Wrist
In human anatomy, the wrist is the flexible and narrower connection between the forearm and the hand.
Accessorizing the wrist joint
Since the wrist is a convenient narrow part between the forearm and the hand, it is used for fashion and practical accessories such as watches, bracelets, and wristbands, and also for such things as handcuffs.

These are attached by either a closing device such as a buckle or Velcro, or by moving them over the hand, where they do not fall off due to elasticity of the strap. Most items worn around the wrist are designed to be conveniently attached and removed, whereas handcuffs are designed to be very difficult to remove without the appropriate key.
