Yes - but for a practical reason - I'm right handed & have RSI in right wrist so use a gel support for umm, support, and the metal bracelet would dig in. Took a while to adjust to having a watch on the left - you wouldn't think the extra momentum & height would be an issue, but it was & I clonked it a few times.

Right/ Right for me, only downside is the polished part of the clasp gets scratched up a bit when I use a mouse at work frown

Thought he was two on the same wrist? Sure I saw a picture like that once.

Watch on Left
Pen in Right

Unlike some of you weirdos.

Pen and other functions on the left.
Watch on the right.

Automatic so winding is not an issue.
Comfortable and practical for multi tasking

I understand the winding mechanism point, but suspect that the right handed, left wrist for watch bias really goes back to the times when one was supposed to write with the right hand and left handedness was to be beaten out.... but enough of my schooldays!

Right handed, watch on the left. Isn't that how it's supposed to be?

Very heavy watch so adds to wrist movement.

So am I the only weird one who swaps about from day to day?
Left handed and mostly wear on left, but often swap over and then wear on right wrist sometimes for days on end.
