Left or right wrist?

Do you wear your watch on the left wrist or right?

Personally, I think a watch worn on the right wrist looks wrong, awkward almost, akin to watching a lefthanded guitar player ( and I'm not leftist - I am left handed!!)

Left wrist here also. If I wore it on my right it would get all scratched up.

Always on the left for this right hander.

I recently injured my left hand and tried wearing my sub on my right wrist...I just could not do it....Felt weird and just didn't look right when I looked at it....Actually felt better on my swollen left wrist!!

Left arm, but would prefer the crown on the left-hand side of the watch.

Left wrist most of the time, but you need an option for both, for those times I have a Rollie on each.

I'm left-handed and i always wear the watch on my left wrist - just looks weird otherwise.

PS - i play guitar left-handed (93 Les Paul Standard in Cherry Sunburst is my only lefty ax, but i can't play righty worth a hoot)

Left handed and left wrist.

It's never bothered me when writing.

I was thinking many left handed people would wear their watch on the right wrist but several posts above make me question that theory . . .

Right handed. I'm thinking the crown opposite the hand. There are some Chonoswiss models that offer the option.

And if they're both GMT2c, you could keep time in six (6) timezones!
