You wear your watch on your dominant hand? That feels very unnatural to me. Just manipulating the straps alone seems difficult, so that's a barrier right there...

Not to forget, that most Watches are designed to be worn on the left side. (Position of the Buttons etc.) Smartwatches are improving here, in displaying a rotated screen, but often even these are asymmetrical designed and thus harder to use on the right arm.

Yes, for right-handed people. The opposite is true for left-handed people, and left-handed versions of watches.

I do as well. Even since I was a kid, wearing watches on the wrist of my non-dominant hand felt unnatural. I have no problem manipulating the strap or buttons on my watches.
