Left or Right?

Which hand do you strap your watches, left or right? And why?

I personally wear it on my left hand because I’ve been using it on my left hand since forever, it’s now become a habit. And less hard action and movement on my left hand, except when I’m playing the drum when gigging. Then I took my watches off, or go to my G Shock. 
 

so what is your preference and why?

¿Porque no los dos? Granted I buy relatively inexpensive watches and always put the less expensive one on my dominant hand as its more likely to get banged up. I enjoy being able to enjoy more than one of my watches at once.

I am fairly ambidextrous, but have always wore them on my left. Why? I write right handed, so it feels more comfortable on the left, perhaps it is a balance issue. Perhaps I’ve been doing it wrong my whole life!  :-)

Wearing a watch on the right wrist pleases the devil, so if that's what you're into go right ahead.  I'll be wearing mine in the proper manner and I'll pray for your soul.

I wish there was a devil horn reaction emote 😈

I'm left handed and have always worn a watch on my left wrist. I was always of the understanding that was the 'proper' way to wear one (even as a child). That they were originally designed for the majority i.e. right handers, to be worn on the left and operated by the right. Now LHD watches exist but switching would feel unnatural, despite the fact that for some cosmic reason they really speak to me.

Right handed so watch on left, makes it operable while being worn and keep's it out of the way while writing.

I'm exactly in the same situation. Lefty wearing on the left wrist and never wanted to swap. It's so natural for me to have it on my main hand. I also love the LHD even if wearing it on the left wrist with the crown at 9 means it's impossible to set on the go. But hey, father told me you have to get you watch off to set it up !

Definitely dress left!!

·

As @thekris said, I wear mine on the left wrist as God intended. 😂

·

Either the non-dominant wrist to avoid damage or the wrist that best keeps out of the way. Ever wear a bracelet watch on your right wrist while using a computer mouse? You get a hard, cold, bumpy, and scratched wrist-rest for free.

Left , because I'm right handed. Feels and looks right to me.

As a child, if you wore the watch on the wrong wrist the nuns would rap us over the knuckles with a ruler and embarrass us in front of the class. They were doing God's work.

So as a guy who loves metal music, maybe I should change wearing it to my right hand, while holding the devils horn

I wear mine on the right. I don’t know why. It wasn’t a conscious decision. Just feels natural to me. 

even tho I’ve seen the majority of people including all my friends wear them on the left.

Aahhhh...those were the days.

frightening…

·

I wear it on the wrist that lets me wind the crown easiest which is usually the left. Ive also started double wristing with a mechanical on the left and a slim fitness tracker on the right.

No, but you should definitely get the Bruce Dickinson watch, though.

·

Left wrist, but I have come to the conclusion that I greatly prefer crowns pointed away from my hand, so I have a new buying criteria.

·

I’m a lefty and never, since the age of six, thought about about wearing my watch anywhere but my right hand. Feels right, is right, on the right. 

·

As no one else has commented, great shot of the Cooper by the way.

I once had someone ask me why I wear it on my right. He said, "have to stop what you're doing to look." But you have to stop to look at your watch. Soooo, it's more comfortable on my right.

Never knew about this watch before untill you mention it! I feel so un-metal not knowing about it 😥 Of course, limited to 666 pieces, with the price of…666GBP.

Huh????

·

I'm a righty and watches go on my right wrist. Mainly because I'm a small-wrister and my right is slightly bigger. Also, because my wedding ring is on the left, and the watch balances the bling.

·

I wear mine on the left but for 18mths after a bad break of my arm I had to wear it on the right, so have had stints doing both.

Left handed so my watch is on my right. 

Me too.

I'm left-handed and I've always worn my watch on my right wrist.  Why?  Good question.  When I got my first watch when I was six or seven (it was a very cool Hot Wheels-branded watch - I wish I still had it), I'm guessing that my mom, who was also left-handed, put it on my right wrist, (as she always wore her watch) and it just kind of stuck.  But it makes so much sense to wear your watch on your non-dominant wrist (less likelihood for damage, if your dominant hand is occupied, you can still check the time, etc.) that I couldn't imagine ever switching.  Also, when you shake hands with someone, it gives them an opportunity to notice the very cool watch you're wearing :-).

I'm a lefty who wears his watch interchangeably (is that the correct spelling?). With bracelets that is, because it's easy to swap.

With straps with a pin and buckle it's mostly on my right hand (side effect from my stroke; not enough dexterity in the fingers to strap it on the left wrist.)
