left handed but have always worn my
Watches on my left wrist (back when I wore them). Now I wear my Apple Watch on my left hand as well. It makes scribble much harder to use but I tried wearing it on my right wrist a couple of time and it just felt odd.

I’m curious to see if others do the same.

I’m Right-hand dominant, and I always wear my Watches on my right wrist.

I am right-hand user but I swap from one wrist to another pretty frequently, mainly because it is too much to wear on one wrist for extensive period.
 
Lefty here.

Always wore my watch on my left wrist as well.

Just something we have to deal with. So glad my daughter turned out right handed. For a while there she was doing everything with her left.

Didn't want her to have to deal with all the lefty problems!
 
Right handed but wear watch on left wrist with digital crown facing left to avoid buttons being pressed when doing exercises (press ups etc) or high giving people.
 
I'm a lefty. I don't currently wear a watch but I used to wear them on my right wrist. It'd be no different if I wore an Apple Watch today.

I actually started wearing watches on my left wrist when I was a kid because that's what everyone else did (because they were righties). I switched to wearing it my right wrist some time when I was still in school because it was more comfortable to write that way. It stuck as I got older but it wouldn't be a big deal for me to wear on Apple Watch on my left wrist if it turned out to be easier to use that way (I can somewhat write with my right hand so that wouldn't be an issue).
 
I am a weird lefty..

Write left handed, shoot pistols left handed and wear watches on left wrist. However, I shoot rifles right handed and kick with my right foot.. LOL

Lol, I am the same but opposite hand.

Exact same thing here.

Yep, I do that too.
 
Since I’m ambidextrous, I typically wear on either wrist.
Jealous.

Heavily right hand/leg dominate and wear the watch on the left arm.

I find it very cool to be just as good with both arms but then again, I am easy to impress. I pitched for about 20 years to a fairly high level including college and beyond and have seen this only once a twice ever.

The only thing I do with the left side is I jump off my left leg and can’t even make legible print with my left hand. Useless info I know.
 
On the hand that I don’t use that much when I’m working less chance of it getting damaged. I guess it doesn’t matter if you don’t do anything all day other than typing
