Wearing watch in dominant hand

[admin]

Hello everyone. I wear my watch in my right wrist and I’m right handed, but I always saw people saying that the right hand to wear it is the left wrist. Looking more into it, I found that the convention is to wear it in your non dominant hand (left for righties and right for lefties).

Recently, I tried using it in my left wrist. I feel a little bit more comfrotable in my right wrist, maybe because of all those years wearing that way, but I could wear it in any side without being uncomfortable.
So, I was looking for logical reasons to choose a wrist to wear and the majority wasn’t very convincent.

The reason I found to use it in my left hand was that it is the social convention and I feel a bit weird/different from the watch lovers standards. I do not bump the watch using it in my right hand anymore than I bumped using it in my left. I write (seldom nowadays) and use the mouse with my right hand, but I don’t feel the watch stands in the way.

The reasons I found to use it in my right wrist was that my right wrist/forearm is slightly larger bigger than my left, but only by some milimeters, so that doesn’t make much difference (my watch is kinda big and both my wrists are skinny :/ ). But I have the impression that the watch is shown more, both to me and other people (am I the only one here that often gets himself admiring the watch in the midle of the day?), so that’s a good thing. Also, I’m single, but when I get married, I feel that using the watch and wedding ring on the same hand might be too much, don’t know yet though.

Yes, I tend to overthink things a lot. I would like to know your opinions about that. Do you guys have any reason to choose the wrist you wear and what you think about the dominant hand thing?

Also, I heard people here, like me, love to see watch pictures, so here they are:

Right hand

Left hand

I love this watch and I use it everyday, everywhere, all the time. It’s a quartz, so I don’t think I should worry about using it in hard activities (like hammering). And It doesn’t have a crown, so I don’t have to adjust it.

Thougths?
