I don't and none of my friends seem to either.

- x1798DE 11y agoYou wear your watch on your dominant hand? That feels very unnatural to me. Just manipulating the straps alone seems difficult, so that's a barrier right there...
- Flockster 11y agoNot to forget, that most Watches are designed to be worn on the left side. (Position of the Buttons etc.) Smartwatches are improving here, in displaying a rotated screen, but often even these are asymmetrical designed and thus harder to use on the right arm.
- taylorwc 11y ago> most Watches are designed to be worn on the left side. Yes, for right-handed people. The opposite is true for left-handed people, and left-handed versions of watches.
- Casseres 11y agoI do as well. Even since I was a kid, wearing watches on the wrist of my non-dominant hand felt unnatural. I have no problem manipulating the strap or buttons on my watches.
- TeMPOraL 11y agoThat's probably a cultural thing. In my country, most people (myself included) wear watches on non-dominant hand.
- ferentchak 11y agoI am the only right handed person that I know who wears their watch on their right hand. Most people think I am left handed because of it. I think I started it to be different when I was a teen and the habit just stuck.
- Casseres 11y agoI am right-handed and wear my watch on my right wrist as well. I've never ran into any problems doing so, and manipulating buttons on different watches was never a problem either.
- swiley 11y agoThe reason one would want to do this is to reduce wear on the watch, since the dominant hand is going and doing things the dominant wrist is more likely to be smacked. This goes double for expensive watches.
- Casseres 11y agoPersonally, I think it's the opposite. I wear my watch on the wrist of my dominant hand. I've never had a problem; in fact I think you are more likely to pay attention to it and not smack it into things.
