How come every guy wears their watch on the left wrist even if there righty, does it mean your gay if its on your right wrist?

I find it amusing that you thought sexuality made a difference on what side your watch was worn - LOL! I think you'll find that right handed people wear their watch on the left & then left handed people wear their watches on the right! I think even the gay right handed men out there wear their watches on the left! I thought maybe it had something to do with it being easier to check the time without having to stop what you were doing - which is why the watch goes on the hand you use less! Hope that's of some help!

Gay has nothing to do with it thats school teasing there. You seem to only ever see right handed guys then. People wear the watch on the opposing hand they use to write or perform simple tasks. Its out of the way and less hasseling to do things with your dominiate hand than it would be with a watch clinging to it.

Ive never noticed what side people wear their watches on. Im going to look out tomorrow just out of interest. Im a female and right handed and like my watch on my left arm. I dont know why though. I dont ever recall conciously deciding where to wear it.

I'm a woman, I'm straight, and I'm right handed. When I used to wear a watch it was always on my left wrist because that was more convenient. If you're doing things with your right hand, you can still look at the time without stopping what you're doing. Very simple and logical. Left handers usually wear their watch on their right wrist, right handers the opposite.
