What Wearing a Watch Left Handed Says About You | Watchfinder & Co.

- Since the dawn of time, there have been a select few who have been singled out as different. To narrow that down a bit, I mean, in this case at least, people who are left-handed. These are folk who make up just a fraction of the human race yet are the culprits behind one of the watch community’s biggest faux-pas: wearing a watch on the right-although many would say wrong-wrist. Who are these left-handed people, and why are they here? Are they wrong? Let’s find out.

This channel is like 50% about watches, the other 50% are just general education and I love it.
This is the most literate and measured rant ever, with a calm steady voice
Imthink you just described the entire ethos of the channel
This guy can talk for an hour about cow dung and I will love every second of it!
As a left handed person that wears my watch on my right wrist, I feel personally attacked by the intro lol
i gave up and wore my speedmaster on my left hand so it's easier to wind it
@@Hamburgerdad So i bought Speedmaster Automatic.
If if makes you feel any better, I'm right handed and still wear my watch on my right wrist
So why are you here?
@@Hamburgerdad Just wind it before you put it on in the morning?? Who winds their watch after putting it on?
"Who are these left handed people...and why are they here?" LOL
Genetic mutation. It’s sub-optimal but does give an advantage in violent societies as most people are used to facing right handed opponents in combat.
@@sensational_cellar8606 how is it genetic mutation? Left handed people have existed since the genesis of humans.
@@Mar.1634 because humans are best set up to be right-handed as that’s what’s most efficient for our brain structure, the brain being 84% of the genome. Special circumstances can lead to left handed-ness becoming an advantage so this variation can be selected genetically.

I, as a lefty myself, always wear watches on the left hand. I probably was taught to do so by my father. The interesting thing is that now I can't imagine it being different. Even just thinking about having a watch I place it mentally on my left hand.
I used to wear my watches on which ever wrist I wanted to at the time, now always on the right wrist.
Same....
Same for me a watch feels more comfortable on my left even if i wanted to wear a watch on my right hand it feels unnatural
I am left handed and now wear all my watches on my right wrist. I wrecked some decent watches when I wore them on the hand I always stick into things, so I changed and it's become habit. We lefties adjust to many things this way. It's life.
In Italy we have an additional reason to wear watches on the right wrist. It’s in order to avoid to be stolen when you are driving in the city with open window!
I didn't expect to learn so much this morning.
I love this channel. As entertaining as it is educational
as a left-hander myself, I came here looking to learn about a watch for me but got a lecture on left-handedness instead...
I'm right handed and I get this watch after a lifetime of winding crowns jabbing me in the back of the hand.
Oh hell yes!!! Sir I feel your pain!! I hate it. I'm a big guy and so....big watches. So I actually have a small callus where I've been getting jabbed for decades. Never thought about buying a left handed watch..... until now!!! Awww I see a break in the rain....finally.
“Get a grip on things... at least, physically” 😂
Mid-roll ads really kill the buzz of these beautiful videos.
Let me introduce you to Vanced UA-cam and ublock origin extension. I understand it maybe unfair to creators, but ads are just too many.
Pay for premium.
Get premium cheap ass... I haven't watched a single ad in yrs and creators still get supported. Well worth it

@@BabyJesus66 Your father is going to be very upset at you! :)
Would love you to do a follow up on the best left handed watches ......new and old
Same! I was really hoping for some left-handed watch recommendations!
On the contrary, I think it makes more sense to put the crown by your arm. That way you don't stab your hand when you bend your wrist too tightly.
how low are you wearing your watch?
@@snh4228 Not purposely low, just happens sometimes.
I absolutely agree. It's sad when there's a watch I love, but the crown digs into my hand. I don't have a prominent wrist bone so watches move down to my hand.
7:13 was hysterically funny. I was not expecting that form the professional and formal tone of his videos.
Great job!
How did I miss that? Thanks. This is my favorite channel, for watches anyway.
