TeeJay Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 I'm ambidextrous, and wear my watch on my right wrist for the simple reason that that's the wrist I've always worn a watch on. When I was given my first watch, my Nan told me to hold out my arm, and that was the arm I held out... Only time I've worn my watch on my left wrist was when my skin flared up really badly as I'd been wearing my watch way too tight, and the trapped sweat had had a pretty grim result on my skin. It felt really weird wearing a watch 'on the wrong arm', but I had to do it to let my wrist heal. Needless to say, I've never worn a watch that tight since, and can always insert a finger between the strap/bracelet and my wrist. I could force my watch to go round my wrist if I wanted to, but it wouldn't rotate without doing so manually, and, to be honest, doesn't really slop about my wrist as much as one might think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobbieG Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 It is generally accepted as correct to wear a watch on the left wrist as it is more of a design consideration. Most watches, except specific aviator and dive watches have crowns on the right side of the case. The idea is to be able to realistically make adjustments to the crown without taking the watch off. Some specialty watches have crowns on the left side of the case. This is usually because there is another instrument which is usually worn on the left and the idea is not to compete with that. In the end, nobody cares and we all do what we like, but there is a standardization and it favors the left with most watches. I wear it on the left mostly because I always have...

Sully Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 I'm left handed so I wear my watch on my right wrist. Most left handers have to be somewhat ambidextrous. I throw with my left hand and write with my left hand but I golf right handed. I know that they make a lot of things for left handers, including watches, but most left handers don't have a problem with right handed stuff like watches, scissors, guitars, etc. Now that I'm over 50, it probably doesn't matter which wrist I wear it on unless I'm playing tennis. I don't wear a watch when I play tennis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeGambleur Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 Right handed. Watch on right hand. Why? Because i have always worn it on my right hand. As simple as that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadtorrent Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 Right handed. Watch on right hand. Ditto. I had a bug bite on the left when I used to wear it on the left, and the bracelet kept irritating the bite so I switched to the right...never went back.

Nex_necO Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 It depends. Normally I wear it on the left wrist. But if I want to "show off" or want the watch to be noticed I wear it on the right. Nex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
