What side?
It may have been asked before but it's a fairly poignant one for me so I'll ask anyway. What side do you wear your watch on? And is it the same side or opposite to your dominant hand?I went for years wearing a watch on my left and being right handed. However in 2010 I had a pretty nasty motorbike accident which resulted in a smashed left wrist (amongst a lot of other things) and now even though fully recovered, a watch on my left wrist feels horrible due to nerve damage, so I wear on my right. Everyone asks if I'm left handed, and surprises them when I say no...I heard traditionally you are supposed to wear a watch on whatever side you write with, so if you need to write the time/date you can easily check first, I don't know how correct this is!Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