Unfortunately because the Bible says Lucifer was the left hand of God everyone that is Left-Handed was beaten into submission to use the right hand or they were burned alive aren't humans fun
Great discussion - thank you for the wonderful content, not to mention this beautiful sandwich dial Panerai!
These videos have the most amazing lighting. It’s like every shot captures that moment when you look at your watch with just the right lighting, bringing all the best qualities out of it.
Interesting piece. Regards.
Best silly quote from this channel yet: "Who are these left-handed people, and why are they here?" 😆
I'm right handed, I don't mind wearing it this way keeps me from bumping the crown on objects.
"Don't judge others for being different" - says it all.
You say different, us lefties say superior...is what it is!
Damned right 👍
Minion right handed fowls.
I just love how the numerals and markers are cut out rather than applied/painted on.
The Hamilton Air Race does that very well too:)
Not to mention how they look when lit up! Very sharp indeed...
Brilliant video, As a very left handed person, thank you! Regarding the linguistic bit, Sinister is derived from the Latin for Left.
Left handed here and wear LHD pelagos on the left ! Go figure lol
A big THANK YOU!!! for remember us.
Bring more lefty watches please!!!!
MEGA LIKE!!!!!
HERETIC!
As a lefty, my Granddad taught me that wearing a watch on my left hand would guarantee that it would get damaged. Btw, I learnt more about being left-handed on this video than from any other source in my life, thanks.
Pani’s get a bad rap. Their watches are absolute icons of design language and unique branding. Great video.
I am a Gammy hander and proud of it can’t wear my watch on my right hand feels wrong . Teachers in the 60,s treated me shockingly because I couldn’t write with an ink pen and couldn’t use scissors . They hit my hands with wooden rulers . Update (07/06/23)i have been wearing my watches on my right hand for a few months , feels good
I am a lefty and got held back in kindergarten because they wanted to switch me to right... Didn't work... I'm lefty af.
I got my hands swatted with a ruler in school too. Luckily, my parents took me out of her class when I finally told what was happening. I’m horribly left handed. I played baseball as a young girl and threw with my left hand and caught with my left hand. I was super quick taking my glove off and on. My left arm is thinner and more muscular than my right arm. I’m having to work out my right hand and arm, as they are weaker. 🤷🏻♀️
Whoever smelt it dealt it. Classic. Absolutely classic.
Love how I learn about watch related topics and non-watch related topics with your videos. You managed to captivate us with barely any mention of a watch. BRAVO!!!
Watchfinder and Bark & Jack upload videos at the same time, what sorcery is this?
who is bark and jack?
@@BobbyDazzler888 ...my dad.
I think they agree on it.
Very powerful speech...
I think it's the first time you've presented a watch without actually having to talk about the watch... Very powerful! I like it
Living in hope that Panerai will one day bring out a watch with a full sized seconds hand🙄
Crown on left side of the case of the watches less obstructive for the back of the palm on my thin wrist.
I wear watches on my left wrist, and find "left-handed" watches to be IMMENSELY more comfortable. I wish there were more of them to choose from.
I'm left-handed and wear my watch on the left. I am somewhat ambidextrous though, so maybe that's why.
I feel like all of us Lefty's are somewhat ambidextrous like if I'm using something that is commonly made specifically for right handed, I've just grew up always using it right handed as well. Other than writing itself, if there is no reason for me to only do something with one hand or the other I usually switch back and forth
Great video, thank you, Watchfinder
The best, most intuitive video you have put out so far, I,m kinda in a state of shock, well done, I had completely underestimated you !
You sir, are on another level 👏
Best channel by far !
You should have an award sir, brilliant story teller! And the production, its on another level just like always 👌👌
With watches with large dimensions it is better to have the crown on the opposite side of the wrist
Came for the watch and stayed for the deep dive on my lefthanded self.
Im a right handed but i love to wear it on the right side. It's just feels so right. This is an exceptional watch with the lovely caseback. New panerai don't produce much caseback anymore, probably save them some cost.
