For certain activities, particularly military and police related activities, it makes some sense. A lot of people say it's just to protect your crystal if you hit your wrist on something, but if you think about it a bit there can be a few other advantages.
-The crystal is less likely to reflect light and glare and give away your presence
-If you're doing the military style cigarette hold to hide the cherry on your cigarette from view or from the wind by pointing it into your hand you can see your watch on the same hand without turning your wrist.
>If you're using a rifle you can easily reference the time without removing your off hand from the rifle or taking the rifle off target.
>If you end up wrestling someone on the ground your watch is less likely to hit the ground or press into the ground as you're holding them down or crawling on your elbows.
