How do people do this?
Double wristing because I wanted a timer and instead of going through the whole thing of putting on a different watch, right tool for the right job huh, I decided to get weird.

Hmm… with a swipe of finger you can have both…
😜…but double wristing is way cooler and weirder!!
When I'm breaking in a new watch it stays on for a couple of weeks. But I'll rotate the rest of my collection on the other hand during this time. I don't think anyone has ever noticed the weirdness.
I’ve tried it, but I stopped because 1) I couldn’t get used to the feeling of a watch on my right wrist, 2) it felt a little silly, and 3) I had to take off my mala beads or else have stuff running halfway up my forearms. 😂
Feels way too weird on my right.

It didn't even occur to me that my phone also has a countdown timer and a stopwatch
I do it a lot! Did it today, since I have an Apple Watch I use it to measure my health data, it has fall detection and can even call my emergency contact if something happens to me, and is my phone on my wrist… the other, just my watch that does not run out of power (battery) and last forever

100% someone or many someones noticed, most people are just polite enough to not say anything.
Whether or not you care about people noticing is an entirely different thing, but if you're doing anything even a bit outside the "normal" on a regular basis, people notice.
If someone put a gun to my head and made me do this, I think an F-91W on the dominant wrist is the way to go. They are so slim, small, and light that they would be most inobtrusive. Actually, I think I did this one day when I thought I'd need two chronographs running at once, which of course turned out to be a ridiculous idea, but it was physically acceptable.
Calm down there, Schwarzkopf.
Calm down there, Schwarzkopf.
I’m more partial to rockin’ the Castro.
I go watch on my right wrist and smartwatch on my left forearm every day. I don't consider a smartwatch a watch and above the scaphoid is forearm not wrist so it's not double wristing.
Tried the smartwatch on my off-hand and got used to it.
Haven't done two basic watches yet.
Only one person has commented in the 9 months I've done it.
This is why G-shocks are the best. All on one display 😎
Hunter Thompson always wore a Rolex. More often than not, He would wear two GMT's at a time on one wrist.
Calm down there, Schwarzkopf.
Feel the power of the Schwarz!
Why stop at 2?
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha stop making me laugh so much! ❤️
I double wrist to keep my automatics wound up as I don't have box winders.
Feel the power of the Schwarz!
Get a Chrono!
Always have my Garmin Fenix on my right wrist and my watch-watch on my left. Until I go running (which I do every day), when the watch-watch comes off and the Garmin goes on the left wrist. Yes, my wife says I'm weird.
My wrists are different enough in size that none of my bracelet watches comfortably fit without adjusting....plus it just feels weird.
Years ago my father was an executive at GE and the chairman made all of the executives wear their watches on opposite wrists as a punishment for something, I can't remember what exactly. But this is what it feels like when I try to wear my watch on the opposite wrist: A Punishment.
You should go full Flava Flav mode and rock a clock around your neck for the trifecta!!
absolutely love that Seiko sector

I got a jacket that looks like that, all I need now is a couple of rolexes
Why not take the Buzz Aldrin/Ripley approach and use two watches on the same strap? Ideally on a nato strap for added comfort and flexibility?
I was thinking of doing this exact same thing

As undetectable as the F91 is on my left wrist it still feels like there's something on my wrist wearing it on my right wrist.

And you can run the countdown timer at the same time!
The ol' Schwarzkopf? I can't pull it off. I can't stand anything on my right wrist.
I do it every day. I NEED my Apple watch, but I refuse to let my watch collection get dusty. I stopped collecting for several years when I went Apple watch, but I missed my shinies. So its Apple watch right wrist, and classic watch left wrist. You get used to it fairly quickly.

My life consists entirely of doing things outside the normal. If all they notice is two watches I'm having a great day.

Just giggled a bit louder than is likely socially acceptable looking at this pic.
