Find myself wearing my watch on my right wrist all the time.
Before I start this is not just a which wrist do you wear or prefer to wear your watch.
I wear my watch on my left wrist but after a few hours my wrist swells and I have to shift to my right wrist. I have 7.5 inch wrist ( give or take ) but find my right wrist is better for wearing my watches, so now that's what I do.
Anyone else have the same problem ?

Swelling yes, switching no.
Sounds like you might have to upgrade to a MK3 Black Bay Heritage with a T-Fit function 😜

I am fortunate not to have this issue- in 60 years of wearing a watch there are probably less than a score of days where I’ve worn on the right.
Other than muscle memory, it never posed any hardship; if I were you I’d continue the practice.
You might consider straps, as well.
Best of luck!
I use both wrist. Start with the right wrist, change to the left or start with the left qnd change to the right.
Which might explains why my wrist tan lines isn't as pronounced as it should be.
Maybe you're wearing your watch a bit to tight? I stick with the left because it's much easier to manipulate the crown with my right.
I suppose it's about what's comfortable for you. Just know that if you're right handed and wear it on the right your exposing the watch to potentially more damage more often. Other than that, go for it.

On my left wrist I have 2 holes on my band left and it feels tight and on my right wrist I have 3 holes left on my band and it feels better.
I may be wrong, but I think your bracelet is too tight on your right wrist. Can it not be adjusted?
For what it’s worth, I’m left handed and wear my watches on my right wrist. One advantage: the crown is facing up my arm , away from splashing water when I wash my hands.
Never even needed to use microadjust in 30+ years, guess I'm just not the swelling type.
I’m left handed and wear my watch on my right wrist. I never switch. Wearing on my left wrist feels hella strange.
I cant wear the watch on my dominant hand, too unconfortable for me.
