I'm right handed and wear it on my right wrist... always have.

When I got my first watch back in the 5th Grade, I put it on my right wrist not knowing any better.
My teacher was hassling me one day, adamant I need to wear it on my right but he couldn't explain to me why exactly that's a rule.
So it stayed on my right wrist, by the time I realised it can get in the way when writing it was too late because I'd never worn it on the left it just felt too weird there.

Right handed and I just don't like the feel of anything on my dominant hand.

Left arm is my useless arm so I don't mind throwing accessories on it.

Right handed. Wear my watch on my left hand. My grandfather wore his watch on his left arm but with the face facing down. No clue why. Seems like and old timers thing.

I wear on the right, just was always the natural choice for me...my Father was a lefty, so that might some residue in the genes....tried to wear on my left a few times, just felt completely wrong...and, I felt a little violated by it....

I’m right handed and I wear my watches on my right wrist. Not really sure why, I always have and so when I try to put it on my left wrist it feels really uncomfortable...the crown also digs into my hand which I don’t like. So it’ll stay on my right wrist for the foreseeable future.
