Can I get a lefthanded watch?

Asked by MeetinSandwich (10points) October 30th, 2010

My right eye is lazy so I wear my watch on my left wrist. I keep the dial the right way up; then the winder rubs on the bone in my wrist, and has raised a nasty scab in the skin.
I want to get the winder on the other side, but with everything else, including the day-date indicator, the same. Any chances?

Try lefthandedwatches.com. I bet you can find one there.

You can go to The Leftorium.

Most left handed watches are labeled “lefty” or “left”, so searching it on Amazon will bring up some.

Most people wear watches on their left wrists so that, being right-handed, they don’t crack the crystal on their most active wrist. Sounds like a different style of watch (without a stem) might work better for your particular needs. Otherwise, the stem (winder) is simply going to stab your arm instead of your wrist.

@Kayak8 not if you get a “left handed” watch it won’t. That’s the whole point of this question. He does not want to get stabbed.

It seems the OP does not understand that right handed people typically wear their watch on their left, but indeed he wants a left-handed watch, typically worn on the right arm, to wear on his left. At least that is how it seems to me.

Get a watch the clips onto the belt loop, so much better than on wrist, never catches sleeves, hair, you never worry about sctaching or breaking a cystal, and I can stick my hands anywhere without worrying the watch will get damaged.

Put your watch on the other wrist. I am left-handed and wear my watch on my right wrist. The stem points towards my shoulder/arm not the hand. You might have to turn your head more to see it. But that would be the quickest way to solve your problem.
Or a cool pocket watch…they are cool because you have to take the time to check the time.
JMO, hope you find what your needing.
