KeNnY 29 Posted December 23, 2010 yea ! I had to wear watch on the right hand last 2 days and it was horrible feeling ! Like something "strange" :DDD left it is how it should be ! or better would be " you should always wear watch on that hand, what you don't use often on common use, so you will not damage your watch with normal daily use" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greg_r 81 Posted December 23, 2010 I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous. Actually I'm left-handed for everything but writing (the Nuns were persistent! ), but I still wear my watch on my left wrist, so there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PGL 0 Posted December 23, 2010 I am left handed and I have been wearing my watches on my left hand since forever (except for around five years that I wore them on my right wrist). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AustinTech 0 Posted December 23, 2010 Story time. I am slightly dyslexic, so I have always had a hard time telling my right from left. My Dad was tired of me screwing things up when he would tell me how to do stuff. Didn't matter how much I practiced, I could not get left and right correct. One day my Dad got pissed off at me when we were fixing something, and he strapped a cheap watch to my right wrist and said "there, don't take this watch off. It's on your right arm. RIGHT ARM!" I am right handed, so it wasn't the normal way to wear a watch. All my watches would break until I was 18, and then I stopped wearing them cause I got tired of buying new ones. Then when I was 21 I got a kick ass Fossil that cost about $100. THought I was hot shit. Hard to wear it on my left wrist so it wouldn't get banged up. It felt weird for a YEAR. But it stayed safe and in good condition, so now I wear them on my left wrist, like other right-handers. Sometimes I put a watch on my right arm, just for fun, and ahhhhhhhhhh...it feels so good. Good ol' days.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good ol' days.... What a story, cool. I am very weirdly dyslexic myself. I change the order on numbers (not on letters and words). It is really crappy... I am also a little ambidextrous as well, I can play tennis with both hands, or change the arm with which I bat if I play baseball, etc... But when it comes to football (soccer) I am right legged all the way... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
graman 2 Posted December 23, 2010 What about around the head? At least everyone else would know the time, and you could make an edgy fashion statement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chum_2000_uk 0 Posted December 23, 2010 I am right handed but play things like golf, baseball, cricket etc. left handed. I wear my watch on the non-gay wrist though left obviously. It's interesting though isn't it, I can see why some people would wear their watches on the other wrist, as someone already kind of mentioned, the crown can sometimes dig in a bit when wearing it on the left wrist, particularly with some of the bigger watches.

djprone 0 Posted December 23, 2010 I can play football (UK) with both feet but Stephen Hawkins could probably do more with his left hand than i can (apart from turning it over to check the time!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WebWind 1 Posted December 23, 2010 I wear on right wrist. A lot more of people can see my watch when we are shaking hands Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wombosi 0 Posted December 24, 2010 (edited) I wear my watch on the side it is supposed to be: left. The crown doesnt bother me. There is actually a reason why it's in the position it's in. Try putting the watch on your right arm and winding the watch with your left hand good luck! I'm speaking about a watch with its crown on the right ofcourse Edited December 24, 2010 by wombosi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
