I`ve always wondered if there was any hidden meaning to wearing your watch on your right? I know that some people are left-handed and thus are more liable of doing it. But for some person who is right-handed it looks a bit out of the ordinary. A bit like a "rebellion against society" or a secret organization`s code. I know that most people would say they wear their watches the way they feel better. But it would be nice to hear the more bizarre opinions on this topic.

Feel free to call me a paranoid, conspiracy-seeking idiot. :-!
I am into martial arts/boxing (right-handed), orthodox stance, wanted to get used to southpaw, and fundamentally sound with left hand punching. So over the years I only stood southpaw to throw lefts, .........so I would often times switch the watch to right side to get used to left hand dominance, err both. Logically I shouldn't wear a watch, but WIS are not logical. b-)

I am right eye dominant .....and also there is sound theory that says right I dominant people should ideally swing a baseball bat and golf club left (which I do better at..........and technically I would pickup time on a watch FASTER on my right wrist being right eye dominant

Sorry, OT... but who on earth trains for boxing/MA with a watch on?! What instructor even allows that? This is both dangerous and not good for the watch.
I hope nobody wears watches while sparring with someone else. When I made the conscious decision to develop my coordination and technique with southpaw stance........during this period . I made the conscious decision being a WIS that had contributed to these same discussions before on WUS, to try wearing my watch on my right wrist, anytime I wore a watch, which did not include anytime sparring anyone.
