Are any of you guys lefties who wear their watch on their left hand?

I’m curious to know if there are any other lefties out there who prefer their watch on their left hand and what is your day to day wearing experience?

Have you ever thought to wear your watch on your right hand instead? And for my lefties who already wear their watch on their right, have you always gravitated to that hand or only switched after hearing watches should be on your offhand?

Righties, feel free to vote below too and let me know if you wear your watch on your dominate hand.

can I say I cheated on that? I wear my normal watch on the left (which is a stealth g shock gbd200), and my mi band on the right.

but my wife is a lefty and she wears her watch on the left.

·

Right hand feels weird, I wear on left.. writing can be, challenging... sometimes

·

I don’t want to scratch any bracelets by wearing it in my left (dominant) hand… that and I’ve worn them on my right hand since I was a kid so now it’s just weird on my left

·

Lefty, watch on left hand. All writing/tools/fine motor skills & guitar are lefty and I play all sports and throw righty.

I can comfortably wear a watch on both but my right wrist is like 0.5" larger so I don't bother.

For me, it simply makes sense to wear on the less dominant hand, which is my left wrist. This allows me to accomplish tasks with my right/dominant hand while also being able to observe the time.

·

Lefty, but i wear my watch on whichever wrist is less sweaty at the moment. I really have no preference.

·

I’m right handed but I switch wrists depending on what I’m doing and how bad my watch tan is.

Thanks for the input guys! I was curious myself as I’m a lefty wearing my watch on my left wrist. I think I got into the habit of wearing it on my left from my dad who said you always wear your watch on your left wrist (old school way of thinking). I know people say to wear a watch on your non-dominant hand to avoid bumps and scratches, but interestingly I’ve found I bump my hand when I wear my watch on my non-dominant hand. Maybe it’s just familiarity, I’m usually extra careful with my left hand and conscious of not bumping it into stuff. Sadly I can’t swap between left and right wrists when wearing a bracelet, my right wrist is thicker than my left.

I am a natural leftie, have always worn my watch on my left wrist but like many lefties am mostly ambidextrous. My parents thinking events would be easier if I could do some things right handed decided to mess up my thinking processes early in life.

·

Lefty here, always wear watch on left wrist because I don’t want the bracelet rubbing on the desk when I use my mouse. Only exception is Apple Watch on my right wrist for exercise and golf.

·

What about ambidextrous, left hand??

·

Writing and utensils: left

Throwing and guitar: right

I did have a right wrist phase but like someone else mentioned I also don’t want the strap rubbing on the desk when using the mouse at work.

Im a left handed guy wearing watch on the left side because I broke my right hand in 2016 and after they put it in cast I didn't return to my orthopedic that's why there's a slight curvature on my right wrist

·

I’m a lefty who wears watches on my left arm. As a kid growing up in the 90s, schools (UK) didn’t have any lefty equipment, so other than writing I use my right hand for most tasks.

I also broke my right arm in 2001 and for some reason my forearm/wrist is ever so slightly larger, so I can’t swap watches over particularly easy

·

I wear my watch on left hand and my fitness tracker on right hand. Righty though. Just feel wrong to have my watch anywhere else, ankle included.

I'm in the exact same boat

Lefty who wears watch on left wrist. Always have; it just feels natural 😀

·

I go back and forth, I'm bi wristed

Primarily right handed but can write with left. 99% of time wear left wrist, sometimes right, sometimes both.
