> Unless you’re extremely flexible, changes are that your palms won’t be facing away from your body (if you’ve put the watch on correctly).

Keep in mind that some users wear Apple Watch so that the screen face is on the inside of their wrist, rather than the outside. To a naïve interpretation this would appear as "palms facing away".

So many features are broken in this orientation that I doubt anyone would be surprised by this.

iirc, you can set the orientation in the Watch settings. The OS and software should adjust.

The orientation settings let you choose left or right wrist and, separately, left or right facing Digital Crown, which means you can turn the watch "upside down" and wear it that way. But it doesn't have a setting for wearing it on the inside of the wrist.

What if I use the watch at my right wrist and set is as left wrist? Edit for clarity: this is to make screen facing my inside and watchOS knows about this.
