What other reasons can *YOU* think of for wearing the Apple Watch UPSIDE DOWN?!
BMACadelic I've seen iJustine wear hers upside down on her right wrist, because she's left handed.
I accidentally called 911 at the gym once
I wear my watch on my right wrist like this bc im left handed.
It puts the speaker and mic in a better position when you raise the watch to your pretty pretty FACE ; )
BMACadelic because I rather be a rebel 😂
I wear my Apple watch inside out where the screen touches my skin 'cause I don't want to scratch the face.
I wouldn't recommend that as that defeats the purpose of the Watch, but you do you!
LostInMySpace 😂
Me2
BMACadelic r/woooosh
Jack Bashed ikr😂
I’ve always done the same with mine! My husband thought I was weird and then a few weeks later I noticed he’d changed his orientation!!
Happy to hear it!
😂 that’s actually adorable
I use to do it the way this guy did it I went back to the original. I originally did it to stop accidentally emergency call but somehow I still hit it a few times with the way he did it just not as much. I can’t where a case on my anymore I got mine good plated defeats the whole purchase of purchase that extra gold played job showing it off.
To each their own. I just tried this and found the dial would also hit my forearm the other way, but either way I barely noticed. While I did find the dial slightly easier to hit with my thumb, I found it much harder to hit the button above it because the dial partially blocked my big thumb from it in that orientation.
I'm often bumping up against the crown and it's annoying. I was thinking of wearing it on my right wrist as a result. Thanks for pointing out you don't have to do that; you can change it within settings.
Gonna get the series 3 in a couple of weeks and its my first apple watch ever..I feel like you are really reasonable and I just might do this from the start, so it basically is not weird to me and get used to it that way! Thanks for another great video x
Happy to hear it, Irene! Let me know what you think of the Apple Watch when you get it!
Irene Kyr I’m going to get my series 3 in a few weeks and it’ll be my first too!
Been doing it this way for years just because of the gym. Using straps and certain workouts having the crown facing towards your hand always caused issues. Surprised I don’t see more people doing this.
Happy to hear it!
thank you so much for making this video, i just received a iwatch 3 for my birthday and it drives me crazy that every time i move my hands the stop watch goes off. big help!!!!
Happy to hear it!
I actually had a question, I wanted to know what kind of bands do you use on your Apple Watch, while at the gym ? I only ask because I heard some people find it uncomfortable to have a leather or metal band while working out and find a plastic or fabric mesh material is more breathable on you wrist
I wear mine that way cause every time I put my hand in my pocket with jeans on it would press the buttons
Good point!
this just blew my damn mind. I've owned my watch over a year and never even wondered why I had the option of selection the side the digital crown was worn on. I do boxing and my wraps and gloves always stop my activity tracker which was so annoying. Excited to try this at the gym tonight and see if it helps.
Happy to hear it! How did it work out for you?
I wore mine upside down so when im washing hand the mic and the digital crown will not get splashed of water which i think will prevent water coming inside the mic , because i guess only the speaker grill has the water ejector
Should I Get the Iwatch 3 OR 4
I wear my AirPods upside down, but I’m not going to make a video about it.
I do the same weirdly they are more comfortable upside down.
OM Goodness! Why didn’t i think of this! I have called emergency services TWICE by accident. Every time I do a push up, mountain climbers etc the siren goes off! I even tried sweat bands, pushing the watch further up my are (it slips down again when you sweat). 😊 great tip!!!
Helpful video can you make a review for the teck (dual sim card bluetooth adapter for iphone) and see if it work for the apple watch please please please I'm always looking into your videos
Why does the apple watch pause, while I'm using the workout app?
Series 5
Thank you! I didn’t know you could do this and I’m always accidentally pressing the digital crown! 🙌🏼
Happy to help, Kelsey!
Last winter I was shocked that my ski glove had activated the emergency call, calling 911 and my sending my wife a message. I now wear it upside down all winter.
I tried it, but I'm not comfortable with reaching over the crown to press the multitask button. Would be great if that button were perhaps on the other side.
Have only had my apple watch for a couple of weeks. As a chiropractor, I'm constantly extending my wrists as you mentioned. Siri or the emergency sounds come on even when muted when working with clients, and I've been dying to find a fix for this!! Thank you!! I also agree that accessing the digital crown with my thumb this way is much more natural.
Damn Dude!! Great video. I never thought of this in all the time I’ve had an Apple Watch... I’m disabled & a wheelchair user. I was always hitting the crown when pushing myself around. You’re a lifesaver & have turned my life upside down (Well, my watch at least)
I’m so happy to hear that you found this video, Wayne! That’s exactly why I made it. Thank you so much for watching and sharing your thoughts!
