Poll Left or Right Hand ??

Ladies and Gentlemen, i realy find wearing any particular watch on the right hand uncomfortable. Hey the piece itself is designed for left hand only isnt it ? You would be back to front when adjusting the time etc with the winder when wearing on the right.

Lets see whats what !!

I swing to the left.......

I wear mine on my right. I am just curious to those people that say it would be tough to adjust the watch when it is on your right wrist...How about taking it off to adjust it? That is what I do.

If you are right handed you wear your watch on your left wrist and vice versa.I was told this was because if you were writing you did'nt have to stop to check the time

It's improper to wear your watch on your right hand, even if you're left handed. Wearing a watch on the right hand is akin to wearing your wedding ring on your right hand.

Left handed and wore right handed for all my life until a few years ago.

Now, my trusty Polar Expy is on the left.

Left wrist, I'm ambidextrous but right hand dominant.

Right handed, left handed or like a Politician underhanded
