Watches

[POSITIVEPERSON]

Last nite I was watching CSI and they said if your right handed you wear your watch
on the left hand. I was never comfortable wearing my watch on my left hand and always wore it on my right hand even thou I am right handed.

How many other pple how felt this way? And do you think its because of the type of
epilepsy you have?

You are truly the exception to the rule.

I think it is a generalization and likely has to do with the dominant hand being the more coordinated one to latch/close the strap.

[POSITIVEPERSON]

But my dominant hand is my right hand. I am right handed,they said you put your watch
on your left hand. BUt I was never comfortable with my watch on my left hand. Just like in yoga it was very hard to be balanced on both sides for me,when doing certain poses.I always perfer one leg over another.

Right, that's why I said you were the exception.

Sorry but I too am right-handed. I tend to follow the trend of wearing my watch on my left hand. Mainly because I can adjust the time (if needed) easier. But I can write a little bit with my left hand. It just takes me longer.

I am mainly right handed, but I try to learn how to do everything with either hand. My golf clubs are right handed clubs, but I have a left handed pitching wedge to get me out of trouble sometimes. I also taught myself to shoot pool with either hand to avoid awkward stances or mechanical bridges. I have always wondered how that affects my brain.

I write, and eat with my left hand, but do just about everything else with my right. When I play baseball, I throw with my right, and bat right handed. I play drums, but play more left handed than I do right.

I'm right-handed, and put my watch on my left wrist.

BUT...when I use a sledgehammer, I go left-handed for some reason ....maybe I'm just ODD !

I remember as a child, my brother wrote with left hand and threw a ball with his right. It seemed that this made for one eye being stronger and caused him a lot of problems in school. My mom found a specialist and she helped him with therapy. He went from failing in school to being an A/B student. I am sure that how one side of the brain interacts is affected by hand-eye dominance.

I personally wear my watch on my left and am right handed. Yet I have children that won't wear watches at all... they use the clock on their cell phones. Now what does that say about them?... too connected I guess.

Ahaaaa.....Robin, you've rang another bell for me.

When I used to play darts, I would throw with the right hand, but line up the dart with the left eye.

Now that I'm wearing glasses, my left eye comes up as being stronger on the eye-tests

There was a specific name for this, and it was corrected through a series of eye-hand games.

I love hearing bells ring, don't you?

It obviously involved the brain significantly if he went from failing in school to doing rather well.

What? No more dart throwing for you?

Nah, I gave up darts a while ago (when I found clubbing in my late teens).

I was actually in a dart's team - no good at it, but had a few laughs so that's all that matters I guess.

I am left handed, with exceptions to sports. I play all sports as if I was right handed. But I eat and write left handed. I wear my watch on my left wrist. I've tried wearing it on my right but it feels weird.
