Is it correct to wear the watch on the right/left hand?

Some racing models, designed for ease of operation for the driver, have the crown on the left side, but are designed to be worn on the left wrist!

Some “racing models,” which have become a major genre in the watch world, have the crown and stopwatch control buttons (pushers) on the left side of the watch. In these models, the pushers are placed on the left side of the watch to make it easier for the racing driver to press the buttons with his right thumb, which is easier to exert pressure on while operating the steering wheel with his left hand wearing the watch. The famous EDOX Chrono Rally is a sponsor of the Dakar Rally.

It is interesting to note that, like the aforementioned left-hand model, the controls are on the left side of the watch, but for completely different reasons and designed for right-handers.

Wearing a watch on the right wrist is a “symbol of peace”?

I have often heard the theory that wearing a watch on the right wrist is a symbol of peace. Imagine a sniper holding a rifle at an assassination target. If he wears a watch on his right wrist, he must remove his finger from the trigger of the rifle to check the time of the planned assassination. If you are not careful, you may miss the assassination target, or you may decide to stop the assassination. The idea that wearing a wristwatch on the right wrist would save the life of the target of the assassination led to the theory that ” wearing a watch on the right wrist = a symbol of peace. Incidentally, the source of this theory is unknown and its authenticity is not certain, so it is recommended to be careful about nuance when talking about it as trivia, and to talk about it lightly in a fashionable manner.
