Totally agree to avoid under a watch

@Sijaka would you mind posting a picture of your hand with a flexEM implant?
I’d be curious to see the exact location you chose. Thanks

My choice was between move my watch to other wrist or mount flex in other wrist. I think I’m going to go:
FlexEM right hand
Apex flex in right blade

For cold I fall back on either of my grandpa’s sayings it’s a tit bit nippley if it’s chilly and colder than a witches titty if it’s really cold, never really knew why a witches tit would be cold but it’s fun to watch my wife roll her eyes everytime I say it

Just my thought on this location. The first concern is that the area will not offer a flat enough surface area for the flexEM to lay flat inside of. Curves in tissue that create a radius around the implant area will cause tension in the skin, and that will cause pinching sensations, possibly pain, and potentially (if bad enough) necrosis and rejection.
The second concern is tissue margin. You will need plenty of extra flat space in the tissue around the flexEM for placement. This is because installers will attempt to perfectly place your device, however the oddities of working with tissue in this way mean that getting an implant (particularly a larger flex implant) to lay exactly where you want it and stay there during healing, is very unlikely.

Thanks for the advice. I’ll find another spot then.

@amal would it be bad for me to install a flexEM towards the bottom (not palm side) of my hand? I understand it’s generally recommended to not place on top of bones but just curious since I know there were a few people who went for top of the hand on flexNExT
Are you talking “above” your wrist
I THINK that will come down to your own anatomy.
I just had a look at mine, after bending and flexing, I think the only place it would be physically comfortable for me would be here!

I thought the counter intuitive instruction was flex’s are better on top of bones
flexEM isn’t a standard flex remember - it’s actually rigid
it’s just that it doesn’t matter like x-series is all… not necessarily “better”
That’s quite exactly where I was thinking. Good on ya

Any more thoughts on this location? Has anyone done it yet? Putting some serious thought into one in each hand. Looks like a good spot.
I’m speaking with my doctor about it soon which will mean implanting soon, will do a write up of the install and stuff. Soon™

Judging by that post I’d say we can confirm it is safe at the least.
There is a company that makes decimal time watches.
Svalbard.one
I have a single hand 24hr from them, I love the different stuff they put out and prices are decent.
