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

    Because I don't have wrists.

    Why?
    Left wrist

    Need a wristwatch because everytime I check the time on my phone, I have forgotten it by the time I put the phone back in my pocket

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

    Why?
    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).

    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:

    I wear one on my right wrist because I'm left handed. I always assumed you wore it on your weaker side

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

    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.

    An acceptable piece of jewellery for a man to wear.
