5. I'm right handed and wear it on my left hand.
In my younger years I wore it on my right hand, but the watch etiquette police took care of that!
I now wear it on my left wrist, on the back of the wrist, like a good American. People who wear it other ways, I think they're terrorists.

8. I'm lefthanded and wear it on my left arm
face up (like the peasants, so I can blend better).

But I keep banging the shit outta the watch, breaking them before their time ...
:cry:

12. Yes, they are terrorists and my oldest sister
is definitley a terrorist. I would think that wearing it backwards (face under wrist) would make it more uncomfortable to be twisting your arm around every time you want to know the time. But then she has always been "different." I understand most first born children are! :silly:

9. I don't wear a watch
There are clocks everywhere. I don't need one on my body.

11. I can't stand seeing someone wear their watch under their wrist
That is the dumbest looking thing ever.

Not that they shouldn't do it but it just look stupid IMHO

14. Native American lore
suggests that one should never envelope their left wrist with any adornment that encompasses it. They believed that it blocked the flow to the heart.

I personally am timeless. . . hurrrrumphhhhh

15. Varies
Edited on Mon Sep-27-04 12:44 PM by Ready4Change
I try to keep it on top of my wrist, but the current band slips, and watch rotates to the bottom of my wrist.

However, I dream of someone making a watch that is U shaped, so that it stays on the SIDE of the wrist, and with the face angled, or rotatable, so that I can check the time without having to rotate my hand inward (when the watch is ontop of the wrist) or outward (when the watch is under the wrist.)
