Traditionally, watches are worn on the wrist of your non-dominant hand — the one you use less often. This helps avoid bumps, scratches, and discomfort when performing everyday tasks.
That’s why right-handed people, who make up the majority of the population, often wear their watches on the left wrist. For left-handed men, it makes perfect sense to switch it around.
In reality, there’s no universal rule. It’s all about function, comfort, and personal expression. Whether you reach for your right or left wrist, your choice should complement your lifestyle — not complicate it.
When choosing a watch, pay attention to design ergonomics. Many traditional models are made with right-handed users in mind — for instance, with the crown placed for easier adjustment on the left wrist.
At Nordgreen, our minimalist timepieces are thoughtfully designed to suit both left- and right-handed wearers equally. Whether it’s the Pioneer chronograph, the Native, or the Philosopher, each model offers clean Scandinavian design and comfort, whichever wrist you wear it on.
