I love the ability to wear the Apple Watch on my right wrist. I also switched the bands around to make it a completely left-handed watch.
Got a tip for us?

Then you get lots of accidental wheel presses if you do it that way. Easier to get to...easier to press the wheel. Pick your poison.
You can do that with all series of Watches. I did my series 0 for a while... now I wear it on my right wrist with the buttons on the right... it just feels more natural.
Like this??
Band looks way too tight!

No so. I wear mine the same and have never had any accidental presses. Mine did not when I wore it on my left wrist, why should it on my right?
This actually worked from day one... Apple showed it off at the watch reveal back in autumn 2014 IIRC.
Can't say I've ever accidentally clicked my crown with the back of my hand in being a wearer for the past 3 years (almost.) My hand just doesn't flex far enough to even push against the crown, much less be able to click it.
Try doing push-ups with it that way. Unless you wear your watch on your forearm, you’ll trigger it.

If you workout at all, you’ll trigger the crown. I’m sure there’s lots of other ways to trigger it, but I switched it back once I triggered it during a workout.
I’m doing a push up every other days & have never accidentally trigger any crown clicking. (own the watch from the original version to Series 3). I can’t even intentionally trigger it.
This is a no issue for someone whose wrist is thin & lean.

Don’t know what to tell you. Maybe you’ve been doing push-ups wrong since owning the original? Not sure. Plenty of YouTube videos to watch to see how to do a proper push-up if that’s the case.
But congrats on not triggering the crown. I do trigger it so I wear it the other way.
There’s no snark quite like ‘superiority’ snark
Lol he basically said I had fat wrists. Oh well. He’ll get over it.
I agree with @Newtons Apple. You are wearing your band way too tight.
Like this??
Oh.. I didn’t mean it to comes out like that. Just stating the fact about the physicality of my wrist, which defeats your insistence that this is universal problem.
This thread seems to have taken a strange turn ( sorry . The important thing is that lefties have a choice and can wear the watch in the manner that suits them best. Not so with my “old” analogue watch.

Not to mention the hole in the pants
What I don't get is why this topic exists, because this is how the Apple Watch is intended. You can wear it if you're left handed or right handed. It was designed to be worn the way you like it, left or right, with the buttons left or right, with the bands the way you like it. It's nothing new since 2014, right? (pun intended
)
I wear my 42mm Series 0 on my left wrist with buttons to the right as I think it just looks wrong any other way - specially when I see pics of people with buttons on the left as the watch then looks upside down....
