I am left-handed and wear my watch on the left hand. I used to wear watch on right hand in college, but ever since I play golf the clasp always come off when I swing the club. I switched watch to the left and now I cannot switch back to the right hand even the day that I don't golf.
 
I'm right-handed but I used to wear my watch on the right hand until my BF told me I'm weird @_@ Since then I always wear my watch on the left hand.
 
One theory is that since most people are right handed, putting the watch on the left wrist made it easier to wind.

Now with batteries and stuff, there is no need to wind, but it seems to somehow be natural once you get started, or have ever had to actually wind a watch!

Buzz Aldrin (the 2nd man on the moon) is left handed and wears his on his right wrist. The astronauts were provided with Omega Speedmaster watches for the trip.

In a recent Omega Boutique display in NY of his adventures, he pointed out that the Omega Speedmaster watch in the life size display was on the wrong (left) wrist!

The Omega Speedmaster was also the first wrist watch worn on the moon. Neil Armstrong left his (same Omega) in the lunar module.
 
Right handed and I wear my watch on my left wrist! However I remember when I was younger - I would put my watch on my right wrist and people would always ask if i was a leftie! lol!
