Left or Right, In or Out

Where and how do you wear your wrist computer?
I wear it on my right arm facing inwards which allows me to control buoyancy with the left, and when night diving I can simultaneously read my computer and point my light up while surfacing.

Hmmm...interesting! I wear my computer on my left wrist on the thumb side.

It makes total sense to wear it in the right, so that you can look at it while controlling inflator, especially during safety stop. Tried it this way for awhile but kept looking at my empty left wrist, where I normally wear my watch, whenever I wanted to check my computer. Finally gave up went back to wearing it on m left wrist.

I have my compass on the left wrist, I was annoyed at looking at my left wrist first then having to look at my right, but I was even more annoyed at trying to control the inflator and looking at the computer at the same time so I stuck with it.

I wear mine of the Left facing in. It does not bother me when I am ascending. I just keep my inflator in my hand and watch the puter. Then I just hit the button to let air out as needed. I do not need to keep my eyes on it every second. I can look away for a split second to let some air out. Then for the safety stop I do not usually have my inflator in me hand. I just hang out with both hands together so that I can watch my depth to make sure that I do not move to much. It would be tough for me on the right hand only because I wear my watches on my left and that is where I am use to looking at. If you can get use to it being on the right there is nothing wrong with it. Just do what feels natural to you...
