Ah. Good question. Not at all, Diana. I can do everything with my watch. And I carry mountains of hanging garments when I shop with clients and review closets. The face does move from side to side a little and over my wrist bone - and I love that movement. It's visually fluid and adds a modern touch to my outfits. But it's tight enough to not move around too much. Although I love the look of a very loose oversized watch, it's uncomfortable for my lifestyle.

i'm left handed; but i wear my watch on the left side. like you, i wear it above my wrist. i prefer it tight so that it does not move. i currently wear a metal band, but i wore it the same way when i wore a leather strap.

My hands can bend like yours and I do feel the watch there, but it can slide out of the way. BUT, I'm not "supposed" to be bending my wrist like that; I avoid it whenever I can. Do you find yourself needing to bend like that? I do if I'm doing push-ups or other exercise, but I take my watch off for workouts.

I bend my hand that way when I knit and when I do certain types of procedures in lab (although admittedly I do not bend it all the way back) and I can definitely feel the watch if it's too low.

I wear my primary watch just like you wear yours. I also have a bracelet watch that I wear loosely, like a bangle bracelet, and a tank style watch that I wear loosely too. The tank style watch is light enough that it isn't uncomfortable. Both the bracelet style and the tank style move around on my wrist and arm, but it doesn't bother me too much. What does bother me? I have a large, heavy men's style watch that I bought and that is sized loosely to sit low across my wrist. I hate it. It bangs the heck out of my wrist and is heavy and uncomfortable. I can't quite decide what to do with it, though. If I size it to wear it like you wear yours, it will take away some of the oversized borrowed men's watch vibe that I bought it for. If I don't do anything, then I won't wear it because it is that uncomfortable. sigh.

I normally wear watch to my left arm and bracelet to my right arm. Like you, I always prefer to wear it before my wrist. Either it is leather strapped fastrack watch or metal strapped Titan watch whatever it may be I wear it before my wrist always.

I'm right handed and I wear my watch on my left arm, pretty much on the wristbone and kept pretty snug. I can't stand watches or bracelets that move around, they drive me nuts. I do take it off when I'm working on my laptop because it'll clunk on the case, but usually only when I'm away from home - at home I've got a separate keyboard and mouse that have a smaller form factor so the watch isn't a problem.

I wear mine exactly like you do: a little high up on my wrist, snug, facing out, and on my right hand, even though I am right-handed. That's a habit I picked up when I got married. I didn't like my rings and watch on the same hand/wrist. It looked too busy to me, so I switched my watch to my right arm.

I wear my watch high also. Mostly because it slips up there... but also because the little knob pokes my the back of my hand and pains me when worn at the wrist... that little thing really hurts!

I'm a left-hander and wear my watch on the right hand for security and comfort reasons. A good article on the subject https://timepieceking.info/wha.....tch-go-on/

In my opinion it doesn't matter as long as you're comfortable.

Left wrist as I'm right handed and my first watch was a sun dial !

7 year old thread revived by new member…

Hah, unconsciously -but I wear it axactly like Angie- think could be a fit thing with the bigger weightier watches as her's and mine is?

I have not worn a watch for 6 years since I retired. Before that wore one very day on my wrist.

Intrigued by how many lefties put their watches on the right hand. I am a left-hander who doesn't make many modifications to our right-handed world and just does things "righty".

My watch is on my left hand, facing outward, and I virtually never leave it off. I often wear two watches: a big "boyfriend" style like Angie's (only silver) along with a tiny, dainty, diamond one that belonged to my late mother-in-law. I love the contrast.

I don't wear a watch now but when I did it was on my left wrist. I only wear bracelets on my left arm too. I'm right handed.

ahahaha how funny to see one of my 7 year old threads get resurrected!

For the record I don't think I have worn a watch since pre-COVID times. Maybe I should start again.
