This is kind of silly, but this morning I tried wearing this watch on my dominant hand (in my case it’s the right hand). It feels like it’s the first time I’ve worn a watch, I’m getting a good bicep workout.

I guess there are a lot of leftys that wear their watches on their dominant hand, beautiful watch BTW!

MichelleP · 22 October 2021, 05:53 AM

I can't do it. Feels so awkward

rolexjackson · 22 October 2021, 05:56 AM

It does feel so very awkward

Yes I wear mine on my dominant hand, the left.

NickD1975 · 22 October 2021, 06:10 AM

I’ve always done it, feels completely wrong on the other hand. The downside is that you knock your watch on things more often if you have it on your dominant hand so I wouldn’t recommend it.

kieselguhr · 22 October 2021, 06:12 AM

I have developed fundamental watch wearing habits using my left wrist over the years. No sense in negating all that hard work in favor of an awkward sensation.

Also my dominant hand seems to get into a lot more precarious situations than my left.

I'm a lefty that wears my watch on the left wrist. My dad is the same way. I never really thought much about it. I have tried to switch wrists, but I worry I'm going to bang up my watches since I'm used to protecting my left wrist.

I wear mine on the right hand

JonaG · 22 October 2021, 06:33 AM

Mines on my left dominant hand and I guess it comes from back when my dad strapped my first watch on my wrist. Feels natural to me and it doesn’t get bashed around like some might think.

S52 · 22 October 2021, 06:36 AM

Right handed, have always worn a watch on my right hand. It just feels awkward and wrong on the left.

southtexas · 22 October 2021, 06:37 AM

I’m a leftie and have always worn it on that hand.

Me too. Dominant right handed here and have always worn my watches on the right wrist.

alphadweller · 22 October 2021, 06:39 AM

I tried a few times, watches do feel heavier.

JSolution · 22 October 2021, 06:42 AM

Tried it when my wrist had a bandage on it once.. didn’t work out. Chose not to wear one.

Burlington · 22 October 2021, 06:45 AM

Also favour my right hand and wear my watch on that side too.

OP I’m not trying to hijack your thread but you got me thinking and you inspired this Poll thread https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=825739

That’s exactly my point.

I have always worn on the right hand, I’m right handed. As others have said wearing on the right feels weird, same for me if I wear on the left hand.

Harry-57 · 22 October 2021, 07:14 AM

I'm right handed. I used to wear a watch on my left wrist until I broke it in an accident when I was 18 (my wrist, not my watch). I swapped my watch to my right wrist and never went back.

GMT Freak · 22 October 2021, 12:15 PM

Dominant left hand checking in, can confirm I wear my watch on the left.

m3tek44 · 22 October 2021, 12:19 PM

I’ve tried to wear on my right wrist that only lasted good 5 minutes. Felt awkward. No go for me.

joejet · 22 October 2021, 12:47 PM

Just go full on Maradona one on each wrist

No kidding! Just tried it. Lasted 30 seconds. Too tight for one and just felt really weird.

Krash · 22 October 2021, 05:21 PM

I never tried it. Not sure I ever will. For me, it’s extremely unnatural.

Lefty here. I wear my watch on the right wrist. Wearing it on the left feels extremely unnatural even though that is my dominant hand.
