Watch it
Keanu Reeves enthralled us all with his performance as a brutal and seasoned hitman in the John Wick series. One interesting fact that some fans noticed was how his character wears his watch. In the first installment, Wick used to wear it normally but after the killing of his Beagle puppy, he started to wear it such that the strap was facing outward and the face was inside.
As it turns out, soldiers are taught to do this so that it’s easier to read especially when you’re holding a gun, less likely to get damaged, and reduces the risk of giving away your position. Combine that with his back tattoo that translates to “Fortune Favours the Bold” and you’ve got a possible military background.
