A group of us as early teens began wearing our watches "ala Banacek". The face of the watch on the inside of the wrist, we thought he looked cool checking out what time it was that way. I still wear my watch that same way today and people ask me about it.

Charleton Heston wore his watch the same way. Check out The Omega Man and Two Minute Warning.

When I was in grade school I wore a watch that way because my grandparents did.
Until one day my friend said that was gay.

I wear mine on my right wrist... being left handed... my dad thought it might be a gay thing too. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
