I used to wear my watches on the right hand but some watches are completely more exposed to scratches since sometimes the winder can take a hit before scratching the case lolol meaning i used to run into the right walls and get caught on doors or walls so i switched it back to the left side LOL

This Sinn mission timer was developed to be worn on the left wrist, in order to protect the crown and pushers, but you could wear it on the right.

I'm a righty and wear my watch on my right wrist. Problem is wearing a watch and using a mouse just scuffs the bracelet clasp and leaves metallic mark on your desk. YMMV.

Whatever wrist takes your fancy although I have started to notice quite an increase in the numbers of so called television personalities wearing watches on the right wrist, perhaps just to be different 🤔 ?

Can’t recall anyone ever noticing, other than fellow watch nuts commenting on a photo.

My question to you right handed people wearing your watch on the left: do you really wind your watch while it’s on your wrist? It seems impractical.

Never have, never will. In the hand instead of on the wrist also gives a chance to adjust accuracy if needed.

I am a lefty, I wear mine on my right hand, as does my young lefty son. Given that lefthandedness expresses perfect alignment with the cosmos, anyone who notices your watch as worn properly on the right wrist is, no doubt, only gawping with envy. Just smile upon them, and move on.
Also a lefty with a lefty son. I’m not sure which hand he wears it on but that issue fades into insignificance when I tell you that about ten years ago he decided to wear his watch upside down in order to make sure he remembered the time when he looked at his watch because he needed to go through the conscious process of working out the time instead of continually looking at his wrist and not processing the visual information.

Next time I speak to him I will hopefully remember to ask him if that still works for him.

Left handed, and I've always worn my watch on my left wrist. My older son is also a lefty and does the same thing. Yes, it gets knocked about a bit more, but if I'm panicking about that, I shouldn't be wearing a watch.

I am a lefty too and wear the watch on left arm. Or more mixed. I am writing, painting with left and throw small balls with left. The funny thing is when I am playing handball I throw with right. Tennis I although do it with the right arm

Leftie here that wears it on the left. Or right. Mostly left so an observant person might assume I'm not dominant left. Ultimately, it depends what I'm doing. Long writing spells or using my left-hand mouse and I tend to shift it to my right wrist. I'm sort of mixed up, though. Throw left, golf and swing a baseball bat right but can also swing left, left-eye dominant and shoot left but score very competitively right handed, off-handed also. I'm really just a mess.

Wearing on the right wrist, like a true champ. Here is the Marathon GSAR in front of a moose

Oh my it would seem so odd wearing on the right but I have no idea why! I’ve just always work mine on the left and I guess it’s just what you are used to?
I didn’t wear a watch for a while and it seemed strange at first, then you get used to it and it felt weird when I started wearing one again ‍♂️

Arm in sling. Watch on right hand. No big deal.

Had a meeting with Dirk De Wachter ( famous psychiatrist ) and noticed his watch, then I noticed he was writing left-handed (he was wearing his watch on his left wrist). I wanted to ' educate' him. I wonder about my attitude...

I was born left handed and growing up used to wear them that way, I stopped when it was hard to find left handed watches, the thing is, for example on some watches the crown usually acts as a stopper between your watch and the wall, therefore the other side is completely exposed
