Like most smartwatches, the Apple Watch is configured for right-handers. But if you’re left-handed, how do you get your Apple Watch right for you? Don’t panic, you can wear your Apple smartwatch on either arm. Here’s how to adjust some settings for the right or left arm.
To summarize:
If you’re left-handed, or prefer to wear your watch on your right arm, you’ve probably noticed that (usually) the original Apple Watch setup isn’t designed for left-handed life. Good news, you can change the orientation of the watch display and digital crown to fit your right or left hand.
