Which wrist do you wear you watch on?

[speed_monkey]

I was chatting with a friend who wears his watch on his right wrist and is right handed, I am also right handed but wear my watch on my left wrist.... I tried the right wrist and it just felt odd!

So.... what wrist do you wear your watch? Any particular reason why?

Right handed and wear my watch on my right wrist. I know I'm not supposed to but I just can't wear it on my left. I also eat with my knife in my left hand??? Maybe in just a bit if a spack

Left handed and left wristed.

Always left. The winders sit in the wrong place if it's on the right wrist and it just feels wrong for me.

My brother is a lefty and eats like a righty

Same here, iron clothes with my left hand as well.

Always left. Anything else is weird.

Absolutely.

Write with my left, throw with my right, watch on right wrist currently.

I used to change wrists every few years but it has settled on the right wrist for the last 4 years now.

I've always worn it on my right wrist and I'm right handed, I've been informed countless times it's weird and wrong but I've found it more comfortable than having crowns bouncing off the top of my hand.

That said - I'm trying the left wrist at the moment to minimise swirls thanks to the PITA that are polished centre links.

Right handed and wear it on my right wrist. Given that in the old days i would have been burned at the stake for this, i switched to my left wrist for a month or two and never got used to it. Although I play snooker and the guitar left handed, throw with my right hand and am right-footed (albeit I'm often wrong-footed). Much as i would like to claim to be ambidextrous, I think I'm just confused.

I know that the crown is in the correct position for wearing on the left wrist, but I gave both setting the time and winding my watch a go whilst wearing on the left and all i managed to do was pull a few hairs out of my wrist. As a result, even if i did wear my watch on my left wrist I'm sure I'd still take it off to wind/set as it's a lot easier.

It feels really, really weird when I wear it on my right wrist. Weird and uncomfortable.

Right handed, watch on left wrist, I also eat 'left handed', so does my brother and my dad. A watch on my right wrist would just be weird, and would also bring the possibly of getting wet if someone asked me the time when I was drinking .

I'm left handed and it's always struck me as odd that the 'right-handed' way of eating involves the implement you need the most dexterity with (the fork or spoon) in the 'wrong hand'.

I hold my fork or spoon in my left, so 'right-handed'.

I wear my watch on my left wrist.

So I said to the man with no arms or legs, "Got the time on yer, cock?"

Agreed.

im right handed, i cant wear a watch on my left wrist as it feels so weird

im getting a little sick thinking about it

Any watch with a 3 o'clock crown is clearly designed to be worn on the right wrist. The crown digs into the back of your hand if you wear it on the wrong (ie left) wrist.
