch with a hook that you can either hang on your backpack or you can also hang on the loop of your pants. Using a hook you can also use your Apple Watch as a key ring.
What Is The Correct Way To Wear Apple Watch?
Now that you know about the different ways that the Apple Watch can be worn, let me tell you about the correct way to wear an Apple Watch.
According to Apple, Apple Watch sensors that measure body health metrics like heart rate, SpO2, etc. work only if the Apple Watch is worn on the wrist. If you wear it on the inside of your wrist even then the sensors will not work properly.
So the only right way to wear an Apple Watch is on the top of the wrist if you want to keep track of your body. If tracking your health is not important then you can wear it anywhere you want.
How To Wear Apple Watch In Water?
Apple Watches come with a 50M water-resistant rating. So you don’t actually have to do anything differently to wear your Apple Watch in the shower or in water.
Just wear it normally and jump right into the pool or head straight to the shower. The 50M water resistance of the Apple Watch will prevent it from any water damage. You can wear it in the shower, in the rain, in the swimming pool, etc.
Where To Wear Apple Watch Other Than Wrist?
Well as discussed earlier, there are various alternative ways to wear your Apple Watch other than on your wrist. You can wear it on your ankle, on your chest, on your neck, etc.
But as discussed, there is only one way you should wear your Apple Watch. And that way is wearing it on the top of your wrist. When you wear it on your wrist, then the sensors and green lights at the back of the Apple watch will touch the skin of your wrist. And your Apple Watch will be able to measure your heart rate and other body health parameters. So if you have purchased the Apple Watch to keep track of your body’s health then you should wear it only on your wrist.
