    Just curious for those who still wear watches. Where do you wear it? Left or right wrist?

    I'm a rightie yet I wear my watch also on the right. I know that's not the norm but even when I was young that was how I wear watches. Now it feels odd if I try to wear one on my left wrist. I know the explanation that if you're a rightie, you wear it on your left wrist so it won't hit the table when you write. Or it will be more prone to scratches since your dominant hand is what you use tools with.

    Maybe I'm not the "norm" hehe

    What about you guys?

    Left and I am a righty, too. Saves you time when your right hand is busy.

    Wear it kung san ka comfortable. My man is right handed and wears his watch on his right wrist too. I wear mine on my left wrist.

    When inside the car, sometimes our watches bumps with each other. Kainis Haha

    I haven't tried adjusting watches while wearing them. Always remove it for easy access and more control.

    Analog or digital. Quartz or manual.

    Di ba mas madali if tanggalin na lang sa wrist?

    most of us will remove the watch from our wrist, in order to adjust it.
    she must really love that watch. ayaw nang tanggalin sa pulso.

    kung digital, no way one can adjust its time while on the wrist. it's designed not to be.

    I am right handed, which means for logic, I don't use my right brain...

    Many years ago, analog watch, on my left hand.

    With 12 on 3; 3 on 6; 6 on 9; and 9 on 12...

    Watch face, same side as my palm...

    - - - - -

    So when I read the time, I would raise my fist, palm side facing me...

    Weird (and imo, cool)but effective....

    But one event changed all of that....

    You must be holding a drink with your left hand and some VIPs asked for the time. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

    haha cute!

    I remember lang bigla, whenever I am having trouble doing something my man always offers help.. Pero observe nya muna ako then pagtatawanan. Haha (parang ginawa mo) then while he's doing it for me may lecture pa para alam ko na next time.

    Isn't he the sweetest?

    Yes we men do that, but women get it.
    Gf ko naman sobrang bait and naive, i know / feel first love nya ako. Kung tinuloy ko kalokohan ko siguro, baka matulad kay cathy (no offense cathy).

    If right handed, always on the left wrist. But, I've seen right handed folks putting it on the right.

    Left because I prefer classic wind-up or non-self-adjusting watches and the winding knob is on the right of the wqtch face. i can wind up the watch withoit taking it off.