Wayne I’m also a disabled person and when I get my watch I’m going to do that also
Thanks for this video! I was having the same issues with the crown accidentally being pushed. Seems to be way less with the new iWatch 3 - but I switched from your video and prefer it this way! Awesome solution! thanks!
Happy to hear it! Thank you!
I’ve had mine exactly like this since I got it! It’s just more comfortable for me like that, felt weird pressing the crown on the right side 🤷🏼♀️
Happy to hear it, Samantha!
I ran in college and when I first started running there the #1 girl wore her garmin upside down and I asked her why?? She told me it’s bc it’s on the heart rate and you can view your time easier than flipping your wrist... ever since then I haven’t looked back! only down side is I needed to buy a screen protector.
I have mine set “backwards” too but for a different reason. It’s easier to use my thumb to push and turn the crown.
Yes! That’s another great reason to wear the Apple Watch this way!
Where can I buy this leather thing on your watch
Link in video description box!
Great idea! Thank you. I was mowing the lawn today and the workout paused! Couldn't believe it. Is there a way to lock the screen after setting up the workout so it doesn't do this?
Yes! I believe there should be a lock button on the workout app!
I wear my watch on left wrist also and I guess upside down. I am nurse and it works best for taking pulses. My main ? is do you wear a cover over glass so it does not get scratched.
That's cool, Kathy! At the moment I am not wearing a screen protector, but I am wearing a case. My recommendations for both can be found in the video description box if you're interested!
Thanks a lot for the vid dude, I wear mine “upside down” now, and like it so much better 👌🏽
Happy to hear it!
I might have to switch to this myself, especially for the gym
Let me know how it works out for you if you do, Shawn!
Wear the watch 3 or 4 inches up on the correct hand and you won’t hit the crown at the gym if you tried.
I do this also!! I found the digital crown was in the way and I found it hard to use the watch with my non dominant hand since i’m right handed.
At the very beginning, which band color you were wearing? Desert or brown?
Brown!
You're so funny dude! You have a new subscriber! I just changed my settings and put the digital crown on the left side! Let's see how it goes! :)
I just adjust the band one notch looser and move it higher for when I cycle and I wear gloves, problem solved.
I personally like to adjust my bands as little as possible, but that works too!
Now my question is that what if you’re going to use the ECG feature. How are we going to place our finger at the digital crown?
You can use your thumb!
i flipped it also flipped my straps too so it was just like how it was on the right
“Or if your giving someone some sass” *flips wrist* 😂
:-D
I was tired of the accidental screenshots. I guess I could disable that feature.
That could be another reason, yes!
I am now wearing mine upside down. One thing I did was switch the watch band with each other so i was able to put it on the same as before...what I was used to. Thanks for the tip.
Happy to hear!
How did you able to change the colour of the minute and hour hand??? Aren't that not customisable by default???
Those should be white by default. My color grading may have made them look slightly different than normal!
Damn! I’m glad I found this video. I have been wondering why Apple would put the Digital Crown on the side closets to the wrist where it would get bumped all the time!
Happy to help!
Thank you. I bought the watch a week ago and I have to wear safety gear in my workplace that is always activating them buttons this helped immensely not to get accustomed to the buttons
Happy to hear it, MiguelNEZ!
Thank you!!! I'm an organist and keyboard player. While playing sometime I would notice the watch screen is on because the back of my hand would have pressed the crown.
Great idea! Ive already made the switch. 😊
You are my Apple iWatch hero! This is a total gym game changer for me 💪🏻
Thank you for the kind words, Jeni! Happy to hear!
It's not an Apple iWatch it's Apple Watch.
This is how I normally wear mine anyway. Because I live in the upside down.
Obsessed with Stranger Things much?
@@visionar007 no they’re just Australian
Love it. Many times I’d accidentally bang the crown on a door. Or sometimes even the tight sleeve of a windbreaker would cause the crown to depress. Depressing.. Gotta try this. Wondering how long it will take to get used to. Curious about activating Apple Pay, which I use daily
Hope this helps!
So with the Series 1 being on sale for $180, is the cheaper Series 1 good enough considering it is older technology or is the extra ~$150 for the Series 3 worth it?
Rebecca G. Yes it’s worth it, wait for boxing day
It depends on how big of a difference that $150 makes for you but, yes, I can say that my Series 3 is substantially faster and more reliable than my Series 1!
I did the switch. Huge difference. Went form not really usable to "this is my favorite device"
Life saver! I get so tired of Siri trying to have conversations with me unsolicited.
Happy this helps!
I’ve always wore it that way for the same reason 😂
Happy to hear it!
