Have you ever tried your beloved on the other wrist?

Gee it feels funny at first, but then you start to enjoy it!!!!

Geeeee it's different

Chris B · 7 February 2009, 10:13 PM

I've worn an extra one on "the wrong" wrist when taking to RSC & it always feels far heavier than normal

Hookie · 7 February 2009, 10:19 PM

I just tried it, it feels weird !

Subexplorer · 7 February 2009, 10:59 PM

Just from time to time, and specially in hot summer to get some "ventilation" to my left wrist. Not for too long anyway!

Nica64 · 8 February 2009, 12:13 AM

Yes I have, but not my choice....... a few weeks ago I had a problem with my wrist/elbow and the doctor told me I needed to wear a soft cast for a couple of weeks..... and let me say this, is weird

I guess I was typing too much in TRF!!!

Dan Pierce · 8 February 2009, 12:14 AM

No longer than a few seconds. Felt weird.

padi56 · 8 February 2009, 12:21 AM

Only when diving when using underwater video camera always had watch on right wrist

mike · 8 February 2009, 12:22 AM

I tried it. I couldn't even walk straight.

Like a true WIS:

No, this is not how I use my watches - its only for you ;-) I have always (since age 6) worn my watch on my left wrist. And only one watch

Best,

A

yannis · 8 February 2009, 12:46 AM

It feels awkward on my right wrist!!

DoxaDavid · 8 February 2009, 12:54 AM

Only a few times when I had an injury that prevented me from wearing it normally on my left. Definitly feels funny and I end up looking at my left arm by mistake when checking the time..

Lion · 8 February 2009, 01:18 AM

I have worn my watches on the other wrist(right) at different times but it never seems to be comfortable. I can't get used to the feeling and always change back to left wrist. I also wear my watch so the dial faces downward(learned from my Dad). Anyone else wear their watches with the dial facing downward???

gettocard · 8 February 2009, 01:18 AM

no way...never in my life...even at 10 years old with my Casino...it feels weird...

Alcan · 8 February 2009, 01:20 AM

Like most here, I've tried it but it just didn't feel right.

charliec · 8 February 2009, 01:32 AM

Feels weird !! There are some things you just can't do with the opposite wrist and wearing a watch on it is one of them !!!!

sea-dweller · 8 February 2009, 03:01 AM

No, I like them on my left wrist.

HDHNTER · 8 February 2009, 03:37 AM

It's never occurred to me to even try.

Dalton · 8 February 2009, 03:41 AM

It feels like whenI first put a collar on a dog. Honestly I have started to feel a bit overwhelmed by the feeling and it just has to come off.

frch1104 · 8 February 2009, 04:29 AM

I started wearing my watch on the right wrist when I bought my Omega Seamaster, it is a heavy watch and the bracelet is just perfect on my right wrist. Now I wear all my watches on the right wrist. I´m trying to use my new Sub on both, still favour the right wrist though.
By the way I have some great looking bracelets and strapbands to my Sub, will try to take some pictures soon.

Rolexitis · 8 February 2009, 04:39 AM

I'm going to try it right now.....

rijowysock · 8 February 2009, 05:33 AM

smetimes ill wear 2 at time.. but never just one on wrong wrist

Rebel · 8 February 2009, 05:51 AM

Being a southpaw (left-handed), I wore my watch on the right wrist for years. Finally, several years ago I tried it on my left wrist and it's been there ever since.

I did this because I wrote with my left hand but was most active with picking up or throwing things with my right hand.

There you have it. I've done both.

Gasoil4ever · 8 February 2009, 06:37 AM

For most people i wear it on the wrong wrist...

I am a Leftie !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

greenfan · 8 February 2009, 06:40 AM

I tried once, but didn't like it at all. So, it's always on my left wrist....

twodee · 8 February 2009, 07:47 AM

I have always worn my watches on my left arm since I'm right handed. but I do wear a Destro Panerai Luminor Base on my left arm. It's highly collectable and quite comfy since the Huge Crown protector is on the left side of the watch.
