Which wrist

From looking at photos, the majority of men wear their watch on their left wrist. Would you indulge me and tell me what wrist you wear your watch on please?

I'm right handed and wear my watch on my right wrist. At home I wear one on each wrist to rotate them. I don't have a watch winder.

I wear it on the left wrist, unless I was looking straight at myself, then it would be on the right.

Left wrist, left-handed writer. Not an issue for me.

Left handed, wear on my right wrist. It’s a habit I developed at school to avoid my watch scraping on the desk while writing.

Wiki says that studies suggest that approximately 10% of the world population is left-handed.
So far the Poll is ahead of the number you would expect IF left-handed people wore their watch on their right wrist, and right-handed people wore it on their left wrist.
My Son is right-handed but wears his watch on his right wrist. No particular reason, has always done so.

Right handed and ...wristed



Feels too odd on my left.

Although I have been training my left side coordination over the last few years so am now somewhat ambidextrous for many things, but not writing yet.