I was kinda hoping to hear the rationale for the beautiful, if a little overwhelming Panerai having its crown opposite most others. Something to do with Italian submarines, maybe?
I remember when Panerai relaunched after it went corporate they were using off the shelf Unitas 6497 movements which were selling for under $100. It’s a big, fun watch but I couldn’t justify the markup and lack of sophistication just on heritage and cosmetics alone. I do love the look though.
Yep, should’ve stayed as a mid-level watch, not an in-house Rolex-money contender. I’ve had two in-house Panerai and they aren’t special for the price.
I just don't get Panerai, from Brooklyn Bridge to this one.
This is the perfect Panerai to wear on the left wrist IMHO
I'm a lefty (for writing, throwing, bowling, etc. -- but bat right in baseball, use right handed mouse and scissors)...but I wear my watch on my left wrist. It's way more comfortable on my dominant hand.
Funny thing is I like to wear my watches with the crown pointing towards my arms, that is wrong-handed. I'd buy one of these so-called left-handed watches just to wear on my left wrist. I really don't like the crowns to dig into the back of my hand, so this is the perfect solution. Anyone with me on this?
I didn't realize that being left eye dominant was only 30%. I'm cross dominant with my hand and eye, so when I briefly was on an air rifle team I had to choose between awkward head placement or using my non dominant eye to shoot.
I’m left handed and so I wear my watch on my right wrist. But when I bought my Luminor, I bought a standard one. Like this, I feel more confortable when I make motions with my wrist.
I'm righthand, but wear wristwatch on my right hand.
I’m watching this video with my watch on my right wrist.
Thnk you very much for this vid i am a left handed person and it so hard to wear watch in my left hand and it often damage due to my nature of work. If i change it to right the buttons of my watch is on the opposite side uts so hard🤦.
This Panerai is pretty well finished.
I was on earphones. Bless my ears.
Did i just get jumpscared on the most chill channel on all of youtube?
Bumped into The Breguet Classique Chronométrie 7727 today.
Once no longer mesmerised by a small hand speeding round and round, I wondered how it would be represented by you.
Always on the lookout for right-hand versions!
7:16 I WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT AT ALL 😂😂😂 OH MY GOD😂😂
"Who are these degenerates? And why are they here?" Couldn't help but hear that from him knowing how snarky he is.

Chemistry, Biology, Theology.. I can’t fathom how he manages to amalgamate so many concepts in one story.. Absolutely amazing..
I completely understand why some left handed people choose to wear their watch on their dominant hand but it still bothers me badly when right handed people wear their watch on their dominant hand
Is it weird that I'm right handed and wear my watch on my right aswell.
I’m right handed and wear my watches on my right hand including a Pelagos LHD
Came for a video on Panerai, stayed for a biological statistics classed! Love Watchfinder
What does it mean if you wear watches on both wrists
7:18 - jumpscare (a rather unusual occurrence in Watchfinder's videos)
It got me 😂
I'm left eyed, which causes a bit of trouble with cameras. Plus I'm right handed ambidextrous and always wear the watch on the right arm.
Mate, you’re a lunatic. You’re out absurding Vsauce. I don’t know what it is but I like it.
Great video 👍🏻
Right handed. Tried wearing the watch on my left wrist and always felt awkward. I wear it where I like, on my right wrist.
Brilliant, per usual.
If only zoom classes can just showcase a luxury watch while blabbering about cosmology.
Left handed person here, can confirm I don’t know why I’m here.
I used to wear my watches on my right wrist until my early 20s, despite being right handed, but I also only ever wore digital watches until last fall.
Right handed - shoots rifle left originally played guitar left - drums right but migrating to open (both) and in horo news Graham also knock out a few left handers
Destro (Lefty).
What’s so special?
Limited avail?
Any history, or special mvmt, special material besides that?
War does not determine who is right, only who is left.
Lefty gang WYA
i'm here!!!
