A question just like this was posted yesterday. Strange.
Wearing your watch on the inside of your wrist started off as a military thing so that you could aim your gun and not have to move your entire wrist to see the time. It can also be attributed to not having light bounce off the face and give away your location.
My biggest pet peeve is when watches are too loose and bounce around someone's wrist. Unless it is a woman's jewelery watch that is SUPPOSED to look like a bracelet, it should fit properly.
The left or right side should be determined by your dominant hand--you're supposed to wear your watch opposite of your dominant hand. This is to keep the wear and tear of your watch to a minimum and also so you can keep doing whatever you may need to do with your dominant hand without stopping to check the time. However, I'm a righty but still wear my watch on my right hand. :)

i am lefthanded and wear my watch on my right wrist. I don't like it when my wrist is too loose and slips to the inside. it should be on the outside, but really that is personal preference. I liked the explanation of the military use from previous poster. Very logical reason.
really, where you watch wherever you want. that is not something I would look for when checking out guys. it is an unimportant thing to me. Most of the guys I have gone out with don't even wear watches.

Looks weird if it is inside of the wrist. Must be on the outside.

i hate it when people wear it inside their wrist. it isn't cool you know. are they too selfish to let other's be able to see the time??! where it outside, where it should be! iether left or right, whichever you feel comfortable. if i do wear a watch ( i seldom do) i wear it on my left wrist (since i'm a leftie) facing it outside.

Wear it how you like it. If girls are that nitpicky then you dont need them.

Does it really matter?
It's YOUR watch, so you should do whatever YOU want with it.
