Q: Can I use the watch on my right wrist?

I'm left handed is it possible to use the watch on my right wrist and have the button to the left without the screen being upside down?

Hi

 

Apple Watch watch can be worn on either wrist and with the buttons on either side.

 

To change the configuration, on your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch (tab) > General > Watch Orientation > choose the preferred wrist and the side on which the buttons will be located.

    I know that you can wear it on the right wrist, you need to change the setting in the Watch app on the phone. On the iPhone, go to the Watch App, make sure you tap on My Watch. From there go to General>Watch Orientation. Tap on that and you can set the wrist, and the digital crown location, which should orient the watch the correct way for you.
