Right Handed, Right Wrist Club
I'm right handed and wear my Sub on my right wrist. Anyone else do this? I find it more comfortable as the crown does not dig into the backside of my hand.

South paw here but I too wear my watches on the right hand for the same reason. The stem/crown does not feel good against my hand. It does not hurt it just bugs me.

Do you wear your watches fairly loose then?

Lefty here, but wear my watch on my left hand. Do you find that wearing your watch on your dominate hand causes you to beat up you watch more? I think I ding mine more.

I'm constantly switching wrists. The clasp and bracelet of my Daytona gets pretty beat up when I'm writing.

i'm a right handed dude. And wear my watch on the left. Maybe partly because of habit. But on the practicality side, i guess there's a bigger tendency to bang the watch if it's on your dominant hand -- even for simple things like writing, etc. :2c:

I'm right handed and have always worn watches on my left wrist. I wear mine a bit loose and still have never had an issue with the crown digging into my hand. I must have an enlarged wristbone or something because the watch never slides down that far.

The watch goes on the right wrist, so the crown won't dig into the flesh.

Right handed and wear it on the right. It just fits better that way. It doesn't get any 'more' wear than on the left.

I would scratch the watch up too much wearing it on my right wrist, from writing, but sometimes I wear two watches, so yes, I've been known to do it.

I am left handed, an I wear my watch on my right hand. That is the way I was taught when I started wearing a watch, sort of a protocall back then.
I never thought about the crown digging into the wrist. Good point. |

I know that Kyle likes to wear his watches on his right wrist, he says it are more comfortable with certain watches. I don't, because it's uncomfortable.
