Same here! It makes it easier if I am writing and have to put down the time.

This actually gave me a flashback to high school. There was a fellow student just outside the cafeteria. He had his watch on his right wrist and was holding a drink in his right hand. A pretty blond student asked him what time it was.

He obviously was not used to pretty blondes asking him anything (neither was I). It was like a slow motion movie watching the wrist come up and the drink/straw go with the flow of gravity. I always wondered if he moved his watch to his left wrist after that.

Left handed and wear it on left wrist. Probably the reason the bracelet gets so many scratches. Haven't seen Die Hard since becoming a WIS so I'm excited to rewatch it now and look for the Rolexes.

Left handed here - wear watch on right hand. Growing up, I always wore my watches on the left hand. But it made it more difficult to write and it put more wear and tear on straps/bracelets - dragging it across the page as I wrote - so I switched it to the right hand. I wonder if that's the reason why people generally wear watches on the hand they don't write with.

Fairly ambidextrous, but mostly write with my left hand. At some point, I switched my watch to my write hand to compensate. Since I do different tasks with different hands though, it doesn't really help to have it on one hand or the other. Invariably at some point during the day it would be better on the left hand.

Left-handed and wear on my right wrist. Can't stand a watch on my left wrist when I have to write something.

I am somewhat ambidextrous...meaning, I use my left hand for writing, but, in other respects, am right handed.

Anyway, I wear my watch on my right wrist, like most left handed folks.

I have occasionally worn a chronograph on my left wrist, on the underside of the wrist, to more easily keep track of elapsed time when shooting a bullseye course.

Wearing your watch on the other wrist does have a novel feel. I don't do it often, else my right wrist will get jealous...

Right handed, wear on right wrist, no problem. Write miles and miles every day. Guess I'm just weird.
