  • Left wrist. Galaxy Gear s2 buttons are on the right, so it was primarily designed to be worn on the left.

    same thing with Pebble watches.

      Every watch that I've ever seen has the adjustment button/knob on the right.

      I suspect that someone somewhere makes a watch for left-handed people that they can wear on their right hand, and that it would have been available from Ned Flanders' Leftorium.

        Apple Watch can be setup for left-handed wearers and the dial will be on the left.

  • dress to the left

    I identify as triple wristed.

      No "I don't wear a watch' option either.

      Not sure what OP is expecting, people wear their watch on their non-dominate side. 90%-ish of the world is right-handed so 90% will wear it on the left wrist and vice versa (bar a few weirdos).

      Insert obligatory left-handed complaint about the controls being on the wrong side here.

        i'm left handed and i wear on the left wrist

        • You're just one of the weirdos or the nuns at school hit you until you wore it on the 'correct' wrist.

        • @D C: actually my old man was in that class.
          for some reason i found it more comfortable on the left side

        • @myusername:

          for some reason

          Weirdo it is then.

          Carry on.

    • limp wristed?

  • its typically on the left anyways..

  • If I wear one I wear it on my right even though I am right-handed. I think when I got my first watch nobody told me what wrist to wear it on and I have gotten used to it that way.

    Most people will wear it on the opposite hand to the one they write with.

      Me too - right handed and wear it on my right wrist. It is annoying when I write (catches on the edge of books, table etc) so I have to take it off and am often misplacing it. It feels too strange to wear in on the other wrist now after decades of wearing it on the right.

      • Me three - left handed and wear on left. Too late to change

    On the right. I am right handed.

  • Always needs to be worn on left wrist. looks weird if its on right wrist.

  • Apple Watch can be flipped over for people to be able to twist the crown using their left hand on a right wrist. I thought that was clever!

    Should have 4 options:
    1) Left-Outside facing
    2) Left-Inside facing
    3) Right-Outside facing
    4) Right-Inside facing

    I'm left inside facing.

    Flavor Flav style.

  • Right wrist, cause I burnt my left when I was young, so I had to wear it on the right growing up. Now am use to it.

  • On the left.I am right handed.

  • On the left and I'm right handed.

    I'm pretty sure the buttons on my watch are on the right, which makes it easier to access with my right hand index

  • Most watches have the crown on the right to it makes most sense to wear it on your left hand.

  • On left hand, outward facing.

    I'm waiting for Watchnerd to answer.

    Would seem a bit limiting to only wear ONE watch on ONE wrist.

    Watchface-up (regular) Left wrist.
    Watchface-down (inverted) Right wrist.

    To reduce carpal tunnel, I change them up every two weeks or so.

  • On the right and I am right handed

    I am right-handed, but I used to wear a watch on the left, facing out.

    since I have lived in the bush for yonks, I never found the need to wear a watch.

    I get up with the sun, eat when I'm hungry, go to bed when I am tired from playing computer games.

    I set the record function on the decoder to watch my TV shows, at my convenience, commercial free. or download them from the internet.

    does one even need to wear a watch nowadays with everyone having a mobile with the time on it?

    I'm mostly right-handed but I mouse with my left hand, so I wear my fitbit/watch on the right. I spend a lot more time on a computer than writing, so it's out of the way like this

  • I only wear it on the right wrist because it's easier to put on with my left hand.
    I could imagine if I was right handed, it would be easier to put it on my left wrist.

  • Left ankle.
