Why do watches have a "male left and female right" way of wearing? What's behind this?

Shopping guide in the watch era We often hear that men are left and women are right, and we know that this is a custom. But do you know how this custom came about? According to the calendar of the May Movement Calendar, the sun, moon and Er Shen of the Chinese nation are transformed by Pangu's eyes, and the sun god is transformed by Pangu's left eye. The moon god incarnated as Pangu's right eye, and the folk custom of "male left and female right" came from this.

Men used to go to public toilets, men left and women right; Wearing a wedding ring, male left and female right; There are also wedding photos, and couples attend some ceremonial occasions. Men are often on the left and women are often on the right. If the position is reversed, some people will joke that it violates the custom of "male left and female right". However, modern people have gradually stopped talking about the custom of male left and female right, especially when wearing watches. Both men and women, people who wear watches in their left hand tend to be more. Why is this?

First, there are many people who wear watches with their left hands, because there are fewer left-handed people. Most people's dominant hand is their right hand. If you wear a watch in your right hand, it will be very inconvenient, such as writing, using a mouse and so on. People don't do much with their left hands, so wearing a watch won't hinder too many things. For example, if you are a photographer, you usually press the shutter with your right hand. If you want to see the time, you can't let go of the shutter and look at the time. Another point is that wearing a watch on the left hand is more conducive to the maintenance of the watch, and it is not as easy to bump as wearing it on the right hand. However, most people should wear a watch on their left hand because it blocks their right hand.

Wearing a watch is based on comfort and easy reading. It makes no difference which hand men and women wear. In fact, not only watches, rings, bracelets and other accessories, but also many women like to wear them on their left hands like men. I think this is because men and women are equal now, and women have to work like men. It will be inconvenient to be "male left and female right" as before.

Back to the topic, in addition to the reason that it is more convenient for the left hand to wear the watch, it is also because most watches (except multi-function electronic watches) have crowns designed for the convenience of the left and right hands, while those who are used to wearing the watch with the right hand need to buy (or customize) the "right hand watch" with the crown to the left. For example, Putin wears a watch in his right hand. However, I think the design of left-hand watch and watch is mutually causal. Because there are more right-handed people, the design of the crown is convenient for right-handed adjustment.

However, modern society is open and nothing is impossible. Wearing underwear can become a fashion trend, not to mention whether wearing a watch is left-handed or right-handed. Some people say that only left-handed people wear their right hands, and wearing them is suspected of being forced. It's just a personal habit. It's not unusual for someone to change hands day by day. In a word, wearing a left hand or a right hand has nothing to do with men and women, but depends on personal preferences and habits.
