I wear watch on my left hand. While wearing watch I remove my bangles put them also on the right hand and then wear watch on my left hand. I see some people wearing watch on right hand. Since we use right hand more, I feel by wearing watch on right hand, it will get scratched here and there. What about you? Do you wear watch and in which hand do you wear?

Hi Buchi, I don't wear any bangle on both my hands. I'm happy that I could put on my watch on either hand. I still prefer to wear it on my left hand most of the time. Yeah, when going to work for I'm a right handed. If wearing watch on the right hand I would feel rather inconvenient to write with my pen as the watch band would block the movement of my right hand
When browsing in the shopping mall or having other outdoor activities I then would put the watch on my right wrist. watching time on the watch is more convenient than getting know from the cell phone screen. The letterform of my cell phone is rather small and I could hardly see the time displayed on the screen clearly, especially when the light of it has turned off automatically
Happy posting

My hands are rather skinny so it is not beauty to put on any bangles. Moreover I feel uncomfortable to have something on my wrists. I just like wearing watch. So that I can get the time easily. Anyway I enjoy watching people with chubby wrist with attractive bangles on their hands.
I have three gold bangles in different designs keeping the bank safe. Two of them are gifts from my mom and mother in law respectively. Another one is from my good friends. I received it in my 21th birthday party long ago
Thanks for sharing the beautiful glass bangles image in the attached photo my dear. Wow, they look respective beautiful in their different colors and designs! I wonder whether they are all your properties! I have seen my friends wearing the number of glass bangles on both hands. They pick the appropriate color of bangles which match their sarees
Happy posting!

Why not you wear one or two bangles ikbooi, it will enhance our hand's beauty. I wear two gold bangles in each of my hands. While going out I wear all the four bangles in my right hand and watch on the left hand. While going for functions, I wear glass bangles along with gold bangles in the right hand and then wear watch on the left hand. Have you seen glass bangles with lot of colours? We can wear matching bangles to our dress. After saree and food now it is turn for glass bangles. All I am sending through Mylot. Mylot, thank you for sending this to my Mylot friend.

I wear it on my right hand. I have made it as a habit to wear it on the right hand since from childhood days. I wear it only when I am going out of the house, so no chances of getting scratches.Looking at me, my 3 yr old son also likes to wear it on his right hand.

I do not wear my watch when I am around the house, but when I go out I always put a watch on. I can not seem to go any place without a watch, I feel like I am missing something. I wear my watch on my left hand.

Hi buchi!
I wear watch everyday at work or every time i will go somewhere. I normally place it on my left hand because i'm right handed. I don't like it to get any scratches, I feel really bad if it does happen.LOL. I can't go out with out it with me, if my watch doesn't match the dress I wear I simply put it inside my bag. Happy mylotting.

I got my watch when I joined for work. I think here after, when the child is born, along with lactodex, we have to buy watch for the kid. But one thing. They will learn to see the time soon and also the numbers. Your children are too smart I say. Feel like seeing them and petting them. Take care of them and take care of yourself too as your health is important for the family's welfare. God Bless you my child.

I had a watch for about 10 years that I bought at Zellers, and it finally quit in late July, so I bought a new one. I found a nice one that I liked in the Sears catalogue, so I bought that one. I ordered it on line through the Airmiles site, and got 5 x the points, because of the day I bought it. :)

Hi Buchi_bulla,
I too wear watch on my left hand. When I started to wear a watch I used to wear the same in my right hand but then I felt uncomfortable and changed to the left hand. Now I am used with the same and wearing regularly to my office. I do wear only one bangle that is in my right hand and when I am at home I am happy to free my hands, means no bangles, no watch, no rings etc.

My parents were very strict. Hence I had to wear bangles and could not remove at home. But now my husband does not say anything. But I feel somewhat to remove it. So at home I wear two two bangles in each hand. While going out, I remove the left hand bangles and put it to the right hand and watch on the left hand.

I wear watch on my left wrist while the bangles and bracelets is on the right wrist. Sometimes i forgot to wear my watch but I have a cellphone then I watch the time on there. Then, I also have pocket watch where i could put it on my purse or pants pocket and just pull it whenever i like to know the time of the day.

I wear one on the right wrist. It used to be on the left but I changed it when I got some irritation. I have to have a watch otherwise I am behind schedule in my tasks. My husband who does not wear one keeps on asking me for the time. Often, just to tease him I answer, "It's time to buy your own watch".

I also wear it on my left hand because I am right-handed. I used to wear it on my right but I prefer to wear it on my left now because it keeps getting in my way sometimes. I also don't leave home without it because whenever I forgot, my left hand feels so light and I keep on looking at it everytime as if my watch is there. I always go home late, that's why too LOL.

Very true. When a person starts earning, watch is the first thing he buys and then comes good shoes. It is our first requirement.

I wear bracelet watches because I hate the feel of something tight against my skin. I wear it on my left hand as well, because like you, I feel like if I was to wear it on my right hand it would just be banged and scratched. I didn't start wearing a watch till a couple months ago when I got a job- its very helpful to time my meetings with clients.

I have the habit of looking at the watch every now-and-then. Hence I definitely need the watch when I am going out. At home many wall clocks are there. So there is no need for me to wear the watch.

Hello Buchi_bulla. I wear my watch when I go to work, but not when I stay home. I am used to having a look at my watch for the time when I stay teaching in class. I don't take my cell phones to the classrooms because it bothers me when the cell phone rings. I don't like to be bothered in class by the ringing of the phone. Out of this reason, I wear my watch when I teach in class. I am only used to wearing it on my left hand. Take care, friend.

I know, you have to keep a watch on the time while teaching. Even I will not wear watch at home. Wall clocks are there everywhere and I feel watch is extra fitting on me.

Most people I know wear their watch on the less dominant arm. Being right handed, I wear my watch on my left arm. That way when I'm busy using my right hand, I can still easily see what time it is. My left handed friend wears her on her right arm mainly for the same reason.

I have a watch but I hardly wear it. I only wear it when I go somewhere like church or somewhere where there may not be a clock. But I mostly use my cell phone for the time when I'm out. At home I have plenty of clocks in the house so I don't really need a watch at home. When I wear one, I wear it on my left hand.

When we do not have, we have a fascination for any item. When we possess, we take it for granted. When TV came newly to India, I use to feel how lucky people are to have a TV set at home and can watch movies, songs etc. at home sitting on the cot munching potato chips. But now I have two TV sets and I hardly watch TV.
