I'm a mess. I have always written left handed, but always paint right. I throw darts left handed, throw balls overarm left handed, but bowl in cricket or ten-pin bowling right. I play tennis right handed but play table tennis left. I'm not ambidextrous because I can't easily swap hands for each task; each task has a specific hand.
Unfortunate circumstances and a very nasty accident few years back severely damaged my right hand and wrist to such a degree that I was unable to use it for the best part of two years. In that time I pretty much managed to learn to go (mostly) fully left handed.
The only thing I could not swap, and never have been able to, is wearing my watch. It goes on my right wrist, always will do, in spite of any discomfort it induces...
Same here, I'm right handed but have always worn watches on my right wrist. I have an extra excuse because I only have peripheral vision in my left eye (detached retina), so it's always easier for me to focus on objects that are to my right.
I guess if you swap it would. However I've always worn on the right so it feels natural. When I wear on the left it geeks wrong and kinda like I'm unbalanced.
Always wore on the left until about 2 months ago, when I decided to wear on the right because I wanted to be able to admire my watches while driving :laugh:
I have always worn mine on my right wrist until I got my Breitling this week - it's so bloody heavy that I wear it on my left wrist so it's out of the way!!!
Similar story here. Mostly right handed for sports but left handed for eating, writing, etc.
Watch goes on my left,again, the Crown pointing at my hand feels right, plus the old adage of being able to work the crown without having to dislocate any appendages is a bonus....
Of course anyone wearing on the right with crown pointing to the elbow shouldn't be trusted. Its a well know secret indicator for those planning world domination. True fact.

Always left, but today a small strange rash has appeared on the side of my wrist, had to swap to the right, feels totally unbalanced & alien! Keep looking at the empty wrist to check the time too, on a positive Im ready for world domination..
