Which Hand?

I cannot be the only person who wears their watch on the "wrong" hand....

For some reason, I have always wore my watch on my right hand even though I am right handed.

Anyone else?

Tried it, don't like it, doesn't feel right, can't write and look at the time.

For me that's the right hand to wear my watches. I can't never get use to wear it on the left hand.

Right handed and wear the watch on the left but some days when I have trouble making up my mind I'd like to wear one one each wrist but then I'd be ribbed to no end or worse, a law enforcement type might think I'm selling them illegally.

i wear on left hand, have tried right hand doesnt feel right, also you scratch it more since you seem to always use your dominant hand when doing anything.

I tried wearing my SD on my right hand but the weight of the watch + the beer glass.

I've always worn my watch on the right hand. I could never get used to it on my left hand for some reason. I'm right handed too. Tim

I always wear my watch on the left wrist.

My girlfriend (to the right of me) wears her watch on her right wrist, though:

I cant wear my watch on my right wrist because I have it set so that it has a perfect and comfortable fit for my left wrist only.

I tried wearing it on my right with that same setting and the watch felt too tight and it was too uncomfortable.

So I think Ill just stick to wearing watches on the left wrist full time and a bracelet on the right wrist.

At least you're the best to know which wrist you're wearing your watch on.

Sorry. I was bored and had nothing else left to do!
