Conventional wisdom is to keep your watch on your non-dominant wrist. This means that left-handed people will have to buy a custom model. It is possible to exchange the orientation and the key side.

Below, we’ll walk you through how to change your wrist and orientation on the Galaxy Watch, Apple Watch, Pixel Watch, and other brands.
