I am right handed but wear my poppy on my left lapel and when i wear a watch i wear it on my left wrist. However my right and left handed pals tend to wear watches on their right wrist. As for poppies it is a 50/50 mix. How do you wear yours?

I wear my communicator on the left, 6" directly under the centre of my shoulder.
I wear my rank insignia on my right lapel. Three gold pips in a row.

Right handed. Watch goes on the left wrist. Poppies go on my left lapel.
I don't wear one as I don't feel the need to brag that I donated.
This has nothing to do with the fact I was stabbed/lost/accidentally desecrated every poppy I ever had as a child.
Right handed.
Knife in right hand, spoon in right hand.
Left rein.

Left handed for most things. For games where you point a 'bat' downwards, eg cricket and golf, I'm right handed; but for things like tennis, I use my left.
When eating, knife in right hand, fork in left; but spoon in left as well.
Watch on right wrist, with the face facing 'inwards', in the same direction as my palm. I notice that most people who wear a watch on their left wrist have the face pointing 'outwards', yet most who wear on the right have, like me, it facing 'inwards'.
Right handed for writing. Left handed for cue sports. Wear watch on left wrist, face pointing in opposite direction to palm. Badges etc on left lapel. Spoon in right hand.
I don't wear poppies either -- one because they're a bugger to pin on properly and end up falling off / getting bashed, and two because of the increase in poppy fascism* where not wearing a poppy is seen as desecrating the memory of those fallen. I observe Remembrance, I don't celebrate it.
Incidentally, in my new job, I've discovered that despite it being my weaker hand, I prefer to hold the paper cup in my left hand whilst using my right hand to pump the hot water. Felt weird and unsteady at first but now I'm used to it.
*Also seen in those military glamorisers, right-wing blowhards and Sun-reading layabouts suffering from army envy who, under the pretence of being patriotic and caring, rabidly promote Help4Heroes at every opportunity thus wholly absolving the government of its responsibility in caring for wounded soldiers, but that's another discussion.

I think that, somewhere deep at the bottom of my soul, I've always imagined you in a Starfleet uniform.Gavin Scott wrote:I wear my communicator on the left, 6" directly under the centre of my shoulder.

But with a Janeway hair-do. Yeah, definitely with the big Janeway hair. Hot.
