What Arm Do You Wear Your Watch On?

[veggiepatch1959]

I've recently noticed that there is an increasing number of people wearing their watch on their right arm.

I always thought that people wore their watches on their non dominant arm, i.e., right handed people wore their watch on their left arm and vice versa. Now I'm not so sure. But left handed people make up only about 10% of the population.

Which arm do you wear your watch on?

I stopped wearing a watch over 10 years ago..

(That’s over 5,256,000 minutes to you watch-wearing freaks)

Found things a lot more enjoyable as I was able to live more in the moment, not constantly be seeing time ticking away..

Left arm and I’m right handed, pretty sure it would be a right twat to put on my right arm.

Who actually wears a watch these days? A simple look at a phone & bam...there’s the time.

You can tell the time in less than a second with a watch.

A bit longer for a phone if you're fussed about convenience.

A helluva lot longer if you're a woman rummaging through a handbag.

I'm a sort of a watch collector and I'm looking at a Tissot analog / digital atm.

Especially on the stroke of midnight

How many hands are on the baby arm?

As many as possible

Left arm. I always thought the idea for doing that was because you use your non dominant hand/arm less...and therefore you lessened the chance of scratching or damaging the watch.

They are designed for the left hand. Note where the main button/knob thingy is. It’s easy for the right hand to manipulate/wind as required.

Well done. I never thought of that.

Apple Watch (my daily watch) allows you to configure it so the crown is facing out on either arm.