A little side note about the language of left and right. In the Latin language, Right is Dexter, and Left is Sinister - maybe we, left handed people were thought of as evil back when the latin language was prevalent as well :)
I am right handed and, therefore, wear a watch on my left wrist. Nonetheless, I also have a "destro" watch. There are advantages, particularly with dive watches, as the crown is now shielded by the forearm rather than being exposed on the end of the wrist. That said, I play cricket, golf and guitar with a left hander's grip, so maybe I am walking the line of switching.
Exactly, and I think that's the reason Panari made this watch. FWIW, I have no problems winding my Speedmaster Sapphire Sandwich on my right wrist (if needed) with my left hand. I sort of like the chrono pushers being without obstruction and used by my dominate hand.
I'm right handed and wear watches on the right wrist and I already feel incredibly attacked
OH MY GOODNESS! FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT, I THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY! in elementary, all of my teachers went out of their way to make me write right handed, it was terrible i could never do it. none of them would teach whilst using my left hand, i always figured it was because they were all right handed and just assumed that teaching writing is the same regardless of handedness and it would be easier to just teach me the same way they do it. i firmly believe if youre right handed, and cannot write with your left, you cannot properly teach a left handed person to write well. i struggled for years, to this day my handwriting is bad with my left hand and impossible with my right. it is legible but one could describe it as well, elementary level smh in sports it was the same thing, forced me to throw right handed, kick righty etc, i admit it was much easier an adjustment to throw and kick righty than it was to write, again i still cannot write with my right hand. so now, i eat with my left, always my first step is my left foot, i drink with my left, write and catch but throw and kick with my right. i can switch hands for drinking and using utensils but it feel super awkward cutting a steak with my left hand and picking up a fork or cup with my right. luckily my padre was thoughtful enough to get me a left handed violin when he found out i wanted to learn. bless him and thank you for coming to my TedTalk
p.s. i am a true lefty, left handed, left eyed, and left footed smh i was born into a family of all right handed people save myself. and my big sister married into a family of all left handed people save her husband....the world is a crazy place yall
Do they just turn the dials 180⁰ or these wind opposite too?
I am a lefty and always wear my watch on the left, unless I am testing a watch after servicing it then I'll wear that on my right wrist as well, anyhow this isn't really a left-handed watch, it's supposed to be worn on the left wrist, the reason the crown is on the left is so it doesn't stick in the back of your hand, a lot of Russian dive watches are like this, since they a large screw down cap over the crown which sticks out quite a bit.
And if this was a proper left-handed watch then it would wind with the crown rolling away from you like a normal watch with the crown on the right, and because it's a right-handed movement flipped around you have wind with the crown towards you, I normally wind these by flipping it around and wind with my right hand.
These days people just wear their watch on which ever wrist they like, the original reason people were encouraged to wear the new fangled wrist watch on the left wrist is apart from right handedness is dominant is also the least used limb, was watches were not shock resistant so a balance staff replacement was a common repair, and wearing it on the left hopefully it was less knocked around.
Right handed and wear my watch on the same wrist. Why? Because my mother does. She’s my all and she rocks her Cartier awesomely!
I would wear this even though I am right handed because that the crown is more than protected pointed to my body BUT its because of the shape on my Panerai where the crown guard actually sometimes dig into my hand when I wear it which is minor inconvenience.
7:20 scared the shit out of me
Hey, what's the leftmost watch on your youtube channel banner?
I am right handed and i wear my watch on my right hand because my father was left handed so when i got my first watch i looked to my dad to see where to where it
They say 2500 left handed people die every year from using right handed tools.
I’m glad winding and setting my watch won’t lead to my demise.
I’m a south paw, so wear my Apple Watch on my right wrist. Leaving the right one for my mechanical watches. No need to worry about how much battery power is left in the AW when I need to see the time at anytime.
"Wave and wag." Wag. He said, "wag"!

I'm LH, I wear my watch on the RH, it makes sense. Apart from using a computer pointing device, I'm not at all proficient at using my RH, I'm left-footed, prefer to use my optically inferior left eye, listen with my left ear ....
