Wear a watch? - Page 3

Mark · 07-01-2009, 17:49

When I wear a watch, it's by the convention. I don't like loose watches, so the strap on mine is tight enough to leave a mark. If I'm sat anywhere where it's safe to do so, the watch comes off.

left wrist, right handed. As mentioned before, I've always been taught that you wear your watch on your opposite hand to your writing one.

That said, I made a conscious decision not to wear a watch when I came out to Hawaii. It's now coming up on three months and I found within a couple of weeks I wasn't missing it. If I really need to know the time I can look at my phone, but for the most part I've found that I really don't need it. Our western civilisation puts clocks everywhere!

Left wrist right handed. I can't not wear a watch, I feel not fully dressed without it on. I'm allergic to all watches eventually, underneath it looks like it should be incredibly painful, but it doesnt hurt at all *nails 'ard*

I don't think I was ever taught which wrist my watch should go on, I find it most comfortable on my left wrist so that's where it goes.

Left wrist and right handed here although from the ages of about 3-9 I wore my watch on my right wrist, then one day I just decided I was doing it wrong so changed, it felt a bit odd for a period (like not wearing a watch would be) and now it feels completely right.

I also use my knife and fork the 'wrong' way round and always have done, not entirely sure why but it just seems right to me that you'd use your stronger hand for the fork (which is always in use) and the weaker for the knife which is only needed more occasionally.

Right Handed, watch on left wrist. It just feels weird to either not wear a watch or wear it on my right. My dad is right handed and wears his on his right arm. It comes from when he was working on the building sites, he had a tendency to catch his watch with hammers and the like.
