What is the "correct" wrist to wear a watch on?
Discussion
I am right handed so wear a watch on my left. The only exception is scuba diving, when a compass goes on my left wrist, so the watch goes on the right.
When I try wearing a watch on my right wrist, I find it gets in the way when writing or using a mouse.

Watch worn on right hand, I'm right-handed.
I've been wrong before......
Dominic - the pic of your gorgeous IWC Doppel in the 'Have you got a lifer?' thread shows it on a left wrist!!! I've been wrong before......

Ah, that's because it's impossible to photograph the watch on the right wrist with a camera configured for right hand use. If I had a 3rd arm or a left handed Sony Cybershot you'd see a representative image of a 'Hackett' watch.

granted, its left hand, but I think its close enough...
Parents bought me a watch when I was about 7 (40 years ago) bl**dy thing never worked on my left wrist, would only work if worn on the right, as a result have always worn watches on my right wrist,
Food for thought, found this on net, could this be why the first watch would not work !!!! spooky
If you’re right-handed, you probably wear a watch on your left wrist. You might consider switching, however, when you consider the impact that your watch’s battery can have on the health of your heart meridian and, ultimately, on your heart.
What is the Heart Meridian?
The heart is one of the 14 major organs and systems in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Each of these organs has a corresponding meridian, a line of energy flow through the body that becomes strong or weak in tandem with that body part. In healing a weakened organ, the energy of the related meridian is used both to diagnose the health of the body and as a means to begin to strengthen it.
The meridian system has been used and translated into dozens of different energy healing techniques (including energy psychology, Energy Medicine, Touch for Health, Brain Gym, and accupuncture) because the approach is so effective.
How Does a Watch Battery Affect the Meridian?
The meridians are subtle energy structures and can be very sensitive to the objects and materials that surround our bodies. Magnets and other metals, in particular, are known to affect the energy of the meridians.
Wearing any piece of jewelry for long can bring on fatigue or have the opposite effect and make the wearer over-energized. Some people are so sensitive that they have to remove earrings or other jewelry after only a few minutes, because the metal charges with their energy and begins to affect the way they feel. Glasses with metal frames can have tiny holes drilled at the end of the “arms” to discharge energy, but that can’t be done to most decorative jewelry or to watches.

It's hardly a stupid rule, it's for infection control!While as a whole it has been working I disagree with this particular rule.

Watch is worn left/out.
In fact, as an experiment as a result of this thread, I'm wearing my watch right now on my right wrist, and the levels of wrongitude I'm experiencing are just staggering.
Agreed. I can barely lift my right arm due to the additional weight! Watch is worn left/out.
