Double-wristing is the habit of wearing two watches at the same time. The watches may be worn on the same arm or one on each wrist. The practice may be done as a way to keep time in different time zones, as luxury display or for personal reasons.[1][2] While often seen as eccentric, double-wristing is also done by non-public people for practical reasons.[1][3]
