Yes, I read someone saying they did that and it makes it more convenient to use tap-to-pay terminals.
I do this during workouts all the time and haven’t noticed any issues, even with the heart rate monitor.
If it works on your ankle it's most definitely would work on the bottom of your wrist
Will it work properly? Wearing it always on the underside or only for workouts?
I don’t know, am no medical expert but the sensor array was designed to work on your wrist, so here are some features where I just don’t know:
ECG/Afib detection
Sleep detection
Wrist tempersture
If you were to ask Apple, my guess their answer would be no.

I wear mine inside the wrist all the time and it works just fine. When it is cold outside and I am doing a workout, I found the HR feature actually works better if worn on the inside of the wrist.