I have to wear it like that any ways but one my right wrist as I'm left handed
That works!
Does it work with the ol hand shandy
Just switched to this way of wearing it, when bench pressing it would always change the volume of music and blow out my ear drums, or it would get Siri to start talking to me and we all know that nobody wants that.
OMG this is a game changer. I’m always hitting the Digital Crown and I’m always like. 🤬 Thank you. Now just to get used to it. Wish I would have know this years ago before I trained myself to have the Digital Crown on the right side. Who knew that the Left-Side WAS the right side to wear it. 😂
How do you change it?
Absolutely correct. Im not even a gym-goer and just fixing things and doing normal work activity, I run into the same exact problems. Siri is always asking me what I said. There's nothing incorrect about wearing it this way, the settings purposely allow you to wear it with any orientation and with any wrist after all, so this was predicted to be a possible preference.
Glad that we have this feature!
What is the band your using in this video for the apple watch? I like that color combo
Link in the video description box!
🤯🤯🤯 thx for the great tip!
No problem!
The sass 😂😂😂😂
#TheSass
How to turn off auto brightness in apple watch series 3 please help me...and i want total brightness off tell me
Most of your Apple Watch settings can be set within the Apple Watch iOS app on your iPhone.
I wear mine this way and have done so for awhile because I find it easier to push the crown with my thumb instead of my pointer finger. The series 4 ECG works the same using my thumb versus pointer.
Happy to hear it!
It’s entirely possible that you have changed my life for ever. Had no idea I could do that. Thank you!!!
That’s incredible to hear! Thank you for watching!
BMAC is always great and funny to watch your videos, keep it up !
Thanks so much, Esteban! I appreciate that!
Since the very first time a put the watch on I had to reverse the crown on the left. I cannot use the watch with in on the right, I would always activate the crown.
Same! Hope this helps!
What band are you wearing in this video? I don’t see it linked?
Link is in the video description box!
Could be useful if you do a lot of biking. Idk I just ordered mine last week and it’s coming tomorrow so I’m going to try it out like this first.
Amazing I never thought about it I’m a bus driver I wear gloves
Happy to help!
I done that the day I got mine, it’s easier to use the the buttons the side, and there no wrong or right way to wear it, that’s why you got the option to rotate the screen and my wrist bone pops out so much the watch is uncomfortable so I have to have mine below my wrist a little, and using my thumb with the buttons is a lot easier and better than using your index finger or other fingers
Thanks for sharing your experience, Seth!
MIND BLOWWWWWNNNNN!!! I have had the same problem with my apple watch when I used it to track my fitness when lifting. I tried first locking the buttons to stop my wrist wraps from messing with the buttons (ultimately stop my watch from tracking my workout) but my wrist wraps would somehow unlock the watch and would stop my workouts anyway! I then have started switching my watch to wear it on the inside of my right wrist. I resolved the issue (somewhat) of my watch failing to track my work outs but now i face the problem where I will finish with a heavy lift and my watch will either not register my heart rate or say my heart rate is 50-80 BPM when it is doubled that. I am gonna try your suggestion for myself and see how it works.
I hope it works out well for you! Thank you for watching!
thumbs up from me, finally ur videos getting fast good views, am so happy bro , I was waiting for you to make money from youtube , good luck my best youtuber :)
Thanks so much, GOR! I appreciate the support!
Thanks that helped a lot
where is the next video bro, don't stop uploading
we are waiting to smash the like button :)
SMASH IT!!! lol love that word!
I ran into this problem at training in ait for the army, we were getting smoked, doing push ups and Siri went off, the drills sgt heard, and it didn’t end well for me lol they took the watch from me and made me do ALOT more push ups
Man!!! Thanks for this. I workout and on back day I use straps and I constantly kept pressing that button
Happy to help, Nelson!
I wear mine around my head so when I look in the mirror I look at the time and not my ugly face.😂
Dude. I tried it, and my life is forever changed! 🤭Thank you!
So happy to hear it, Luis!
I wear it on my right hand and it’s really useful that way. It gets in the way when I use it in the left hand because I’m left handed and when I’m writing it’s just impossible to just have it on
Happy to hear that you've found what works best for you!
I’m weird too in how I wear mine. I’m right handed but wear the watch on my left arm with the crown facing my arm not wrist. Moments are tracked better if on the dominant arm.
There ya go! Glad you've found what works best for you!
I love this! game changer! I don’t know how I came about this video but I’m glad I did changes everything ❤️💁♀️
Happy to help!
I once flexed my left hand back and held the side button in and inadvertently called 911. Embarrassed to say the least.
So the cops actually came? To be a fly on the wall for that one.
