The Apple Watch was designed to be worn on the wrist, but some users have chosen to wear the smart watch on their ankle.
This practice, which went viral on TikTok a few years ago, assumes that the small size of wrists prevents proper reading of the sensors on smartwatches, such as those from Apple.
Healthcare professionals support the idea because their activities prevent them from wearing accessories on their wrists. Additionally, those with tattoos on their arms and who cannot wear the watch on their wrist also choose to wear it on their ankles.
Apple, which has not commented on this new trend, had previously stated that the watches were calibrated to be worn exclusively on the wrists.
