If you must wear one, it goes on the wrist of your fretting hand. On the other wrist it just gets in the way of your playing.

More importantly, if you are like me and wear your watch on the inside of your right wrist, and it's a mechanical watch, the pickups can do bad things to the internals. Must take my three watches in to be looked at a jeweller some time...

I've found clip-on tuners highly inaccurate with my headless Seis.

Only just spotted this thread and the comments about watches.

Every member of our band owns, by complete, coincidence, a watch from the same manufacturer and at most gigs there's at least 3-4 of us wearing one or other of their watches (some of us have multiple watches from this brand).

At a gig last year we were spotted wearing these and approached by the manufacturer to do some promotional work for them :)

It hasn't appeared yet but hopefully will at some point later this year.

So, for us, wearing a watch on a gig was not only a good thing but could earn us money and get additional publicity.

It was never part of the band 'look' but definitely seems to have paid dividends - maybe we'll even get some free watches, lol

Ive wondered why those awful (to look at) clip on headstock tuners haven't got a time on them... at least you could kill two birds with one look without the audience knowing that you are clock watching.
