Do you wear your wedding ring and watch on the same hand?

There's been tons of discussions on here about matching your watch to your ring, and even if you wear bracelets on the same hand as your watch. However, I haven't seen one on if you wear your ring and watch on the same hand. As of now, I wear both on my left side.

I have a very fashion forward friend who stated he planned to wear ring on the right, and watch on the left when he married as it was more "balanced" and more "European".

Would love your guys thoughts.

I wear my wedding ring, watch, and a silver bracelet on my left hand and wrist. I also wear a silver and leather bracelet on my right wrist.

I'm not married yet but I think I would feel most comfortable wearing my wedding ring on my left hand along with my watch.

Fashion forward has nothing to do with wearing a ring on the right vs left. It's actually the other way around. Eastern Europeans wear their rings on the right and unless something has changed in the last hour, Eastern Europe is not necessarily known for their cutting edge fashion

Unless his ring is huge, I don't see how it would look balanced or symmetrical.

Both on left. I pay no attention to whether my ring and watch and ring match. Horrors!

SS Tudor Submariner and gold wedding ring on left hand. Sometimes, my college ring with fraternity letters encrusted on the stone worn on right hand.

My wedding ring is two-tone, so I never have to face the fashion faux pas of mis-matched watch. /s

This

My watch and wedding ring are both on the left.

Also, wearing the ring on the right hand is not entirely 'European' either. The Spanish do, but in the UK we don't and neither do the Germans or French. I don't think the Italians do, but I might be a man in orthopaedic shoes later (stand corrected ).
