I don't usually wear one, but when I do, it's on my left wrist.

Yes, right arm.


I dunno, it feels so weird to have it on the left arm.

I had one, it broke. I had another, it broke. But when I did have one I wore it on my left.

Also: Donfuy, you're so weird. Right arm, wtf.

Also also: I also have a cellphone, and i still carried a watch. Not sure why, really.

Yes, right wrist. I run with it on. When it's on my left wrist, I feel like the watch is upside down or something. I also have very small wrists from being real skinny, so it's even a surprise that I can buy watches.

I was always under the impression that if you're right-handed you should wear it on your left hand, and vice versa, so it doesn't get damaged and all. At least, that was what I was taught when I was a wee little thing. So if that's the truth, statistically, people who wear it on their left arm would be "normal"?

Oh, that makes sense. I was always taught that the God of Time would murder me if I ever so much as brushed my watch against my right arm.

Guess it's all about different upbringings.

I feel like usually people who are right-handed wear their watch on their left wrist, and vice-versa.

I used to wear a watch, but I had to take it off every time I went to work so I didn't ruin it, and eventually just stopped wearing one. I do, however, wear a pocket watch if I'm wearing my vest.

After watching the matrix trilogy, I decided that it would be cool to wear 3 watches, one on my left, and two on my right, emulating that train bum who has about 50 on him.

I realised how lame it was pretty damn fast, and haven't worn a watch since.

Same.
Also same but I'm left-handed (well technically ambidextrous but slightly dominant left), so wouldn't I have been a normal person if I wore it on the right hand? Or do left-handed people wear it on the left too? I honestly don't know ._.

Right arm, and I'm right handed. Bonus: I also have my watch on 24-hour time (digital watch).
[16:24] <@golfkid> I'm pretty sure I will literally scream if I die on the last column of 78-4 at this point
[16:25] <trance> Oh, yeah. That level.
[16:29] <@golfkid> lol
[16:30] <@golfkid> It looks so simple
