Apple Watch Series 6 on Dominant Hand

Hi all, I was wondering if the Apple Watch Series 6's accuracy is in any way affected if it is worn on the dominant hand - for example, I am left-handed and would wear it on my left wrist.


I have looked through google and on this forum and could not find anything recent other than explanations that the watch can be worn on either wrist.


Thank you!

It doesn't matter which wrist you wear it on,the watch's sensors don't know which wrist it's on they just know it's on A wrist and start sensing accordingly.

The only time it's even mentioned in settings is so that the watch face will be the right way up which ever wrist you wear it on.
