I wear my WG Cartier bangle on my left. It is very scratched even though I’m right handed. At what point do the scratches blend to form patina? I think I should try to wear watches on my right wrist but that will take some getting used to. My Apple Watch is on a fabric band and I don’t think that does any harm to the Cartier.

How long have you had your Love? And do you wear it every day?

I’ve had my Cartier for many years. However I did not wear it a lot in the beginning. I think it has been on for the longest amount since about October 2017 until now. I plan on wearing it thru the summer and then take it off to rotate with something different.

I feel like a patina builds when you wear it everyday.

I just got mine in the beginning of April and I have been wearing mine on my left hand. I feel like it’ll scratch more in my right hand since I’m right handed and use it a lot more.

Mine does have 2 small visible scratches/dents but it didn’t hurt me as much as i thought lol. I have to admit that im wearing a sweatband most of the time because I don’t need to dress nicely at work. I know it’s weird but I’m not ready yet to wear it without a sweatband :biggrin:

Ignore my little catheter there. What happens when you forget to stop working!

Anyway, this is how I wear mine. Love the patina on it, right hand for sure. It’s surprisingly comfortable stacked up!

Beautiful pieces
Take breaks frequently, hope you feel better!

By the way what sizes do you wear in the Loves?
I like your combination of the plain and the 4 diamonds !

I'm right handed, but I've always worn my watch on my left wrist. I prefer to keep the watch and Loves separately; therefore, the watch stays on the left and my three Loves are always on my right wrist. I usually stack my VCA perlee bracelet with my watch, but sometimes I stack it with my Loves.

I'm right-handed, and I never thought I could switch wrists either (I preferred to wear my bracelet (s)/them on my left arm, but that prevented me from wearing my watch, which MUST be on my left arm when worn.

On another thread, someone (I think @jimmie staton ) suggested giving it a try and switching the bracelets to my dominant arm, which I did. I have never looked back since! Now I can't imagine switching back. Give it a try. I think it only took a few days to get used to - using a wristband occasionally while typing or doing dishes also helped me to get used to wearing it on my dominant arm while still preventing damages. Now I get the best of both worlds - wearing my watch on my left arm when I want to without having to switch back and forth.

I’m right handed and I am used to wearing my watch on my left wrist. I wear my love on my right and it’s not an issue for me. When I first got the bracelet I would wear a sweat ban over the bracelet so it wouldn’t bang on the desk too much when I type but now I’m used to it.
