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 a lefty. In my younger rougher years i wore on my left wrist but i broke a spring bar in a bracelet while punching someone. After that I wore it on my right.

found out later that it was common for people to wear on their non dominant hand.Being a lefty, you grow up in a right handed world. It’s a benefit because you have to overcome daily obstacles and learn to do things both ways. This is why lefty’s are better athletes than righties in general.

I’m left handed so I do wear my watch on my right wrist. I’m now going to say something wildly unpopular but it makes way more sense to do so. You crown is not exposed and less likely to be damaged as well as it digging into your hand. I do see the other side I suppose for historical reason it’s easier to wind with an outward facing crown, but honestly that’s not really necessary today, with power reserves being what they are and automatic movements. To me a outward facing crown looks strange even though I’m the minority. There I said it, bombs away!!!

I'm right-handed, but wear my watch on the right wrist because I lost a bet in high-school (circa 1986).

Hope this helps.

Plenty of things said about guys that wear their watch on the right wrist but some are being polite.

gay ... not that there is anything wrong with that.

Well, that's all that really matters isn't it... unless you're a gay.

I hear watch crown digging problems said and well, if you can't handle a watch crown.:rodekaart

I thought that was a single earring in the right ear? And only during the 80's? Everything is different now!!! Lol

I broke my left wrist when I was 6 and my right wrist is half an inch thicker. I wear bigger watches (+42mm) on my right sometimes since they look better on a 7.5 inch wrist. Also, my left wrist gets sore sometimes so I swap. Then there are those times I am duel-wielding at home

Well, it took 11 years, but the wait was worth it, since this clearly is THE answer.
