Interested in a poll of wearing left or right
I can't do this on my own, certainly not technically. But I am curious about in what regions of the world, watches are worn more on the right than on the left hand - no matter what the reasons.
Geographically!.
This would have nothing to do about our habits or our, from birth to now - the left-and-right handed-ness. Such a poll could of course be expanded to all the jobs and professions there are, from plumbers to lawyers.
But this is sensitive, even dangerous territory. WARNING! So I must stress that I have no commercial or any other interest in such a poll other than within our community, according to what geographical point we are on the planet.
Now I feel that this is NOT a good proposal. There are so many marketing experts and statisticiions who are HUNGRY for this kind of information.
Curiosit!y - yes - but better forget it !!
??
Yes, I think so.

Seems like most right-handed people wear their watches on their left hands in the US
And vice versa for the left-handed. Is there really any difference region-wise or professional-wise? Cheers, Anthony
I don't know about everyone (or everywhere) else...
...but I am right-handed and wear my watch on the left wrist. Daos
Right handed and watches on right too
well majority of people wear it on there left so to be a little different i wear mine on my right hand and i do get asked on occasions why i wear my watch on the right if i am right handed and my reply is " because everyone wears theres on the left " so m...
Right-handed wearing on the right wrist
Also since young and I just can't wear on the left, feels strange.
Right hander wearing on the left
that is clearly the majority in Germany. Best Andreas
Right handed
I'm right handed and wears my watch on the right. My wife is a left hander, wears her watch on the left.......Have been that ways since the day we receive our watches. Mike
Too sly for my own good, I'm afraid
I was thinking of a watch-savvy place like Singapore and a profession where the wearer might want to show (off) the watch while shaking hands or raising that espresso to his or her lips. Being right-handed myself, of course (!?) I wear the watch left. How...
Right Handed and Watch on
either left or right .I have since i started wearing watches.My father was right handed and watch on right strictly. The position of the crown tends to hit my wrist when I wore this one on the left.I think that is why they changed the layout of the newer ...
couple more data points
My wife and I (both right-handers) wear on the left. Our son (age 6, right hander) wears his indestructible Timex digital on his right. My father, left-handed, wears on his right. My father-in-law, right-handed, wears on the left, but on the inside of his...
Right handed, watch on left above the 'bone'...
I say that because I have seen people wear the watch where the wrist bends below the bone that is raised, but i find that restricts my wrist movement. I hope that is clear as I don't know what that bit of bone is called..!! Andy.
Left handed, left wrist
but i often wear 2 watches at home so left and right, but only when i have 2 on. Graham
How about some variety?
I am right-handed, but wear watches on both the left and right wrist. I like the variety, and it does 'feel' different wearing it on the dominant versus non-dominant wrist. Andrew
Interesting
I am so dominantly right-handed, I would have a very difficult time putting on a watch with a tang buckle on my right wrist. I always find it amusing when people wear watches on both wrists at the same time. That's a lot of timekeeping all at once! Cheers...
Really, you should try it ...
It is more 'fidly' to put on, although watches with bracelets are a little easier. But it is well worth the effort. You tend to notice the watch more as it is on your dominant arm (and you also need to be careful not to bump it more often). Mostly it is j...
When all else fails
Hi When all else fails & I can't make a decision - then its both wrists. JML
Right handed, Left Wrist
...very rarely swap, especially in summer once a tan-mark has appeared....
right-handed, left wrist, BUT
as watches get bigger and bigger, I've begun experimenting with wearing them on my right wrist, which -- precisely because I'm right-handed -- is larger than my left wrist. (You bulk up the wrist attached to the hand you use most often.) Large watches alw...
Right Hand Right Wrist
I am right handed and generally wears my watches on the right hand as well. Reason being my left wrist is smaller and watches tends to look too big on my left wrist. Lame? I don't care. haha
Mostly worn on the Left but switch to the right....
I'm Right handed but mostly wear it on the left and switch to the right at times to avoid the tan lines! -MW
Right handed, watch on my right wrist...
it has been so for me since I was a boy, and I am surprise that they are a few more right-right too. Goh
