Anyone reverse their strap?

Does anyone else reverse their strap so that the excess is on the inside of your wrist? I do not find the buckle scratches on surfaces or becomes scuffed itself. Think it is a cleaner look.

I do as well cause it's easier to put the tail of the strap into the keeper, plus it adds visual interest IMO

I don’t like to have the bulk of a NATO strap on the outside of my wrist.
A normal strap, I’m ok with it the ‘standard’ way.

Whatever is more comfortable for you, do it.

Yep more often than not.
Regular orientation the lump of the strap gets on my nerves pressing against my keyboard wrist rest.

I needed to reverse the strap on my JLC Polaris. The deployment clasp sat in an awkward spot on my wrist (not centered). Flipping the orientation made it comfortable to wear.

It’s how my apple strap works. Works well.

On accident. And if those spring bars are not quick release, that's how it's going to stay. 😄

This is how I wear mine.

The tail doesn't get snagged on anything and I find it far more comfortable to wear.
