4 best watches for left handed Men in 2020
Have you ever broken your dominant hand? If you have, then you know what a major pain it is to carry out your day to day tasks with just your non dominant hand. Then there are the lefties, going about their day, always surrounded by things that are designed for ease of use of the right handed.
In a world where 90% of the population is right handed, it is really no surprise that the 10% of lefties have a hard time. From constant ink stains on their hands to can openers, ice cream scoops, coffee cups, scissors, tools and machinery and even weapons for that matter, that are designed to their disadvantage, lefties struggle at times in this world that favors the majority.
To the 90% of our readers who are right handed, there are a million little things in life that you take for granted without ever stopping to think about it. Watches are such a thing. It is common practice to wear your watch on your non dominant hand, so that it doesn’t interfere in your daily activities. And most watches are designed as right handed. You wouldn’t probably even notice the difference until you put on a right handed watch on your right wrist. They have the crown (the little knob on the side that you use for adjusting the time) and most other controls if any, situated on the right side of the dial, intended to be turned using your right hand while being worn on your left. It is a very difficult and awkward ordeal to do it the other way around.
Here enters best left handed watches. They are indistinguishable from righty watches in every way but one- the positioning of the crown. Left handed watches have the crown on the left side of the dial, enabling easy operation by left handed people who can now wear their watches on their right hand without any difficulties. But considering that watch manufacturers, like all businesses, target their products towards the majority, left handed watches of good quality are difficult to find, and in a lot of cases, way more expensive. It seems like the southpaws can never catch a break. So we have put together a little list of the four best left handed watches for men that are out there in the market right now.
Invicta Men's 3332 Force Collection Stainless Steel Left-Handed Watch with Black Leather Band

The contrast in color, size as well as luminosity of the numbers on the dial makes it easy to tell the time.
The band is a quick change pin type so if you need to switch up the look a bit in the future it’s easy to do. All functions are fairly straightforward to use and accurate. It features a mineral crystal which boasts to be scratch resistant with an anti reflective coating. Like all Invicta pieces, it claims a 1 year warranty, but make sure to register your watch on the Invicta website within 30 days of buying it.
