·One good reason to wear on right is if you are doing something more likely to break it on the left.
Or--to wear two watches!

Correct arm to wear your watch on.

·I was always of the understanding, since its is most common for people to be right handed (I am actually left handed), wearing the watch on the left hand leaves your right hand to adjust, start/stop, wind etc etc and also it doesn't get in the way when you are handwriting and doing "right handed things".
The controls on most watches are traditionally on the right hand side so wearing it on the left hand gives easy access to winders etc etc....
In my case, I am left handed, but since many things in this world are made for right handed people, I have learned to embrace these things. This includes wearing my watch on my left hand, it just feels right, it feels wrong on my right wrist.

·Wrist opposite the dominate hand. I’m left handed, so my Speedy goes on my right wrist.

·i have this discussion with my wife all the time, She has made it a habt to wear her watches on the right wrist as she finds she bumps her watches a lot when she wears them on the left wrist. I wear mine on the left, so there have been numerous occasions where we bump our watches together holding hands or transferring our little girl while she sleeps. my vintage watches cant stand up to her modern watches so I end up breaking out the polywatch at night! haha. I may have to switch over to the right as well in order to avoid this happening!

Can't see a one armed man buckling a watch strap. Perhaps a pull tag on a expansion band would allow one to slip the watch on using their teeth to pull it on and off.
Otherwise pocket watch it is.
The new high tech watches that check the timing by radio signals , resetting themselves if necessary, and are solar powered would be the best option for a one armed or one handed individual.

·Fascinating! Did you also experience any sort of phantom watch syndrome or the sensation of smelling burnt toast? We could be on the cusp of a discovery here... perhaps some inverse corollary of the rubber hand illusion!

·I mean, jokes aside. Wear your watch wherever the F”&$ you feel like it. Your pocket, a necklace, your non dominant wrist, your left, your right... both, none.

·I always find it odd if someone who isn’t a lefty wears his watch on the right arm, but I think there is no „right or wrong“ here. Wear it where ever it suits you.
Except if a person wears his watch face down, then they loose all credibility with me.
Unless it’s the omega chronostop??

·Obviously you should wear it on whatever wrist is comfortable for you.
However, you should know that if you do choose to wear it on the right wrist you are forever marked as one of the "devils brood".

·Manufacturers actually produce watches for those whose preference is to wear their watch on the right arm. As examples, some Heuer Autavias, and the Tudor Pelagos. I’m sure others can add to this list. There must be enough demand for right hand worn watches for manufacturers to produce such watches. Let’s hope the photos could be considered approved for “fair use”. 😉
Watches with crown at 9’clock are usually divers watches. The reason for the change of location is to decrease the risk of snagging or damaging it while in use, not to wear it on the right wrist.
