Answer 1

I am right handed, and wear it on the right. i use my left hand to carry trays (waitress) and it works better for me on the right,.  

Answer 2

You don't "have to."  I am left handed and I wear watches on my right wrist.  

Answer 3

Most people are right handed and if they wear their watch on their right hand it gets beat up faster.  I am personally ambidextrous and wear mine on my right wrist.  Do what ever makes you happy!

Answer 4

For it is used less; if you are left-handed you should wear it in right one.

Answer 5

you don't really 'have to' wear it on the left. most people are right-handed, so they wear their watch on the left. lefties wear their watches on the right. but you can wear it on wichever arm is more comfortable to you.

Answer 6

We don't. Usually we wear it ON the left hand if you are right handed and on the right hand if you are left handed so it wont get in the way when you write. But it is your choice. What I just said is just more comfortable.,

I'm right handed and wear my watch on my right hand aswell. It doesn't bother me when I write.

Answer 7

The left hand is used less, and it's easier to read from left to right...so you look at your left hand. Oh, and it's easier, if your right handed, to get the clasp on the right way. :]

Answer 8

If you are right handed you wear the watch on the left, if you are left handed on the right.  It's too cumbersome to wear it on your writing hand's wrist.
