Gear S3, Can I change the orientation?

[Android Central Question]

As a previous Microsoft band user, I've figured out that my watches last longer if I wear them on the inside of my wrist. Is it not possible to change the gear s3 to work in this orientation?

I moved this to the Gear S3 forum for more specific traffic.

Nope

Different reason...but same request. It seems so simple really. Apple does it already and Samsung is halfway there already when the watch gets docked. Here's to hoping they listen to their users.

Also posted it here in the Samsung forums which is the closest I know to making a formal request that "might" be heard by those that can make a change. Who knows...

Yeah but the MS Band was designed to be worn on the inside of the wrist. When you turn your wrist up, the Band was oriented correctly. With the S3, when you turn your wrist up to look on the inside, the watchface will be off 90*. Wearing in on the top of the wrist gives you the correct orientation, especially since you'll be turning the bezel or swiping the screen.
