I’m a lefty, and when I was young, I wore my watch on the left wrist, until I started playing tennis....
... but the twist-a-flex (Oops, just gave away my age!) would painfully pull the hairs out of my hairy wrist 😲, so I swapped to wearing my watch on the right…👍...
Did you ever mistake your watch wrist for your sweatband wrist, and drag a chunk of metal across your face? I can tell you, that hurts! (Thank goodness back in the day it was a little Timex not a massive Speedy...) 😵💫

Let's remember those who were forced to use their right hand as left-handed people or was that just a German phenomenon?
I was born in the early 1970s and a friend of mine was re-educated![]()
we had this in Ireland too, they tried with me until my mother found out and went to the nun who was teaching me and gave her abuse for it.
I can still write very well with both hands as a result.
I am a total leftie like a lot of posters here, my right hand is for waving only. I tried to wear my watch on the right wrist and found it made my wrist and hand numb.
