Is this cheating on my left wrist??

So I have always worn my watch on my left wrist since i was a kid, and since being married always had my watch and my wring thats it. But lately the crown digs into my hand and I thought well lets give the right hand a try, why not? Well its been there all week and I have to say its been very very comfortable! Besides turning my left wrist to look at the time out of habit, the comfort is really outstanding with no crown digging into my hand. So my question is, are there other TRF's out there that have switched wrists??

I opened a thread a while back on what I could only describe as the "Mark of the WIS" - that little indention that the crown makes in your left hand. I tried the switch from my left wrist to my right once, but it just didn't work out.

Side note, I did notice that "Mr. Wonderful" from the TV show Shark Tank wears a PAM 219 (with the crown on the left side) - I wonder if he wears that model because of the crown/Mark of the WIS problems?

I like that "the mark of the WIS", it does still feel weird but very comfortable at the same time, it might stick?😎

If have to get a pam 219 or something of that sort to still keep it on my left wrist. Im right handed and i would bang my watches up way too quickly if i started wearing them on my right wrist lol

I usually wear it on my left wrist but sometimes on my right when I feel like it.

IMHO, if there's an indentation in your hand from the crown then you're wearing your watch too low on the wrist
