OT-Simple Question-Which wrist are you supposed to wear your watch on?

And does it matter if you are left or right handed?

I'd wear it on left ( being right-handed),if I wore a watch, don't think it matters,though.

I'm left-handed and wear it on my left wrist, for what it's worth. I can't recall seeing a guy wearing it on the right wrist.

you should wear your watch on the opposite hand you hold a cup/glass in, this way when holding a cup of beer if someone asks you what time it is you won't spill it all over the floor.

that is all for now

you are supposed to wear it on the opposite hand you do shit with. However, it really doesn't matter. Wearing on the opposite hand just keeps it out of the way when you write, eat, wipe your ass, beat off, whatever.

doesnt matter if you are asking about customs or formalities..... wearing it on your non-dominant hand makes more sense, but only for small matters such as not weighing down your dominant hand or getting in the way or just for being able to adjust your watch easier with your dominant hand.

my watch is my cell phone though.

I'd need controls/buttons on the left side of the watch if I were going to wear it on my right wrist...

Couldn't be bothered though.

Traditionally you wear your watch on your non dominant side, leaving your dominant hand free to wind the watch. Nowadays most watches are kinetic so I guess it doesnt really matter.

If your Gay or a homosexual you wear it on the left wrist and if your straight you wear it on your right....just like earrings.

I think its the other way around...sorry dont wear a watch

Superstition says to wear it on your right wrist. It is said to bring wealth, for whatever that is worth.

I got a new job shortly after I moved my watch to my right, so I roll with it.
