Q: Will there be a left handed version of the Apple Watch?

In the hopes of being accessible to all people, will Apple consider making a version where the crown will be on the left side of the watch for the left handed users?

    If there's a way to flip the screen then it may be wearable - though the "crown" will be at the bottom rather than the top.

    I was thinking the same thing, a 180 flip of the screen and reverse the rotation on the crown and voila! you have a left handed watch.  Come on Apple, throw us left handed folks a bone!

    A few places are reporting that an Apple spokesperson says you can choose this during the initial set-up.

    Although I love the design of the new Watch, I was really disappointing watching a 10min video with only right handed people using it. I hear that Apple explained that is a way to flip the screen though the "crown" will be at the bottom rather than the top. Rather poor solution in my opinion.

    Apple has the best designers and nobody has thought about left handed people, that  counts as 15% of the population. A specific and unique Watch for left handed would be the real revolution here.
