I wear my Aladin TEC on my right arm.
 
Aladin Tec2G on right arm. Backup bottom timer and compass on left.
 
I wear mine on my left wrist, which doesn't seem to give me any problems when I raise my left elbow to use my drysuit's shoulder dump.
 
Splitlip:
GUE will tell you right (for bottom timer anyway) so you can shine your light on it while operating a scooter.
And if you don't have a scooter?

Nothing is on my right hand as that is the one I do digging and grabbing lobsters with. I also use a gauntlet type glove or mit to protect the seals form the above activities.
 
i wear my computer and backup watch on my left

that way i can shine my light (which is on my right wrist) on them at any time

my light is on my right wrist so that the chord won't dangle the way it does when i wear my light on the left hand, snagging me on tright passages.
 
I am right handed. So my slate with compass is on my left wrist leaving the right for the computer.
 
divefreaky:
both. have my primary computer on my right and my back up on my left. both are suunto and have not have a prob with either

Both, but the reverse of divefreaky, for daylight dives. Both are Seiko made (TUSA IQ-700 primary - slightly more conservative programming makes it the primary computer - and DR NiTek3 secondary computer).

Reverse (similar to divefreaky) for night dives since my primary has backlightling and my secondary does not.

My primary light goes in my right hand, similar to H2Andy.

I am right handed.

I am considering changing to having primary computer on right wrist and moving my secondary computer to retractor & clip mount. I'll give this a try for daylight diving anyway on my next trip, and see how it goes.
 
I usually have a camera in my right hand (can't reach the shutter release with the left hand, so that's not an option. As a result, that leaves my left hand for holding the light. That's how GUE likes it anyway, so double bonus.

With the light in my left hand, I want the computer on my right so I can shine the light on it. I used to wear it on my left hand (like a watch) before I started night diving with cameras a lot.
 
I put all my instruments in my left arm, I am right handed.
 
Computer on the right wrist, back up computer in a small pocket mounted on the left front of my BC, watch on left.

I thought it would be awkward having the computer on my right, but it's all very easy that way.
