Left handed; which wrist?

[watchmaniac]

I'm left handed and have always worn my watches on my left wrist. I'm trying to train myself to wear on my right wrist, but it's difficult. I want to make the switch to avoid future wear and tear on my watches. Since I wrote with my left hand, I tend to create more desk diving marks on my watches than the normal right handed person.

So lefties, which wrist do you wear your watches on?

[FeelingTheBlues]

I wear my watches on my left wrist even though I'm left handed, I might not be the best example since I do not really care for scratches (it's a part of the game if you like to wear watches) but if you ask me you have more chances of hitting your timepiece if you wear it on the other wrist when you're not used to it than if you keep wearing it the way you wore it for the past years.

I write left handed, but do most everything else right handed - I've always worn my watch on my left though.

Have you considered a nice leather desk mat/blotter to protect your left wrist while writing?

Panerai made some models for lefthanded. Try 26K.

Never thought of that. I think I will have to do that.

Right for a lefty

Write lefty. Do everything else righty. Wear watch on right hand. My grandfather put a watch on right wrist when I was 4 or 5 years old. Been wearing it that way since them.

I'm a southpaw and usually hang left. These days it's even less of an issue since most people at their desk now tend to operate a keyboard with both hands rather than write with their dominant hand so the watch is likely to get desk dings either way.

I'll occasionally change it up and carry on the right just for the ducks of it. But generally it just feels more comfortable or natural on my left wrist.

Southpaw here and left wrist.

I would love to wear the watch on my right hand, but I bang it around to much on the desk. Only if I was left handed I could have an excuse. I think lefty it is just more natural on the right. Just like righties on the left.

Southpaw here. Watch on right wrist, though years ago I wore them on my left.

[watchmaniac]

I lasted only half a day with my watch on my right wrist. I felt like my right arm was asleep. I put it back on my left wrist. I'll never switch.

Leftie....on left wrist.

Lefties are the only right people!
