Right or Left?
There’s been a few discussions on which is the correct side to wear your watch. Correct probably the wrong word. Let’s say preferred side.
The first time I got a watch I used to switch sides without even thinking about it as I’m quite ambidextrous. It never bothered me what wrist I was “supposed” to wear it on.
Then as time passed I naturally became a right hander, again no conscious decision but I just found myself wearing it there.
This week I’ve been wearing my watch on the left intentionally to try to understand if there is actually something off which meant I stopped wearing it on this hand.
All week it’s felt fine and then driving home today I saw it.
the life sentence on my third finger!
I noticed how loaded my left wrist/hand looked with a ring and watch vs my naked right side. And I realised wearing the watch on the right gave me some balance.
So there we are. Mystery solved.
I believe the rule is to wear the watch on your non-dominant hand so that the watch interferes less with everyday activities like writing.
There are no rules to be upheld by watch police, so carry on.
Right. As my writing hand is left
Some people wear a bracelet or two or seven on the same wrist as their watch😮
I wear mine on my left wrist because I'm right handed. Not only does wearing it on the left prevent it from getting in the way when writing, it also is the hand that is most likely to be free when I'm doing something and want to check the time.

I also think it’s so I don’t bash My watch.
Both...at the same time. I wear my timepieces on my left and my smart watch on my right
Like it was yesterday, I remember my father told me when I was very young that i should wear my watch on the left wrist since I was right handed. This was more than 40 years ago.
I wear watches with the crown away from my hand as it protects the crown a little more, means my hand is less likely to hit the crown and it makes it virtually impossible to wind or set the watch without taking it off (which is a nice little safety feature).
I am right handed and wear my watch on my right wrist. Sure the watches get more knocks, but then again, watches are to be enjoyed not just for 'Sunday best' :)
Right feels right, left feels er.... wrong.
