Yes only stupid people wear it on thier right wrist
-
I wear my watch on my right wrist, too. It feels uncomfortable on my left wrist. So I guess we'll just be weird together;)

If you're right handed you wear it on your left, if you're left handed you wear it on your right. It's the opposite of whatever hand you write with.

I wear mine on whatever wrist i feel like wearing it on on the day... I really dont think that it matters...

Most people tend to wear them on the left...however, I've seen a fair number wear them on the right as well. I assume it may be related to being left or right handed, and that originally wrist watches were a bit pricey and new...and so a right handed person might put them on the wrist attached to the hand (or the other way around) that was less likely to be used as "hard" or often, to protect the watch. I think you should wear it where it is most comfortable to YOU!

There is no set standard on which wrist you wear it on or it would be called left wrist or right writs watch. People who are right handed wear it on the left and left normally on the right as that is the hand less used to help protect the watch from damage.

I'm right handed and I wear mine on my left wrist. I figure if I'm filling in something that requires the time I just have to look down at my left wrist to see the time besides it gets in the way when I'm writing.

No this is not wierd. I wear my watch on my right and I am right handed. But I get that same thing from my family and friends.

Wear the watch where you want to... it is your watch. I have changed wrists at varying times for different activities.

In the days when watches needed regular winding it was more convenient to wear them on the left wrist because the winder was more accessible. Nowadays it doesn't make any difference - wear it where you choose.

I'm right handed - I've worn my watch on my right wrist for about 30 years now.... Doesnt worry me what people say then or now....!

In response to an earlier post about not needing movement anymore to keep a watch running that is actually that is not correct. The only watches that do not need to be wound are quartz (battery), most "fine" Swiss watches use automatic/manual movements. An automatic watch is wound through a rotor that moves with motion to wind the mainspring, this is called the power reserve and keeps the watch running. A manual watch needs to be hand wound by the crown and will not keep running unless it is wound. I will use the brand everyone knows Rolex for an example. Rolex currently only produce automatic watches. Set it down with no movement and two days later it will have stopped running. It can be wound back up via the crown or movement.
