I am left handed and have always preferred to wear my watch on my left wrist.

However, in my quest for a new watch, I have come to discover that the larger, "boyfriend" styled watches really bother me when I write. I am wondering if I can get use to wearing a watch on my right wrist.

Do people even wear watches on their right wrist? I've never noticed.

For those of you who are left handed, which wrist to you wear your watch?
 
i'm left handed and for all of my life i have worn my watch on my left hand until recently when i got my pandora barrel bracelet. it's easier for me to put the bracelet on my left arm using my right hand than the other way around, so therefore, i put my watch on my right hand now to keep it from being scratched from my bracelet.

it was weird at first but i've been doing that now for the past couple of months, and now it feels less weird having the watch on my right arm because i have gotton somewhat used to it.
 
I am right handed and wear my watch on my right. My husband is left handed and he also wears his watch on his right.

I also noticed today that my boss wears his watch on the right, he is left handed.
 
Technically I am ambi, but I mostly write left because of how my desk is set up right now (based on how my desk is which I lean towards), and WHEN and IF I wear a watch I usually end up with it on my right arm, despite trying in vain to put it on my left. I sleep with my FitBit band on the left though.
 
I am right handed & wear my watch on the left. Everyone I know who is left handed wears the watch on the right. I just think wearing a watch on the opposite wrist takes the bulk away from the writing hand.
 
I am right handed and wear my watch on my right arm. I grew up doing this as it was more comfortable and no one told me otherwise, but one time at my first job out of college I was at an important meeting and I saw an older woman staring at me and when it was over, she came up to me and said "I noticed you write with your right hand, why are you wearing your watch on that arm?" She looked at me very stern and said "you are suppose to wear it on the other arm" and turned and left. I stood there dumbfounded. lol Although I have tried to change arms, it just isn't going to happen.
