Then wear the watch in a correct way and show it away from the body. That looks more natural...

I agree... it's just that is not as easy as it sounds, at least if you want to maintain the background and keep the camera steady... To achieve the proper lighting, background, angle and everything is challenging. I'll work on an away from the body shot because I always listen to and try to respond to viewer feedback. It's just not as easy on this one as it sounds like it should be. I actually added the wrist shots of me because people wanted to see it on a man's and not just a woman's wrist

[WatchKomrade]

because if you wear the watch right side up on the correct arm, the watch will appear upside down and backwards in the actual shooting. It's possible to use the left arm, but then you are turning it awkwardly. This way the viewer sees the watch the way you would see if you were wearing it, as opposed to the model...

Why does the models wear the watch upside down on the right arm???

[WatchKomrade]

additionally, if you wore the watch upside down on the left arm, which is the way the dial would be right side up for the viewer, the crown would be facing the wrong way for you to get an idea of how it will connect with the back of your hand... I hope this makes sense. Bottom line, you would be seeing an upside down watch if we filmed it "right side up" and the crown would be in the wrong direction if we corrected that only but stayed with the left hand

Interseting watch. It has a few nice features (crown - bezel), but overall is a bit cartoonish. The placement of the subseconds directly centered with the left case bar also results in complete obstruction of the second hand when it is near 30 and 60. Seems like a watch that could have worked with a bit of refinement.

No wonder is a diver's watch,look at that humangos size! I bet professional divers can use it as a weight bar and strap it to their leg ankel.Also, the bars are a funny enough adition to name this watch BOLSHEVIK LINE or STALIN. I would sugest a hammer and sickel for the real nostalgics!
