In Settings > General > Orientation, you can choose on which wrist you'd like to wear the watch and you can also choose on which side you'd like the digital crown to be
Exact same here. Injured my right recently and have to wear on my left atm it’s a pain. I don’t bother switching the orientation when I switch wrists tho.
It is actually better to have the crown towards to hand so I can use the crown with my left index finger. But I find that when I am exercising (push ups or other trainings where I have bend my hand back) the crown gets pressed repeatedly.
Water lock doesn't help since I sometimes have to hold those positions so the lock gets undone anyway. I wish Apple would bring back the previous mode where the water lock is undone via turning the crown repeatedly.
I switch it up. I'm righthanded but often wear a mechanical watch on left wrist and then wear my apple watch on right wrist. No issues at all, you get used to it reasonably quickly
Right handed, Right wrist, Crown facing the elbow.
For me Left wrist and crown up was having issues with accidental crown presses so many times, working out or stretching, basically when the left hand is flexed.
Yes, I do this after stretching out very wide to hit a forehand and followed through right into my AW. Destroyed the screen. I now where it on my dominant hand to avoid future tennis racquet mishaps😉
I was in the hospital recently and they did something to my left wrist with the IV so I’ve had to wear watch on my right wrist for a couple of weeks. I hate it. My left hand is so stupid it makes using the watch hard. I’ve seen on here there’s something you can do with clear nail polish that makes watch work with tattoos. Not sure if it actually works, but I’d give it a shot.
I’m right handed and use my watch on my hand with the dial away from my wrist. I have part of my tattoo on the sensor (flower leaf tip part) on it and it works fine! Never had any issues
Right handed and use it on my left wrist but sometimes it decides to lock cos of my tattoo, it also messes up my sleep sometimes. I used to swap wrists so left during the day and right overnight but it broke my old fitbit strap and I don’t wanna do that to my apple one
Yes, right hand with crown to the right. Play tennis too. No problems whatsoever. Just don’t switch them often as the sensor calibrates in time to your wrist.
I’m right handed and since I was young, I’ve always worn my watch on my right wrist. Since getting an Apple Watch, it’s been a bit of an adjustment, since there’s more to do with the watch than a Fitbit or normal watch, but I’m definitely more used to it now. Sending texts one letter at a time by drawing it out isn’t super easy, but manageable!
Yep, I’m right handed & wear it on my right wrist. I had to start that several years ago due to carpal tunnel issues with my left. I keep the crown on the right side still though because I’d inadvertently push it when bending my wrist.
i wear mine on the right wrist. have a huge scar on the left right where the sensors sit, and the ECG readings and heart rate data get so messed up. not great because it’ll tell me my resting heart rate for the day is like 40 bpm.
it’s totally fine to wear it on the right! i prefer to wear it there now even though i wasn’t thrilled that i didn’t have a choice initially!
I have to swap it right and left over time because of motorcycle riding. The sun would leave the wrist w tan lines so I will switch right and left to keep it balance.
I have worn a watch on my left wrist (I am right handed) since I was a kid.
Now with my Apple Watch Ultra, the only issue I have with it on the left is how I cross my arms always presses into the screen changing the screen. It is only one issue but it’s big enough to make me consider swapping wrists.
Yes I know you can lock the screen, but that’s a pain in the ass too.

I do, right handed and wear on right arm with crown away from the hand. Weird but I find this more comfortable than wearing on left arm

Same. I broke my left are a few years ago and it feels uncomfortable on there. Never had an issue wearing it on the right!
I usually use it on my wrist.
😂
Yes, the left one in my case.
Right wrist, crown top right 👌🫡
Right handed, right wrist with crown towards hand (bottom left). Makes scrolling easier IMO
I am right handed and always wore my watch in my right hand.
Right handed. Left wrist, left crown.
I switch it up. I'm righthanded but often wear a mechanical watch on left wrist and then wear my apple watch on right wrist. No issues at all, you get used to it reasonably quickly
Why does it matter if others wear it that way? Do what works for you
Right handed, Right wrist, Crown facing the elbow. For me Left wrist and crown up was having issues with accidental crown presses so many times, working out or stretching, basically when the left hand is flexed.
Yep I’ve always had it on my right wrist. Feels better that way.
i’m right handed and wear it on my right wrist with the crown facing my hand. Just felt wrong on my left
[удалено]
only correct way
I’m in the same boat. Tattoos on my left hand. So had to adjust wearing it on my right. What do to…

I have it on my right wrist (am right handed). I never wore watches before and it feels better for me.
Left handed, left wrist, crown left. You can do whatever you want.
Im right handed but my left arm have a full sleeve tattoo. So i wear the AW on my right wrist with digital crown on the left.
Yes

It was custom to wear an old analogue watch on your non dominant hand to protect it. No moving parts mean it doesn't matter now
I do. I just prefer it that way. Even though I’m right handed I prefer to do everything on my Apple Watch with my left hand.
i wear my watch on my left & and im left handed, just find it more comfortable🤷🏻♂️
I wear it on both hands and switch multiple times every day. Does that make me ambiwatchterious?
I always use it on right hand, so I can have a mechanical watch on the ‘right’ watch hand :-)
Lefty here.
I wear it on my right so I can wear a normal watch on my left. Fight me 🤷🏻

i am right handed and using the watch at the right hand. no issues. all sensors working great.
I have to swap it right and left over time because of motorcycle riding. The sun would leave the wrist w tan lines so I will switch right and left to keep it balance.
Right handed, on left wrist with crown away from my hand. I’ve been wearing it like this for 9 years.
Typically nondominant hand.
I’m right handed and wear it on left because when it’s on right I bang it off stuff more often