Ahahahaha that's a great story!
my mom works at a school and a kid held it down and same thing happened and cops showed up lmao. she stopped wearing it to work after that.
John Pontoon idk what happened but i think my hand pushed now the power button and called the cops thank god no one came thats a good thing and a bad thing
That same thing happened to me as I was closing my roof door after I finished smoking a blunt
I've been doing this since I got it. I got frustrated and almost took the watch back in the first couple of weeks. I kept turning it off or siri talking etc. Then I got to thinking, if you can configure it to be worn on left or right wrist, maybe I can just flip it. I was so happy to discover this.
Happy to hear it’s working out for you this way!
Perfect tip. I have been having the same problem @ the gym with my straps hitting the dial and asking if I want to shut down or dial SOS.
Happy to help!
MIND. BLOWN.
Happy to have blown your mind!
Accidentally pressing the Digital Crown has been doing my head in, especially when working in or near water. Cheers problem solved now. Awesome!
Happy to help!
First 😎notifications squad
WOOT WOOT! Congrats, Connor - and Thank you!
I wear it this way to stop myself from pressing both buttons at once, I have activated 911 more that once. I work on cars and it keeps the crown from getting hit reaching under the hood. Once I changed it, have yet to accidentally activate the buttons since...
Happy to hear!
I completely agree with this. I have the same problem when I am cycling...the gloves often push the side button and end up (almost) calling emergency services.
"or if you are giving someone some sass" I couldn't click subscribe bottom faster.
😂 Welcome to the channel!
OK, I tried it , and I like it upside down.
Happy to hear it!
GodGunsGutsandNRA i hate it I’m left handed wearing Apple Watch on left hand with Digital Crown on right side and it’s way comfy
It’s automatically makes emergency call to 911 on main happened many times while I’m working and a nurse so it’s wired when it happens don’t know how to change it I just stoped wearing it
I can’t thank you enough for this tip! I am right handed and started wearing my watch on my right because of how uncomfortable it was on my left and hitting the button. I lost the ability to swipe text (right handed) Thank you
Happy to help you out, Yvette!
Good idea, hated pressing crown on right. Nice tip.
And it hides the stupid red top
Glad you liked it!
Thumbs up for elliptical girl!
Ayeeeeee!
I’ve always did it after the first week. I lift weights and it presses the button. I haven’t watched the entire video but that my reason.
Thank you!! I run heavy equipment for a living. My wrist is constantly hitting the buttons on the watch. Not anymore!!! Problem solved.
Happy to help!
Skip to 3:33 for instructions. Thank me later!
*Start watching at 0:00 to enjoy the entire video. Thank me later! 🙂
I couldn't watch the rest of the video after he repeated himself. FYI just get to the point
No worries if my style isn’t for you. Thanks for stopping by.
@@itstheBMAC thanks for not taking it personally. I don't really like videos where the host repeats themselves
@@itstheBMAC and I wasn't hating on you, I'm not sure if it came out that way to you
No worries. Like I said, I’ve got my style and you’ve got your preference. It’s all good if they don’t match up.
while motorriding I usually have music on, so when I move my wrist in a way while pulling my clutch it would sometimes change the volume and suddenly be extremely loud. so I flipped it upside down and problem solved.
There ya go!
I set mine up this way tonight. Let’s see how it works. It is less awkward to use the thumb.
Been wearing it this was for a month or so and I really like it. I am a fan!
Dude... slow down your mouth. Say it straight instead a long verbose rambling.
Dude... if my style isn’t for you, that’s fine. Many others readily appreciate it.
Sounds like you were envious that day Mark. Seeing someone approach life energy, positivity and humour must be really irritating - right?
Dude you literally could just put your Apple Watch on your right wrist
I never wear watches on my right wrist as a right-handed individual, TJ Petersen!
That literally solves NOTHING. If he's at the gym, people do stuff with both fucking hands... Wow dude, you didn't think that through at all
Tristan Petricca wrong. In the right hand the crown will be on the other side which is not disturbed by hand movement.. Watch the video again why he used it like that for.
Tristan Petricca booiii👋
tj i dont trust people who wear watches on their rights wrists.
I have that issue as well. I just push it up my arm a little bit when I’m doing those things
If that works for you, that's all that matters!
I have the aluminum Series 3 Apple Watch 42mm and I chose to turn it upside down after I hit my watch’s digital crown on a grocery cart and dented the metal slightly. I like this orientation better for my watch as I’m less likely to swing my wrist and hit it on things, the mic is in a better position when I’m wearing a jacket (it doesn’t cover up the mic as much), and I never accidentally hit either of the two buttons on the side of the watch when bending my wrist.
Thank you for sharing, Taylor!
