Inaccurate activity tracking due to Watch on the "wrong" wrist?

Hey everyone,


I was wondering where to wear my Apple Watch - left or right wrist? I'm right hand and therefore practice sports like Badminton and Tennis with my right arm. But if I wore the Apple Watch on my left wrist, the tracking wouldn't be accurate I guess.

Does anyone have first hand information? Would the Apple Watch measure the same energy consumption on either wrists?

It makes no difference which wrist you wear the watch on,depending on which workout you choose either the GPS or the accelerometer or a combination of both measures your workout/exercise.
