I have no problem with wearing watches on the right - I have tried the left wrist but it feels strange. I am left-handed in most things so it makes sense to keep the watch on the hand that isn't in the thick of the action. Not yet come across a watch that is difficult to operate because it is built for right-handers.
Many traditional wind-up watches have the winder at the 3 o'clock position which must dig in if you are wearing on the left and your wrist is bent backwards. Far more comfortable on the right wrist and, unless you have the watch band done up like a tourniquet, easy enough to get at the winder.
Any way, here is yesterday's arrival, now happy with a new CR-2016 to chew on.
Nice subdued camo strap
G-2600

It was mainly the Frogman 1000 that I was unsure of, as it's been made really to be worn on the left wrist

I noticed no problem with wearing it on my right wrist, had it on for about 36 hours continuously - apart from taking a bath, I always remove watches when doing that!
It's not the only asymmetric watch that I have either :
Two Frog 200's, this DWX-100:
and this Marks and Spencer sport watch (they should be ashamed!)
On the other hand (pun unintentional but I'll leave it in) is this:
which, peversely, I am wearing on the left hand because I was too lazy to take off the watch on the right hand to take a photo. For some reason Casio made it that way round with no thought to left wristed watch wearers being put off by the perceived discomfort.
Or, short answer, not bovvered

I'm surprised that it doesnt effect the movement of your hand in anyway but its ofc a good thing that it doesnt Will def keep that in mind when thinking about getting one

Does that have the same module as the DW-6200 (or whatever is called the "rally") and supposedly dispised?

Yesterday - left the house to go and see the historian at the local museum - didn't put a watch on! Had to tell the time by my car clock, radio, mobile phone, angle of the sun and, half an hour before sunset, the clock on the control panel of the microlight I blagged a lift in
Today made sure I had a King on my wrist as I wrestled with a friend's infected computer ( many of the files had been set to hidden and it had AOL installed - a virus in itself IMHO) Didn't bother with a picture as you all know what a GX-56 looks like
