I am launching new wearable software company with motto: Get your service on users wrists and I am not sure if it should be users or user's.
By the motto, I want to tell that you can get your service to wrists of all your users. What is the correct way to write this?
Also, company name is WearSoft - is it valid for UK or USA or there is some hidden meaning which make this name inappropriate?
Thank, Jan

It should actually be "users' wrists", since this is a plural possessive: https://www.scribendi.com/advice/how_to_use_plural_possessives_properly.en.html

Hmm, I thought this wasn't right because those wrists doesn't belong to everybody, like in linked example with kittens' toy.. This doesn't make difference?

Or else, according to this post english.stackexchange.com/a/189027/324375 I understand that proper meaning should be wrists of users and than the correct sentence should be users wrists, correct?

You (Jan Capek) have misunderstood the other answer that you cite. It means "wrists belonging to users" hence Rawan Moukalled's answer is right.
