    I wear it on my penis so whenever I urinate I can time myself.

    Because I don't have wrists.

    I do, force of habit. I don't like being dependant on my phone to check the time, no idea why though.

    Left hand. I'm right handed and write with my right hand regularly. Having it on the left protects the watch (I use my right arm all the time, more movement = more scratches/bumps/whatever).

    Urinating must be very difficult then!

    Also, left. Because I'm a lefty. <ducks>

    I assumed everyone was like this!

    All you people saying you wear it on your dominant hand. Is it not really uncomfortable when you're writing?

    Or in exams when you're trying to time your answers you would have to stop writing to see what time it is :eek:

    Left hand personally. Feel naked without a watch.

    If you wear it on your writing side it just gets in the way, that's the case for me anyway


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,896 ✭✭✭Hande hoche!


    Why?
    Out of interest does anyone wear their watch on the inside of their wrist?

    Edit: Already addressed.Kudos gentlemen.

    I just propped mine up on my desk, much handier than actually wearing it during an exam.

    I'm right handed and i wear it on my right its most comfortable incidentally my dominant eye is my left my fathers the exact same with booth dominant eye and wears his watch on his right.


    **** be weird

    should point out i used to wear it on my left, but switched to the right as i used to play pool and the watch i had then, which was held on by a claspe, kept poping open every time i'd strike the ball with the cue.

    only noticed the change in my hand writing after that then too so stuck with it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,252 ✭✭✭✭stovelid


    Right.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,479 ✭✭✭Notorious97


    Why?
    Im left handed and wear a watch always on my left arm, couldnt really go without wearing a watch, feels a bit weird if i dont.

    I assumed most people wore it on their left regardless of the hand they write with, rarely see someone wearing it on their right.

    Whatever works for people!

    Isnt the right/left thing to do with being able to wind-up your watch with your 'strong' hand while wearing it?

    By wind-up, I don't mean taking the p*** out of your watch.

    i was going to say something similar. i can't remember who pointed it out to me as a kid. the dial and buttons are on the right hand side of the watch so it's worn on the left hand providing easy access to the controls for the right hand. if worn on the right hand, you'd have to take the watch off to adjust the controls. . .either that or you look like you're having a seizure with your arms all tangled


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,988 ✭✭✭constitutionus

    thats cause watches are designed, like alot of things ,for right handed people.

    try using a cheque book with your left hand.

    pain in the arse to fill in the stubbs when its getting to the end.

    :)

    ditto for a knife or a scissors.

    I don't wear a wristwatch. I have this handy little device that tells the time, BUT, not only that it can be used to communicate with people too via calls or texts
