what may or may not be hard reality

Of course, being the nerd that I am, I can tell you that Lena Headey does the same thing, right-handed, watch on the left, face of the watch on the inside of the wrist.

I haven't figured out why the cell goes on the left. Probably because I often have pens in my right pant-pocket (being a woman and not having shirt-pockets), and I go for a pen about 20 times more often than I go for the phone.

(And yes. I agree with you on the TV-nonsense-pulling. Research, people! It is *so* easy.)
