Is wearing a watch on the right hand a recommended practice (sunnah)?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is it correct to say that wearing a watch on the right hand is a recommended practice (sunnah) based on the hadith of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her)?

Answer:
A watch was not worn in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), nor in the time of his Companions. It is a new thing, something recent. What was worn was the ring. This is what was worn in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He made a ring of silver and forbade men from wearing rings of gold. They used to wear it on the left hand. They used to wear it on the left hand. And whoever wears it on the right hand, there is nothing wrong with that. There is nothing wrong with wearing it on the right hand. And what should be done is that a person should not deviate from the custom of his land.
If they wear the ring on the left, he wears it on the left. If they wear it on the right, he wears it on the right, and he does not oppose them, because the matter is broad in this regard. As for the watch, it is a new thing. When it first appeared, many scholars disliked it because it is like bracelets. They said this is like bracelets, and these bracelets are for women. They disliked wearing the watch when it first appeared. Then, when it became widespread and many people started wearing it, they remained silent and became lenient regarding it. So it is among the permissible things, and it is worn according to the custom of the society in which you live. Do not oppose the society in this matter so that you become a source of notoriety among them. Yes.
