because most people wear a watch on their left wrist.
I am right handed and wear my watch on my left wrist, however both my father and my daughter are left handed and also wear a watch on their left wrist.

sorry not to be any help by the way lol
I'm left-handed and wear a watch on my right wrist, but my daughter is right-handed and wears hers on her right wrist too. I always thought left-handers wore watches on the right, but evidently not. Must be just a matter of preference, but having said that I haven't noticed many other people wear watches on the right. Sorry, not a good answer i know, just more of a comment I suppose.
I'm right-handed, wear ma watch on ma right wrist and I stir ma tea anti-clockwise. When I used to go to the barbers to get ma hair cut, the barber would always go to put the shade on the left but I had to tell him ma shade was on the right.
it is socially accpted that MOST people wear it on ther left wrist.....

i guess its liek sayig he had a tatoo in his neck,,,,not everyone will have it, but it will narrow it down to a much smaller percentage.....

however from teh replaies so far it would seem taht most ab'ers wear there watches spazzy too....
It is simply because when all watches had a winder, the winder was positioned so the watch could be wound up by the right hand whilst worn on the left wrist - because the majority are right handed.

If such a wrist watch was worn on the right wrist, the winder would be on the 'wrong' side for winding.
It makes so much sense when you explain it Ethel ;-)
Ethel's explanation makes perfect sense to me
Ethel, you are so knowledgeable about everything. Are you Stephen Fry in disguise. I really do admire you - the biggest asset to AB ever.
