Icon3 Left Wrist ~ Right Wrist ~ or Both...?

I have been noticing more and more that my 116505 Rosegold Daytona fits better on my left wrist and I'm right handed however when I owned the PM Sub, I wore it on either...

do most people just wear their watches on one wrist or is it watch dependent?

Left only for me - I’m right handed. I find to even try on the right wrist seems odd.

I'm right handed and wear my Rolex on my left. The only time I've worn it on my right was after my left hand had suffered major trauma in a motorcycle accident. As soon as I could, it was back on the left.

Im right handed and can only stand to have my sub on my left wrist. Your dominant hand will no doubt be doing more resulting in more accidental bangs to the wrist/watch.

I am left handed, always wore a watch on my right wrist. One day the wife says to me, try it on your left. She told me she thought it looked better, she had a better view of the case lugs, crown guards etc....so I wore it on the left. Now I wear them on the left.

I'm a left handed and used to wear on my right; however, I developed a pinched nerve in my right shoulder. So, my watch's weight made it uncomfortable to wear on my right wrist and I switched.

I am left handed and since my very first watch at 7yrs old , I've wearing my watch on my left. Feels weird wearing in my right. In my experience wearing the watch on the dominant hand, I find that I'm more in control of how I swing my hand and therefore not hitting things by accident. Therefore not damaging my watches

Left-handed, I wear my watch on the right wrist.

Seriously considered at some point adding a 38mm Apple watch on left wrist but did not do it

right handed, Watch on Left always, although I visited the cardiologist for a stress test last year and had to wear some monitors on my left wrist, so I switched my watch to right hand. Noticed the watch felt super snug, and I also really enjoyed the new view of the watch. I was looking at my watch through most of the test. The doctor probably thought I should be at a psychiatrist instead lol.

Wearing a watch willy-nilly on either wrist would drive me bat-shit. My brain is fatigued enough with the real decisions I have to make.

Right-handed and wear my watch on the left wrist.

I'm in a Very Small Group about 3.7%

Ok I'm torn between buying the PM Sub or the DD40.

When I owned the PM Sub I used to like wearing it loose on the opposite side I slept on. So, If I was on my right side sleeping, I would move watch to Left Wrist, and when I turned over, and if I was awake enough, I would change wrists. This made me feel like I was really dialing in exactly what I liked while sleeping with the Sub...

If I get the dd40, and since it doesn't have any adjustment, I would be wearing it on my left wrist exclusively! That means no wrist-sharing...
Would I feel like I would miss the wrist banter...

I have the 16622 Yachtmaster, very comfortable and cool to look at, but it has been a Left-Wrist watch, and I do miss the Switching...

This is really an interesting poll

Left because my gmt doesn’t fit as well on the right even if I use the easy link (probably because I used to play tennis on right).
