Show off your Apple Watch

As a leftie, I grew up not knowing we were "supposed" to wear watches on our right hands. I think I'll try it out on the right hand at first but I'll probably switch anyways. My left wrist feels much stronger for holding a watch. And good luck; my thoughts and prayers are with you!

Thanks for the positive thoughts sent my way. :)
Yeah, as I mentioned before, it is really a matter of preference. I grew up with people telling me how I was supposed to do things for being left handed and getting in to big debates on where to wear a watch, bracelets and rings. I was even told my wedding rings should be worn on the right since I'm left handed although I am ambidextrous really but my strong hand has always been the left, even when I get chemo although for some it may be uncomfortable I always get it on the left no matter what. Again is a matter of preference and you don't have to do things how people want you to. I find it best to be yourself and do and wear things your way. Your life, your choices! :D

Maybe it's just me, but as a lefty, I still thinks it pretty strange to even consider to wear a watch on your right wrist. I always felt like the left is the right one (eh, see what I did there?).
On a "normal/dumb" watch, it makes much more sense to have the crown pointing out towards your fingers. So, as a lefty, my Apple Watch is going to take place on the left wrist.

Sold a 42mm Space Gray Sport and bought a 42mm SS Black Classic Buckle.

I think the main reason why I chose to use my right hand was because whenever I put a watch on my left hand, or bracelet, I get irritated by it while writing with my left hand. Just the simple task of resting my wrist while writing would be uncomfortable and I would always take them off while writing. I never even had a thought of putting mine on my left hand for that reason. And I have the crown facing my fingers as well!

The steering wheel pic has become somewhat of a "thing"...I personally love seeing what everyone drives!

I figured that was the case, but wanted to make sure. I'm with you! I'm curious as well. I'd also like to see a pic of what "the office" looks like for the majority of us at work reading these at our desk. Haha

Yeah. I know that but I respectfully disagree. I think it's conveniently a matter of preference and whatever makes you feel more comfortable.
I'm ambidextrous anyway so it doesn't really affect me in which wrist do I wear any of my wearables or the position of the crown for that matter, but my preference is left always.
However, I had just had chemo on Friday and coincidentally the needle was placed on my left wrist which is where I usually wear my watch, wedding rings, etc.
As you can see on my photo, I'm wearing both sport watches. My Polar which is usually the one I wear during my hikes up the Manitou Incline on my right hand, and having been sore from my vein's burning sensation from the chemo, I decided to wear my AW on the right wrist with the inverted crown. Here's a photo that shows me getting chemo on my left as you can see and a couple more of where I wear my Apple Watch given the case that I don't have bruises from the biweekly chemotherapy infusions I get for Leukemia and Systemic Lupus. :)

I agree with Royksop, you really are beautiful with a beautiful spirit. Best of luck with your chemo and with life.

Will say I have tried to wear my watches on the right hand but for some reason I can't do it. My Pebbles all went on my left hand and even though I am a lefty as well ... I still feel more natural having it on my left.

I know this isn't mine, but I've posted mine a few times in this thread. Had my edition try on at the Fasion Show Mall in Vegas. Yellow gold with black classic buckle. Super nice if you ask me.
