I'm a rightie, but I can't stand having a watch on my left hand so it doesn't matter much to me. I don't wear a watch often anyway though - that's what mobile phones are for.

Chuck my watch on the ground in the wet grass next to my bow stand, so i can see what the time is if I need to, I have about 10 watches most of them are waterproof.

In competition I put mine on my scope and use it as a timer. It helps me to pace my shots.

I used to take my watch off for some sports, but I stopped doing that for archery after I had a watch stolen while I was shooting. I wouldn't like to take it off now, it would be just one more thing to have to think about. As it is, the only time it might be an issue is trying to look at the damn thing while wearing waterproofs...
I'm not sure I could continue wearing it if I shot longbow though. I understand that they tend to 'bite' a bit lower on your arm than a recurve.

I have a plastic sports casio on a strap hanging off my belt next to my quiver.

I have not worn a watch since I started riding motorcycles, but that's another story.

Check your brace height. If it's really low you may get more of this. Always use a bracer, the string can do your arm some real problems.

I just switch it over to my right wrist. It felt odd the first few times I did this, but after wearing the watch on the right wrist for a day its now completely natural. By default I wear it on the left, but if I've been shooting it stays on the right all day thereafter.
