Any wrist I wish
Re: Which Hand Is Right To Wear Wristwatch? by fatdon2(m): 7:29pm On Dec 21, 2014
I
believe the custom is to wear it on
your left wrist if you’re right-handed
and to wear it on your right if you’re
left-handed. It just makes sense when
you’re adjusting flywheels and throwing lariats, huh? Also, if you’re a
righty and your watch is on the left,
it’s going to be easier to set and wind
(assuming you’re a nonquartz
traditionalist). Aside from that, who
cares?

PLEASE SHARE: The 5 Biggest lies President Goodluck Jonathan has told Nigerians.
https://www.nairaland.com/2053010/5-biggest-lies-president-goodluck

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

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

op do u need Santa Claus to tell u left wrist is the right wrist to wear wristwatches?
wearing watches on right hand is like using square to cover a round hole i.e the digits in the watch will be wrongly placed
Re: Which Hand Is Right To Wear Wristwatch? by Calculux95: 7:36pm On Dec 21, 2014
Its expected you wear it on your less favoured hand, if your right handed you wear it on your left and vice versa, I guess this is to grant an easy access or view anytime a person feels like checking the time..

Wrist watches were made popular in the post industrial era of Europe in the 17th century( Madara,Guaiva ,1979).

However, a renown economist Ridi de Gualle of the industrial town of Renns in present day France and Patriarch of the Govou family,makers of the popular present day Quartz watches had only one hand,his right hand.

During bazaars and exhibitions showing the company's new wristwatch products,he always wore them on his right hand. People saw this as vogue. Our parents who studied in France imported the culture of wearing watches on the right hand rather than the left.

That just the simple truth....call me B*stard if there is a contrary report to this episode.

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?
wrist watches were designed to be worn on the left hand. by doing so, you can easily look at the watch. you can also with ease turn the knob to reset or adjust the watch. This is not possible if the watch is worn on the right hand.

My uncle wears his wrist watch on his right hand same with my elder sis and same also with me. I think its a thing of choice. Reason why majority of people wears it on their left wrist is that there are many right handed people so it's seem more comfortable to wear your wrist watch on the left hand because you do a lot of things with your right hand. So I guess that's why.

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.

I find wearing two on a go on both hands and/or wrists very stylish! I've seen it and tried it! It's cool!

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 ..

This is the correct answer.

Op, no offense, but have you heard of this website called google.com?

Excellent point. This is undeniable. The knob is always on the right side of the watch face.
