> I know many tech industry people wear watches while they work, but I have never heard a discussion of this condition.

I regularly (one day out of every two?) wear a relatively heavy mechanical watch while working. 127 grams I think. I don't have more issues to my left hand than my right hand has ; )



You wear your watch on your right hand?

Are you left handed? I guess that might be significant for RSI type injuries


I wear my watches on either hand, depends on what the mood takes me. I've never understood why I should always wear it on the left hand just because I am right handed - my grandfather would balk at such a thing :D is it just because using the same hand you wear your watch on for everything might make it more likely to bash something with it?

(shrug)


I also wear my watches on my right hand, and I’m ambidextrous. Use keyboard and mouse as right handed people, but write with left.

Both of my hands are as healthy as it gets.


I wear my watch on my right hand, I’m ambidextrous. It’s always the side that’s felt proper, even though I write right-handed.
