Which Hand Should You Wear a Watch On? - Non-dominant vs Dominant (Left or Right Hand?)

[@EricTMeraki]

When I was younger and didn't know better I wore it on my right side. Took awhile to get used to wearing it on the left lol.

[@iamdarryl]

I was doing the same. I was trying to wear mine on my non dominant hand but that wasn’t working for me. Left hand it is

[@Harutjun]

i am al lefty and i wear it left handed we live in a right hand world, i even play guitar right handed / computer mouse etc.... you get the point

[@iamdarryl]

That's exactly me . And that's why I put my watch on the left

[@Harutjun]

[@michaelmacias8]

You’re supposed to wear it on your left hand

[@iamdarryl]

@@michaelmacias8 Is it because your right handed, or just in general?

[@michaelmacias8]

@@iamdarryl just in general

[@joek3697]

I have started looking into this because it’s uncomfortable to swing a hammer with the hand wearing a watch. So I think I’ll switch to wearing it on left

[@iamdarryl]

Good move cuz you dont really want to damage your watch when you do labor like that.

[@BLONDBOYBO]

Gotta got straight to the point now these days

I don't wanna deny your advice but i always wear my watch my right hand and as you say i feel so dominant and confident

[@iamdarryl]

Oh not at all. Advice is just a guide. Feel free to use it if you needed. And as you said, you like to wear your watch with your right hand, and you feel confident about it so why not

[@adz693]

I'm left handed and wear my mine on right with the dial on my inside wrist. I think a few lefties do this. I find it's easier when doing something left dominant task to give a quick glance down to your inside wrist rather than turning your arm over. I am a bit amby tho cos I write left but scissors right and golf / bat right.

[@iamdarryl]

Interesting point of view. For some reason, I cant get use to doing that

[@Jesse_Richardson08]

Always non-dominant hand, Makes sense to use tools, writing, throwing, tennis, brushing my teeth, etc with my left and keep the watch safe on the right wrist.

[@iamdarryl]

You hit that statement right there

[@grassytramtracks]

And it also makes it easier to look at when you're doing something else

[@chronoace1970]

I'm right handed but i have more awareness towrds my right hand. I used to wear watches on my left wrist but it was more prone to hitting door jams and stuff, so i switched to my right wrist and havent had that issue since.

[@iamdarryl]

Got ya. I do the same. Im left handed, but i have more awareness wearing my watch on my left so I wear mine on my left instead of the opposite. But once again, people have their own preference just like you do. Thanks for the comment!

[@technologymusings2376]

Given the typical crown location at 3-o'clock, I prefer right wrist wear to prevent the crown digging into my wrist when I flex it. I personally find that uncomfortable.

[@iamdarryl]

Gotcha, your statement makes sense. I respect your preference choice.

[@lobuxracer]

I write with my left hand, but I can write with either hand. I use tools with either hand, and usually when one gets tired, I just use the other one. The only thing that doesn't work left handed is scissors and cutting tools like them. I was told to wear a watch on my right as a child, but I don't think there is an advantage to it. Either seems to be fine, and having easy access to the crown on my diver's watch is very helpful. Oddly enough, even though I write left handed, I mouse right handed so my right actually gets more use than my left these days. Moving the watch permanently to the left! 👍

[@iamdarryl]

Dude, as a lefty, I feel your pain with scissors ✂️. Yup, I always wear mine on the left !

[@lobuxracer]

@@iamdarryl Even more funny - with a chef's knife, I always cut left handed. With a carving knife or a serrated knife, I always cut right handed. I'll actually change hands automatically if I pick up a knife with the "wrong" one.

[@syconiic704]

so glad i’m not the only one who does stuff like this, my friends and family make fun of me when we’re eating because i’m always switching different utensils between hands. Being ambidextrous is even worse sometimes than left handed, but they’re still similar enough that we both know the struggle is real 😂

[@grassytramtracks]

​@@lobuxracerserrated knives usually have the serrations to correct for the natural twist when you cut in the right hand, so you have a straight slice of bread, but in the left hand it goes with the natural twist and gives you a wonky cut

[@collinchang8940]

I have always learned to wear my watch on the left hand.

[@iamdarryl]

That’s what I grew up with . And I can’t remember why

[@Jay100.]

I used to wear my watches on my right wrist when I was a kid because I am left handed, but my mother reprimanded me and I got used to wearing watches on my left wrist now. I am trying to get used to using them on the right side again coz it’s more practical 😅

[@iamdarryl]

Oh snap. Why your mom forced you to wear on the left? I switch mine from time to time but everytime I put it on the right, I would mostly hit my watch.

[@fns.007]

Ayo Darryl Your content is really good Good quality plus informative U deserve 100k Atleast bro I hope you hit that mark this year

As a Lefty Thank You!

[@iamdarryl]

Yes sir!

[@Raymond0_0]

For the handy men out there like me should wear it in non dominant had to avoid damaging the watch

Facts 👆

[@Nicks.2259]

Im right handed but for some reason i feel uncomfortable wearing a watch on my left wrist so i wear it on my right

[@iamdarryl]

I feel the same thing. I’m lefty and feel uncomfortable wearing on my right

[@richieharn3301]

hahaha glad to know that I'm not alone

[@biasaigon7155]

Because your right wrist not small like your left then wear tighter

[@pardeepkumar1541]

​@@richieharn3301I too wear on my right wrist because my bicep there is a little bigger than left😅

I wear it on my right hand upside down. Just for grins and giggles.😊

I think a lot of people goes that way

[@darthvader3369]

I’m ambidextrous but I wear it on my left hand because it looks cooler IMO

[@iamdarryl]

Are you the OG Darth Vader!? I prefer on my left one too even though im lefty

[@grandbaycrawford9982]

Why not try taking the watch off before setting it so you don't look like an idiot 🙄 wear it on whatever wrist you like

[@edwinfernando11]

If you wear a smart watch, you’re constantly going for the crown so there’s more to it.

[@tristancreed]

Always the non-dominant hand. People normally use tools with a dominant hand. And doing so with a watch on isn't comfortable.

[@iamdarryl]

That's what I mentioned in the beginning of the video. But at the end, people will default to whatever the most comfortable

[@edwinfernando11]

You should make one on how to write as a lefty without smudging the whole page with ink lol.

[@iamdarryl]

Lmao. Im having a hard time doing that. If you find one let me know

[@channelsixtyeight068_]

I'm left handed, I was always going to wear a watch on my right wrist. Whenever I adjust watches, I prefer to hold them. One video pointed out the risk of damage to the crown when adjusting it whilst wearing the watch.

[@iamdarryl]

I do the same. It doesnt feel comfortable adjusting the crown while wearing it. Good info

[@Dukelikestonukeonbubes]

For the Casio f91w and friends, the right and only button is for 24 to 12 hour. You pick one and don't switch all the time lol. So only the left buttons need to be hit. If you wear a crowned watch though that would make sense. But then again, you don't operate the crown with wearing it, unless you're a fjcking caveman barbarian that wants to break the stem and get leaks and then talk trash on WatchuSeek lmao

[@charlesdarwinvarietv]

No watch since....😊

[@stylewithaltitude]

Non dominant hand for me. I need my dominant hand to put it on.

[@iamdarryl]

Makes sense. You right handed ?
