In the name of Allāh, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalāmu ῾alaykum wa Rahmatullāhi Wabarakātuh
 
It is permissible to wear the watch on either hand on the condition that:

  • Wearing a watch on that particular hand is not the salient feature (shiʿār) of the disbelievers
  • It does not resemble the opposite gender
  •  
    However, the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم liked to do all good things with his right hand.  Wearing a watch is a good act such that it helps a person keep track of time for punctuality and prayer times.  Therefore, if a person wears his/her watch on the right hand with this intention, he/she will merit thawāb, inshāAllāh. 
     
    As for permissibility, to wear the watch in either hand is permissible without any dislike, as long as the above two conditions are met.
