This is why you should always wear your watch on your left wrist

Being on the less active wrist, the watch is less exposed to sudden movements, falls or impacts. This helps to better preserve its internal mechanisms and prolongs its service life.

3. Ease of setting or seeing the time

Analog watches usually have the crown (the button to adjust the time) located on the right side of the case. This means that, when worn on your left wrist, you can easily adjust the time with your right hand without removing the watch.

4. Inherited tradition of military watches

In the past, especially during wars, soldiers needed to check the time quickly while still using their weapon (usually in the right hand). Therefore, wearing the watch on the left became a practical rule.

5. Avoid excessive sweating
