Left or Right wrist?
What wrist do you wear your watch and are you a lefty or righty and why? I'm right handed but mostly prefer to wear my watches on my right wrist as well.

I'm left handed and I wear my watches on my right wrist. Always have. I've been told there is no right or wrong wrist to use.

Left handed and left wrist too. My recommendation is wear it on the wrist that feels comfortable and where you would naturally look to check on the time. For me, since I am left handed I naturally look at my left wrist and it just feels like it belongs there.

If the crown is at 9 o'clock, I wear the watch on my right hand. For all others, on my left.

Wouldn't want to catch any arm hair while tightening down the crown... Right handed, watch on the left.

i'm right handed and always wear my watches on my right wrist as well...since I'm using my right hand mostly, by wearing my watches on the same wrist, I have more chance to see them (who doesn't enjoy a good look on his submariner)

I am right handed and wear my watches on the left hand.
I tried once for fun to switch and it feels horrible. |

I write and eat with my left hand, but basically everything else with the right which is stronger (throw, hit, sports, etc..).
I wear my watch on my left wrist - I couldn't imagine it being any other way. |

This is kind of funny but reading this, I just remembered that my dad TOLD me to wear watches on my left wrist when I was a young kid... so that's just what I've always done. Righty over here...

I'm righty and wear on left, so it doesn't drag when I write or get knocked around, as i do more with my dominant hand/arm

Opposite for me, but I believe this to be correct. Obviously you should wear what is most comfortable, but I do believe this is the correct way. |
