Most watch dials and buttons are more user friendly for wearing on the left wrist and usign your right hand for buttons, winding, setting, etc. Not sure why, best guess is that watch makers realized more people wore them on the left. As to the reason its on teh left, I would say because more people are right handed.

I think the reason it started on the left is because most people are right handed. It is harder to wear a watch on your right hand if you are right handed because the watch gets in the way when you write and gets uncomfortable. I have seen some people wear their watches on their right. I guess maybe they are left handed?

I think it's because before we got batteries in our watches we had to wind them up and the button is on the right side of the watch.
