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).

Most people wear theirs on the least dominate hand, unless it is a left handed watch then I would say it would be worn on the right wrist as to be able to use the crown. I don't think I have seen a left handed Rolex before?

I'm left-handed so I wear my watches on my right wrist. 25+ years ago, I wore my watch solely on my left until I purchased my first "nice watch" and quickly realized after beating the tar out of it from writing, etc that I'd be soon be a social pariah and need to wear it on my right.

Same here ,

after almost 200 votes we can see that left vs. right wrist is roughly 15% vs 85% which clearly correlates to left handed vs right handed percentages in general population

Glad nobody has chimed in to say they wear two watches at once, one on each wrist.

For me, left wrist only. I have tried wearing on the right and it felt very awkward.

It’s a better fit on the left hand to me. Well that’s my thought

Right handed, wear on left always. I have had a "watch tan" for 41 years on my left wrist. A buddy of mine switches wrists often to avoid the tan.

Always on my left, the only reason I can remember what hand is left is because that hand has a watch on it.

I'm left handed and like most leftys used to wear a watch on the right wrist. I switched to watch on left wrist about a year ago and never looked back. It just looks 'correct' that way with the crown pointed towards your fingers. And they make better wrist shots.

The switch felt strange initially and it got into the way of basic actions but after a month it starts to feel natural and I'll not accept a watch on my right wrist anymore.

Sly Stallone whom I believe is left handed used to wear on the right in his younger days (see classic pic of him with gold Sub on right wrist) now only wears them on the left.

I'm Right handed and wear Rolex on Left wrist for me. I am not sure how people where a watch on their right. I think Robert Downey Jr. wears a watch on his right.

I write left handed, most other actions with the right. Have to wear it on the right wrist as it is simply impossible for me to get used to writing with watch on left wrist.
