Fellow Lefties...

Is it just me or do other right wrist wearers inadvertently smack their watch more on things because this is a right handed world?

I'm a lefty wearing my watch on my left. They go smack quite a bit, unfortunately.

Yup, also a lefty who has never had the urge to wear a watch on my right wrist (I'd find it odd actually). And 'cause I tend to swing a hammer (or similar one-handed "swinging" tools) with my left hand, I have to remember to take off my watch when doing that types of work, lest potentially damage the thing! A couple of my beater quartz pieces have suffered a fair bit of abuse this way and strangely have held up very well!

I wonder what does Kevin O'Leary have to say about this.. he wears a couple of watches on each wrist and rotates them 3 time a day.

I'm right handed and wear it on my right hand ,yes I bang it all the time on things , but the crown is protected

That one I don't understand...I suppose I'm conditioned at this point but putting it on my left wrist feels odd

I learned to accept a long time ago that my watches are going to get scratched to Hell. And they do.

Maybe? If a hallway/sidewalk is being used like American traffic patterns, a LHD watch worn on the right would be nearer to the periphery where posts, buildings, opening doors, etc. would be.

I'm a righty and don't notice it, but I guess I could see it being an issue.

Accept...what is this word? 😂 I don't even want to scratch my $100 Square...

Once you accept everything, you're free to do anything.
