I wear a watch whenever I go out. I’ve never understood why anyone would want to go through the bother of looking at a cellphone, when one’s wrist is so quick and convenient.
I’m right handed and wear my watch on the left wrist. I find it much easier to check the time when it’s not on the wrist of my dominant hand which will most likely be busy
The father of one of my friends was an ex fighter pilot. He flew various aircraft in WWII, Korea, and Viet Nam. He was right handed and would like to have worn his watch on his left wrist, facing away from the palm like anyone else. But in certain rapid areal maneuvers, the crystal of the watch would get broken against the side of the cockpit. So he wore the watch on his right wrist, palm side.
