I'm also a lefty, but I wear my watch on the left wrist.  I probably get more desk diving rash on my bracelets, but so what....

Do what comes naturally.  You can even wear one on each wrist...........right, Jeff?subtlelaugh.gif



subtlelaugh.gif Agree with Graham and Mark....do what's natural. Do what makes you happy, and not what convention dictates. The first Panerais were worn on the right wrist by the navy commandos because the depth gauge was on the left wrist and for sure, most of these commandos were right-handed.

 

My wife and daughter are both lefties and they both wear their watches on the left. Might be cumbersome when writing though. William is also right that there may be "confrontations" when worn in such a manner. But if you are always aware of where your watch is worn and plan seconds ahead of any activity, you'll be able to adjust just fine.

And just 2 pointers, if I may: never wind nor adjust your watch when worn. As Mark said, this is a No-No. 2nd pointer -- if you have a small tabletop tripod, you can set your P&S on it, go on timer mode and then shoot without removing your watch from the wrist. Lastly, to erase all doubt whther left or right....Anonimo has watches that have crowns at the 6 o'clock and Grand Seiko, toosubtlelaugh.gif

Hope this helps.yourock.gif
