Larger percentage of people wear wristwatches on the left hand...I remember when I was younger my parents used to call me bush boy whenever I wear the watch on the right hand but since then I have changed!

Who started the wearing of wrist watch on the left Or how did it start?
Does it mean that anyone that wears it on the right is unfashionable?

People have been Putting on wrist watch on the left hand right from the beginning and so shall it be forever under normal circumstances..... Putting it on the left hand make u feel comfortable to look at the time.

And about who first discover to wear it on the left hand my great-grandfather might know.

broz I said great-grandfather and not greatgranny.... And to ur question, maybe Idk

I still wear it on my right

Its worn on the left mostly because that's the lesser used hand. Wearing watches on the right leaves it prone to scratches and breaks as most people use their right hand for everything. Left handed people wear watches on the right hand for this reason.

In Victorian times it was fashionable to wear a watch in either breáśt pocket attached to a chain to avoid it falling off and getting missing.

I guess your parents mocked you because everyone else wears them on the left hand.

1. "..If I'm voted into power, within the next four years, the issue of power will become a thing of the past. Four years is enough for anyone in power to make significant improvement, and if I can't improve on power within this period, it then means I CANNOT DO ANYTHING EVEN IF I AM THERE FOR THE NEXT FOUR YEARS" - Goodluck Jonathan, Vanguard newspaper, 2011

3. “The excesses of Boko Haram must stop. That is the decision of this present government now. It must stop, whatever it will cost the government, it must stop. The military intervention in the affected states is going on well. There is no human rights abuse and there is no collateral damage with regards to security of individuals. I am optimistic that with the level of success already being recorded, the emergency rule in the affected states may not last up to the six months stipulated by the Constitution,” Goodluck Jonathan, 2013

4. "I believe that the kidnap of these girls will be the beginning of the end of terror in Nigeria. We will surely bring their daughters back." President Goodluck Jonathan on Chibok girls May 2014

5. “Over 70 percent of what are called corruption, even by EFCC (Economic and Financial Crimes Commission) and other anti-corruption agencies is not corruption, but common stealing. Corruption is perception, not reality,” the President said during his 7th Presidential Media Chat

LillyAnne:
I wear mine on my right hand

charix:
Left handed people wear watches on the right hand for this reason.

Not true. I wear mine on the left hand.

left handed peeps wear it on their right wrist and vice versa for comfort.

Hmmmm






Left hand according to F.G Morgan Theory 1947

Well it depends on whether you are right or left handed .....
Watches are meant to be worn on the non dominant hand for comfort and to avoid damage..
It seems the left is traditional ,but its just because most folks are right handed ..
I wear on the left when I'm running around, I wear right some times too

TheRealMrStan has stopped creating senseless threads and pushing it to FP? But the madness of pushing silly threads to front page still continues.....

I dont care which wrist is 'right'. . What i care is dat i LOVE wearin mine in my left wrist.. And um, Dats all.
