What hand do you wear a watch on?

Originally people had to wind their watch each day. Watches were designed so that they could be wound by the watch stem with the right hand. Most people wore their watches on their left wrists to make it easier to wind the watch with their right hand. With improvements in watches such as batteries and self-winding watches, the stem has become a way to set the watch, but is no longer needed for winding the watch each day. It has become more of a personal preference as to which hand to wear the watch on. Right handed people tend to wear their watches on their left wrist to avoid interference with activities such as hand writing, etc., where as left handed people tend to wear their watches on their right wrists, for the same reasons.
