My uncle always said you have to put your watch onto the rest/stand that comes with it as those are designed to hold the watch at the optimal position.

I never understood what he meant since I've always worn a Casio F-91 for as long as I can remember.

That's a little interesting, if only because a lot of watches don't come with stands/cases - I remember when I was a kid I got a couple of watches that had little plastic holders, that they were packaged with.

These days I've got watches ranging from the low-end Casio Terrorist Watch to mid-range Rolexes, and a lot in between, and they typically come in boxes or cases without a stand of any kind.
