All my life I have liked wearing my watch on the right arm, but I got a friend that says that's weird. I don't see why it's weird though. It feels the most comfortable there for me.

[teezzy]

That is kinda strange. People who put the face on their inner wrist are weirdoes too.

I keep my wallet in my right side pocket though so yolo it up OP

 

[Amory]

Yeah it's weird

You're weird

 

[DrJohnGalt]

FREAK.

EDIT: Although I will admit I used to wear it on my right hand. And I'm right-handed.

 

[DESTROYA]

People still wear watches?
With cell phones glued to everyone's face and hands you'd think people have no use for them.

 

[John2290]

Fairly sure it was one of those winks to other closest gays in years past, like wearing an earring on the other ear. I suppose you're safe these days, though I'd change it to the left If you plan on going to Russia or a Muslim country... unless that's your thing.

 

[nush]

People still wear watches?

We do, more convenient than pulling out your phone to check the time. I have clocks around my home as well.

I wear a watch. It’s faster than getting my phone out and I don’t always keep my phone on me

 

[Halcyon]

Are you left handed? It makes sense if you're left handed as the reason it's on most people's left is it is easier to read if you're doing something with your dominant hand.


If you're not left handed then we will burn you with fire.

I do too but thought I was one of the remaining few , don't own a cellphone tho

Cellphones are for losers. Apple Watches are for winners.

 

[teezzy]

I wear a TImex Weekender. I dig how low profile it is. Easy to dress up or down

I wear an Apple Watch. Allows me to keep my phone put away 70% of the day.

 

[poppabk]

I wear it on my left arm which is the right arm.

 

[Ikutachi]

Is it the same arm you use to wipe your ass with?

 

[Maiden Voyage]

Right hand dominant, watch on left wrist.

It's a status & class symbol. Style as well. Functionally, I would also rather look at my wrist rather than pulling my cellphone out.

 

[Blade2.0]

No

 

[Lemonade by Beyonce]

Are you left handed? If not, yea it’s a little weird.

 

[quickwhips]

How do you find you phone without a smart watch?

 

[Woo-Fu]

I've had a stainless Tissot T-Touch for over 20 years, I still wear it now and then. I didn't stop wearing it full time because of cellphones but because I stopped giving a shit what time it was. Wear it camping for the compass more than anything.

This isnt normal? Why is right wrong? Its my dominant hand.......this is logical

 

[Pagusas]

I think it’s because by being on your left hand you don’t have to stop doing what you are doing with your dominant hand to check it. Like if you are writing it’s easier to turn your left wrist.

 

[Prison Mike]

I wear on my right, im right handed but left footed in sports.

 

[Tesseract]

just a phone, no watch or gadgets

sun gets you close enough

Hmmmm fuck, this is also logical

 

[MetalAlien]

on my left arm but i'm left handed.

 

[nush]

sun gets you close enough

Sun is up - Daytime
Sun is down - Nighttime

Close enough.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

Im a right hand dominant, right wrist watch wearer as well OP.

bht i havent worn a watch in like 20 years

 

[Celcius]

I'm the exact same way OP. I'm right handed so it's always been natural to wear my watch on my right wrist.

 

[Pierogi]

I do too, ain't gonna lie

 

[Elginer]

Bro wtf is wrong with you?

 

[Futurematic]

I’m left handed, although no one told me until oh, 30 or so lol. So left wrist it is!

 

[Alter_Fridge]

I wear it left, but weirdly far up my forearm

 

[GloveSlap]

I never knew it was a big deal which arm you put it on, but the ass wiping post above makes a good point.

On a related note...i got chewed out in basic training because i apparently wore my belt buckle on the wrong side.

 

[Cockles & Whelks]

Right handed. Wear on right hand. Can't imagine a watch on Left. Is that enough to get banned on Twitter now?

 

[Azzurri]

I thought it depended on what hand you use.

Since I'm right handed I wear mine on my left and vice versa for someone who is left handed.

 

[C4.lukin]

I mean if you are left handed it makes sense. It makes more sense to use your dominant hand to manipulate your watch. Also if you are taking a test, or whatever, you want to be able to keep writing while glancing at the time.

 

[BaneIsPain]

I wear two watches. Just not crazy enough to wear left and right.

 

[C4.lukin]

So you wear them on the same side? Or maybe wearing one on your nether regions, “In the middle?” Because that is a thread unto itself.

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

That is weirder than liking mint flavored candy.

 

[Dark Star]

I'm left-handed so I wear a watch on my right wrist. It's hard to write and do stuff with a watch on your dominant arm. I even take it off when playing guitar, it just gets in the way, either way.

Actually, I only wear a watch when I'm dressing up, like for a formal event lol. It's dead weight unless you have a smartwatch, or something not so luxurious stainless steel and heavy.

 

[teezzy]

I'm left handed and wear that shit on my left wrist

NO EXCUSES

 

[Deleted member 17706]

I wear it on my right. I write with my left.

I'm dominant with my right for other things, though, like scissors, throwing, computer mouse (obviously), etc.

 

[Topher]

The problem is my stupid left hand doesn't posses the knowledge/ability required to perform the action of putting on a watch. So my smarter, more able right hand shackles the left with the burden of carrying the watch.

Knowledge is power.

 

[Stiflers Mom]

It's more of a fashion statement these days.

 

[kretos]

I wear the watch on my leg

 

[Zato]

Left wrist for men, right for women.

That’s the long standing convention.

 

[Alx]

As a left-handed person I wear it on the right wrist, but it's becoming more of a convention/habit now. It used to be inconvenient because the control buttons were less reachable (especially to rewind non-digital watches), but it's a non issue now.
Also it was convenient to keep your watch on your non-dominant wrist when you would be using your main hand to write with a pen or use a tool, but now that we're mostly using keyboards that's irrelevant too (maybe even counter-productive, if you consider the tablet/phone scenario where your non dominant hand is used to hold the device, making the dominant the free hand).
