On my right. Long time ago my GF (which is my wife now) asked my to switch from left to right. Was strnge first, but then I liked it. Now its kinda a family tradtion as our kids "copied" us.

She just said she thinks its cool if we both had it right. She also claimed it would be more comfortable. And it actually is.

Hello doormouse, I also wear my watch on my left arm, when I put it on my right arm it feels odd, like i'm out of balance. I suppose a pocket would work, but then I might smash it, while I'm working. I guess I'll keep it on my left arm.. God Bless

if you put it in your pocket you then have to fumble around in your trousers to find the watch,just to check the time

Thats true,but they do make pocket watches, that have a strap, and you don;t have to fumble around, just pull it out...They also make ring watch, but that wouldn;t work for me, take care

Hello. Yup, I wear my watch on my left hand too. Very convenient for checking the time even when my right hand is busy. When somebody askes me what time it is, I can also just lift up my hand and show the person the watch. The person might be thinking I am showing off my expensive brand watch. Ha ha ! Not at all, just convenient to show the time !

AS the watches are designed to wear on the left hand, I will also wear it in the left hand only.Else adjustment screw can not be easily handled though we are not going to use it regularly. I don't know the reason for that.I don't like the person who used to have their watch in the right hand.Are they like to be different in every thing? NO one knows. But will not move with them in most of the cases.I may be wrong in this and I am not able to find out the reason for that.

Hello doormouse I too wear my watch on the left wrist. It wasn't until here a few years back that I even noticed that left handers wear their watch on the right hand. I know that wasn't smart on my part, but what can I say..Have a great day and a better tomorrow..

Hi doormouse! I wear my wrist watch on my left hand :) When I had my first wrist watch when I was a child I wore it on the right but the grown-ups told me to wear it on the left so right now I'm wearing it on the left :D I'm used of it right now and found it more convenient to wear it that way coz I'm also right-handed, it's kinda annoying writing down with a wrist watch on you hand :D Hehehehe!

I wear my watch on my left hand, as that is something i have done as a child.Perhaps it is a habit.I always wear a watch ot carry one with me, as i am forever late to places.

Maximum people wear the watch in left hand but fanta not wear the watch because mobile is sufficient for seeing the time.
