Does everybody here agree this is generally the case with righties? I ask because I'm right handed. I bat right, write with my right hand, use my right thumb on my phone, etc. I'm not a switch hitter or ambidextrous in any way. I'm full-on right side dominant. But, I wear my watch on my right hand and I use my left hand to steer.
Is this sort of thing common? Do the vast majority of right-handed people wear their watch on their left wrist? Or is it an untested assumption?
- 52-6F-62 7y agoInteresting. I'll chime in. I'm also right-dominant: right-handed writing, right-handed batting—but I'm left-handed hockey (though somewhat ambidextrous), and I am very comfortable steering with my left, but can really do either. Though I'm more comfortable steering with my left with my hand at the side of the wheel (9 o'clock) or at the bottom, under-handed (~7 o'clock). And I wear my watch on my left. I always thought that was common, but maybe more dogma than anything.
- jacobobryant 7y agoI think which wrist you wear your watch on is not (directly) related to handedness. I'm right-handed and started out wearing my watch on my right wrist since I was fairly young and didn't know that was uncommon. Many years later I tried switching to my left wrist. It felt weird at first, but it didn't take long to adjust. Now it feels weird to have it on my right wrist. (It's also nice to have it on my left wrist while I write etc).
