I have always thought that if you are right handed, you wear your watch on your left wrist so that you don't damage it by bumping it up against something. Now all the sims in Sims 4 right handed. So why are they wearing their watches on their right wrist?

Ah, I see. This is honestly the first I've heard of this but like I said; I don't tend to wear jewelry. Maybe in the future when they add more accessories they'll add a left handed watch.

Also, it's a fashion choice - who gives a plum if it's uncomfortable if it looks CHIC
Whenever I see anyone in RL, on TV, the movies, etc. wearing a watch on their right wrist, I also look to see which hand they write with, and 9 times out of 10 they are left handed.
My guess is more left handed people would notice this since being right handed is more common.
I come from a military family myself but that's the extent of a label I'd place on it. I'd probably have to ask an uncle, brother, or my grandfather. Again, because I don't tend wear jewelry.
A lot of the accessories we have in game that go on one hand or an arm, don't really have a match for the other side so I think that's all it is. Just them making the accessories for one hand/arm and stopping there(instead of doing it for both). That's why I said perhaps in the future they'll add a left handed watch.

When it comes to Sims 4 I don't really mind which wrist they wear them on,although I agree the option to choose either would be nice. The more options the better,big or small in my opinion! I do find it annoying though that there doesn't seem to be any watches AT ALL for females- especially irritating if I'm making a business-like efficient Sim,or with some Athletic outfits for example. Is it just me that bothers? Does no female in EA wear watches?
Time-related though by far my biggest bug-bear is that the clocks don't show proper in-game Sim time unlike in Sims 3. Plus they are all stuck at different times. Unless I just dreamed all that in which case don't mind me,I'm old and sleep deprived XD

Thank you so for reminding me about that part of wearing a wrist watch.
Although my mother's complaints do indicate that at some point in the past there was such rule, nowadays I see people wear them on either wrist (sometimes on both)!
Watches have become less of an utility item and more of a fashion statement.
I do wish, however, all arm and hand adornments could be worn on both sides, since, to my understanding, they'd simply have to mirror the object.
And another topic entirely, I will refrain from ranting about sims being born with a mobile/cell phone attached...
Anyway, I understand the reasons for them dropping the left/right handedness from the users choice, if I hear any more about the time it takes to animate etc... but, I will never understand, ever, why wristwatches and/or every bracelet etc for that matter aren't available for both left or write wrist, it gives you so much more in options if they would clone these objects and flip them, true it would be subtle but, I really feel it would help when diversifying individual sims.
Watches were something typically passed down through families and it makes sense that people would want to protect them from nicks and dings by using them on the non-dominant wrist.
These days, with watches being more like show-pieces, or hi-tech helpers, they tend to be bought with no intention of passing them down.
Indeed.
