When I wore a watch, I'd wear it only when outside my home (or hotel
room if I were staying in one).

I don't, but I'm not "most"

BTW: I miss the Apple Watch for left handers (who wear their watch on 
the right wrist)

The Apple Watch works just fine for left handers on the right wrist.

When worn on left arm, the watch has the button facing the hand.

When worn on right arm, the watch should have the botton facing the
hand, but it faces towards the body.

Why do you make so many statements out of ignorance like this? Apple
asks you during initial setup which orientation you want to use. The
software uses the orientation you choose. So the physical orientation
and digital crown can face either direction you wish, and the display is
adjusted accordingly.

Display may be adjusted, but you end up with the button on top and crown
on bottom if worn on right arm "upside down" to have buttons facing
towards hard.

Color me not surprised that when you are wrong you immediately change
your tune and try to find something else wrong with it. Haters gonna
hate, and trolls like you gonna troll, after all.

Thet a left handed is capable of adapting is not in discussion.

But this is different from stating that the watch can be symmetrically
worn on either arm. Botton locations before different.

The issue is with lawyers who would tell Apple whether the watch is
sufficiently adaptable for Apple to advertise it as being for both left
and right handed people.


Remember that when it comes to advertising, lawyers get picky. An early
iPad model was sold illegally in Australia because it was claimed to be
LTE compatible when it did not support any LTE frequencies in use in
Australia at that time. This went to courts and Apple had to change
packaging and instrictions/specs for it.

No, the issue is with pedantic idiots who feel they must troll Apple to
find *something* wrong so they can claim Apple is somehow failing in
some way to support their hatred of the company and what it stands for.
Simply enjoying a good product is too simple and clean an existence for
these people. Haters gonna hate. It's just too bad for the world that
people like that exist. They do essentially nothing to further the human
race, and a whole lot to set us back. They are the very definition of
pathetic and should be rightly ignored by and large.

it has nothing to do with lawyers and it's a lot more adaptable than a

I've never understood the wearing of a watch on the right arm. Some 
people wear their watches under the wrist -- what provisions has the 
perfidious Apple Corp made for them?

I'm off to throw stones at my neighbour now, who opens his hard-boiled 
egg at the big end, the filthy heretic.

Well, if you were left-handed and throwing stones, you would see why
you would want to have the watch on the right hand.

Are you left handed?

When I was fairly young I got a digital watch which I wore on my right wrist. I always wore watches on the right wrist until I got a real watch that you had to wind, which had to be on the left wrist.

I've only seen nurses do that, and not in a long time.

I am. I don't understand what that has to do with it. I guess some
